Autumn in the Land of the Tree Grower's Diary

Took me a while to get this project finished, but here's a movie of my trees this past fall. Turn up the sound!

Enjoy!

TERRIFIC !!! You really ought to send that in to
YouTube..... As the film progressed, I found myself asking
"yeah, but what do these people have to do with the trees?"
Then, when I replayed it, it hit me: if you eliminated
all the trees, it would be a very barren landscape filled
with much less happy people.....

Congrats!

Thanks Carl! Your comment really hit home with me. I love how you totally "got" the reason for the interspersed people pictures!

Beautiful job! Captures the essence of autumn, my favorite season. Would love to send it out to everyone who thinks NJ is just what they see on "The Sopranos!"

Wonderful. You're getting better and better at this. What is the music? And what program do you use to create this?

Dukegg1, you're making me think I should have put a location on the page somewhere, central New Jersey, or Metuchen. Hmm. GREAT comment. Oddly enough, I did a photo shoot last Sunday at a party that spoofed the Sopranos. It was so fun!

Loretta, thanks! I use a flash-based program called ShowIt Web. The music is "Little Martha" by Stephen Bennett. (Coincidentally, the song on the album just before this one is called "Waltz for a Maple Tree." You'd think I'd have picked THAT song, huh?)

I am not familiar with Stephen Bennett. I'll have to check him out.
I would like to learn how to make little clips like that, partly for fun, partly for future presentations and mostly so I could teach my kids.

Loretta,
There are many slide show programs available. Are you on Mac or PC?

RE: Autumn in the Land of the Tree Grower's Diary

I have a PC. I know Macs are suppose to be better for that stuff.

RE: Autumn in the Land of the Tree Grower's Diary

Well, there's plenty of stuff for PC too. (But I'm on a Mac, and could help you if you were on a Mac too. I know nothing about PC's.)

The program I use to make my shows works on either platform though.

Thanks Joolz,
I am not quite ready to sit down and start yet. I am in the "reading about" stage. I imagine it will take a good hunk of time and focus to really get to know it.
