Now! On DVD!

This week I made my first DVD. Turns out the DVD part is easy peasy.
I took my camcorder to the Borders construction website and just shot
a bunch of shots. I used iMovie to put them together, realizing most
were not very useful. A couple I ran backwards because it worked
better that way. Then I added some pictures from the web (Google
image search), applied the Ken Burns transitions and some Dave
Brubeck (Blue Rondo) and exported as full quality which I dumped into
DVD.

Came out pretty good. Got lucky on several shots which ended up
matching even though I hadn't shot them that way (or thought about
when I shot them). My favorite is a subtle shot of Ken walking out of
the room and fading out on that action.

So now I'm searching for old projects to make a compilation DVD! Old
home movies and college projects. Some work related video I've done.

Coming soon to a screen near you!
