Thanks to everyone that helped with my latest slideshow project. I gave this to my mother-in-law at x-mas and it was a huge hit.

Thanks again to everyone who helped me get past a couple of roadblocks on this one.

Very cool man - I like the use of multiple pics on the fridge idea - Very nice.

Might have moved around a little more on the pics, but it's totally cool, and I can only say KUDOS MAN, KUDOS!!!

BTW - did you do the saber in Vegas? or something with actual pixel tracking tools? PI, Combustion, AE, etc...? Looked like vegas, but it looked pretty good, so I didn't know for sure.

Thanks for the kind words. I originally had a lot more motion in the video but I felt that it distracted from the pictures. The movie quicly turned into a "showoff" session rather than a means to show a year's worth of family photos/video....so I scaled it back.

The lightsaber movie was done entirely w/ keyframes in Vegas. I actually did it in Vegas 4.0...before I upgraded to 6.0. It was a lot of fun...but TONS of keyframing.

thx,
Jason

Very, very nice. I didn't watch it all - in the middle of other things -- but what a great idea. Sparked my imagination.

Well done. I'm gonna steal your fridge idea for my own baby shots. :-)

I must say that the fridge idea was excellent. I'm gonna have to do something similar for my brother in Iraq. He would love it. I even think I own the same model of fridge!
