Slide show regarding a Church history

My church asked me to present a 20 minutes slidehow that tells the 10 years history of the church. I have bunch of video cips and photos handy. Anyone have any suggestions on how do I start the slideshow. My church moved 5 times in 10 years!. So how do go thru a flash back of these different locations. Any advise?. Should I show a family picture of each family?. We have 35 families total who joined in different times with us.

You could try something like this.

I adapted a veg file provided by Dave (FrigidNDEditing) to make it.

There was also a guy a while back (a few years maybe) who was attempting "hang" pics on a refrigerator and move the camera (3d track motion) around from one picture to the next. You could just as easily (as I have done above in the example provided) replace some pics with video and let them play. At the end of the video, start zooming back out and pan to another picture, etc. etc.
Something like that would be neat if you have the time. Rest assured though, if you do something like that for free, they will expect it for free next time and as just as good as the last one :)

Thanks Jazz. Some reason the link you provided doesn't work. Means the video won't play.

You have to have the DivX web player to watch it. If you don't want to, below is a summary.

Basically, there are several pictures hung in space and the camera flies up to one and it starts playing the video while the other picturs fade out. when that video is done, the pics fade back in, the cam backs away and then flies through some more pictures until it gets to another video and then it repeats this again until it finishes the final video and all the videos/pictures turn into a baseball which is then hurled at the screen and breaks the glass (illusion of breaking your monitor's glass) and falls away.

slidehow that tells the 10 years history of the church
---------------------------------------------
History is always the easiest to tell in chronological order.
Simple. Straight forward. Just use the best stuff. Clean. Clear.
And of course include all the families !! .. Absolutely! .. They are
your stars. Keep it to 20 minutes. Good luck.

Just my two cents here, but i always like to remember the line Robert Redford used in "A River Runs Through It" when he was teaching his sons how to write. He would hand their paper back to them and say "Again, half as long."

If a 20 minute slideshow is good, a 10 minute slideshow is much better, and a 5 minute slide show is fantastic! Ever sat through a 20 minute slide show? It's not easy, no matter how riveting the material is, and i doubt all the material you've been given is equally riveting.
