I posted some static images of this photo shoot earlier, but the images were more out of a test to see how the overlay script worked when clicking on an image. I know, I know…shut up with the geek speak and show me the photos. Well, I just came across an AWESOME site that creates high production quality slide shows with images and I just had to use this photo shoot as my first attempt at it. I knew the perfect song and I couldn’t wait to see what they came up with. I think you’ll be impressed and you’ve got to try it for yourself. You can sign up for free for 30 second slide shows, pay $3.00 for an individual full length video, or pay $30.00 per year for unlimited full length videos. It’s just so cool what you can do with digital photography and we’re just starting to scratch the surface. It appears that right now I’m only able to get the slide show to work in the Firefox browser. If you don’t have it you can get it here for free. I’m working on getting it to work in Explorer.
**Update: 09.25.07: This is now working in Explorer. Working with the gentlemen over at Animoto they informed me of a workaround to get the movie to play in a Word Press blog when viewed in Explorer. I’m telling you, these guys have a great product and even better customer service. Give em a try!
OK, enough techno-babble, this photo shoot deserves some better coverage anyway so, I’m glad to re-visit it. As I posted earlier, Julie, the girl’s grandmother in this photo shoot, used to teach PE with my dad. It really is amazing that she knew me when I was her grand daughters’ ages in these photos. It makes this photo shoot that much more special. Being able to photograph children is always an honor. Getting to do it for such a longtime personal friend of the family is truly a blessing.
