I have been blogging for a little more than a year – and usually I find a photo that, for me, generates 1000 words. I am stepping outside of my box a little. Following are five videos – of varying length – with lots of photos, a little music, and very few words. Not sure why I have changed the format for this post, but I hope – for those visiting my blog – that one photo, one minute, one moment generates many, many thoughts, ideas, words. (Please note: This attempt is my first in terms of using video. All suggestions would be welcome!)
The Music . . .
Barry, John. (1986). Out of Africa: Soundtrack from the Motion Picture. N.L.: Geffen Records.
Carpenter, Richard. (2004). Karen’s Theme. On Carpenters Gold 35th Anniversary Edition. N.L.: A & M Records
The Cranberries. (1998). Dreams. On You’ve Got Mail (Music from the Motion Picture). N.L.: Atlantic Recording Corporation.
Durante, Jimmy. (1998) You Made Me Love You. On You’ve Got Mail (Music from the Motion Picture). N.L.: Atlantic Recording Corporation.
The Philadelphia Orchestra & Normady, E. (2001). Clare de lune. On Ocean’s Eleven (Music from the Motion Picture). N.L.: Warner Bros. Records Inc.
I think it’s good to change the format every so often. It makes you not solidify in the mold, so to speak. And I enjoy all the videos. Some feedback: I think the way you edit The Backyard in Winter, Main in Three and The Swiss Alps makes them more dynamic than the two last ones. And generally I would be careful to make video presentations longer than 2 to 3 minutes. But it was fun to watch all five.
Thanks for the feedback. I think I knew that I should keep them to less than three minutes, but I didn’t listen to myself. I tried a couple different types of software to create them, and consider myself to be a novice – but working on it! Thanks again.
