I still have this one available at my site:

Weddig Tribute

You will need Real Player to play it.

It has a little video and super8 film as well. I highly recommend using just a little video or film, becuase it helps with the illusion that the stills are really moving. Also, pay close attention to the music you use. It is every bit as important as the pictures.

Finally, if you really want to go pro, do a search, both in this forum and on Google for "Ken Burns" and "photos OR photographs". Ken Burns is a famous documentary filmmaker who made famous the technique of first separating (using Photoshop or similar tool) the foreground object from the backgroun, and then panning separately over each, creating an amazing 3D illusion. Not difficult to do, once you understand the concept, but a little time consuming. Here are my previous posts on this subject:
