Slideshows, DVD's and More


We live in the age of multimedia. Our lives are supplemented with wildly vivid imagery. Have you noticed the change in television studio sets since the introduction of High Definition? I took the picture above in ESPN's Digital Studio.

One of the best ways to showcase your digital images is with a slideshow. Now personally, I hate the word slideshow, but it is a word to which people relate (sometimes badly). When I was young, world travelers would come by the Elks Club with their travel photos and put on a slide show. "Here I am in front of the Eiffel Tower" was quickly followed by "My dog jumps in the Seine".

We've come a long way from simple slideshows. Here's a link to http://www.avincistudio.com/ where you can create a movie of your images in mere seconds. Just download the software and in minutes you'll see how great your images look in a full motion production.

What's more, if you'd like a couple of secret promo codes, I'll post those too if you ask.

I provided a sample above of a Wedding Production that was made in seconds using aVinci software. All you do is supply the images! Good luck.

Storytelling Tip


When you tell a story, it's useful to use images to "set the stage". For example, if you are on vacation, take lots of background and "ambiance" pictures. Because we all like to make connections, images placed closely to other images in either time or proximity will be automatically assumed to have some connection to each other. With the image above, you're creating the opportunity to tell a story about your vacation, a trip to Disneyland or even your ride on the Jungle Cruise.
