Re: VIDEO #7..."In Celebration of Life"

Good Job Tim, I was a little torn by where you put the names though. They got in the way of the pictures in some cases (not all, mind you), I certainly appreciate your effort and again, good job!

Oh, and I liked the music too

Re: VIDEO #7..."In Celebration of Life"

Timmah, I really liked the choice of music. The transitions of photos was very nice and I felt it concentrated on the people we've lost very nicely. I thought also that the pipes at the end was a very nice touch. Overall, I feel this is really an excellent tribute. Thank you for caring enough to take the time to recognize these people. ~Ginna

Re: VIDEO #7..."In Celebration of Life"

WOW. I remember hearing that song on an episode of Miami Vice and thinking that was the best example ever of a song fitting a video scene. I now stand corrected. Thats been my one of my favorite driving songs for a long time. Thanks for giving me some new images to think of when I hear it.

Funny you mention that Tom...When I moved out to colorado in 1996, I packed up my 1991 Nissan Sentra and drove out from Oceanside, Ca. It started to rain as I left the costco parking lot, it did not stop until it turned to snow in Denver...
While driving thru Kingston, Az...my car started to get a bit Squirly and started to hydroplane. Well, I had all my CD's with me for my trip....but I only listened to (1) Song for about 2 hours...."BROTHERS IN ARMS" by Dire Straits. It kept me calm..and i was able to focus on the road...and get thru that really bad rain storm without incident. That song has always meant a lot to me personally, it was one of those songs that brought me peace and relaxation. As a matter of fact, I listen to it before I make a Pass down the track!

It just fit for this video. Thank you very much for the positive remarks and thanks for your help in making it a reality!

Tim

Time well spent Tim. I see what the other fellow said about the names being in the way of the cars. Possibly you could keep the image of the car on a little longer after the name fades out. But it's not a show stopper. The video clip at 4:52 thru 4:58 is awesome. It's a nice tribute and very classy and respectful. Godspeed to all.

Timmah,

Thank You.
I could say so much, but I think you know where my head's at right now. Tried to watch both versions, finest half hour I've spent in a while.

Re: VIDEO #7..."In Celebration of Life"

Another great job. Thank you. You could have done a video for each one of a few of those without trying too hard, just with the pics and video you went through. You did a great job putting everything together.
