Learning How to Use Windows Movie Maker

Last week, I decided to try my hand at learning to use Windows Movie Maker. Making a video slideshow as a backdrop for my song "Lovers In Love' was my goal. Surprisingly, at least I surprised myself, this slideshow has turned out to be quite complimentary to the music. I was attempting to make something beautiful that would accentuate the quality of the music, but leave the listener free to interpret the images as they wished. Of course, my photo choices are all subjective; I picked what I liked, but I think most people will like these pictures, too. All of the photographers graciously allowed use of their photos from the website www.sxc.hu . These photographers are located from all parts of the world, which makes them even more special to me, because love is something experienced worldwide on our little blue planet. This makes my little love song seem like more of a universal story than just an American tale to me.  

I am in the final stages of putting this thing together. I'll post the YouTube link when I put the slideshow up, either today or tomorrow. If you go watch, be sure to leave a comment either on youtube or here as a Blog comment.

Happy trails,

Mab
