I am happy to let you guys know that after 2 years of learning from all here, and thanks to the inspiration and the abilities provided by this great software, I will finally get my 30 seconds of fame. On Sept 15th, in front of about thousand kids, politicians, community leaders, live TV and Radio, my video for the song "Daddy" written and performed by Cincere, a guy for whom I have become a video producer, will be premiered. For all you veterans as well as the new members of this community, here a good example of where Vegas can take you. I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks a lot. The entire video was done with XL1s and I did use a stabilizer which I got from e-bay. I believe the name is Hover Cam or something like that. Very inexpensive and VERY good to work with.

Thanks mrjhands and Skywatcher. I won't forget because technically I'm still a newbie myself. BTW, we got our city mayor to commit to an appearance on the 15th, which than led to three other news stations that said they would show up. If anyone asks me, I will have to mention Vegas. A funny twist of fate that I did not mention is that the manager for Cincere actually was flown to New York last week to meet with the people at Sony Music. I told him to say that we edited the music video in Vegas but I think he forgot all about that.
Thanks again for compliments.

Rafal,

Truly impressive! This is a very important message and you have done an excellent job delivering it. Very touching music from Cincere. This song with your video really works --very complimentary.

Let us know what's next.

Semper Fi,

Tom

Ooorah Tom. Thanks. Watch Fox 6 that day. I can e-mail you the schedule for that day as far as what should be shown at what time. Although I will speak as the Director/Producer, there's a possibility that I might be too ugly for live TV, :-)

FYI, the premiere went really good. Thanks Tom for your generosity, I only wish I would have recorded more than just the video signal ( lol )
Here is an article published in On Milwaukee magazine:

Thanks again to all who wished me well on that day.
