Autumn Leaves
I wandered my back yard a week or two ago looking for fall pix and ended up with mostly colored leaves. I thought I'd plug them into the new Wizard in Proshow to see how it worked. Being the age I am, the music choice that immediately came to my head was Roger Williams' instrumental version of "Autumn Leaves". Searching iTunes for that, I came across a vocal version by one Eva Cassidy. I decided to use her version instead and this probably turned out to be more a showcase for her voice than my photos. Sadly, her voice was silenced by melanoma in 1996 at age 33.
About 5 minutes long and no objectionable material...

Re: Autumn Leaves
Hi Paul,
You have some wonderful photos, and did a good job of "taming" the wizard.
I loved the voice of Eva Cassidy and her version of Autumn Leaves. So sorry to hear that she's not with us anymore.
Nice work!

Re: Autumn Leaves
Paul - What a lovely, gentle show. The styles, speed, and music all just seemed to flow. What a perfect piece of music for your show.
Methinks you should wander your backyard more often with a camera in your hand.
Thanks for sharing.

Sherry and Ginger -
Thank you both for looking and commenting. Though I've had Gold for about a year and recently moved up to Producer, I haven't made too many shows. I think the addition of the Wizard will provide the impetus to do more. For me, it offers a better starting point than a blank slate.

Re: Autumn Leaves
An interesting blend of slow zooming and "modern" digital effects (I'm a bit of a traditionalist usually shunning pre-fab effects). This show might work well on a large flatscreen TV in a quiet corner of a wellness hotel... I didn't know this one of Eva Cassidy's songs, the more I listen the more I'm fascinated by her (I have used her song "True Colors" in one of my shows bearing the same name). Thanks for the extensive song-credit at the end. Hope you produce more!

Re: Autumn Leaves
Thanks for the kind words, Wolf. I know what you mean about being more and more fascinated by Eva Cassidy's vocals. One wonders what her popularity would have become had her life not been cut short. I wish I hadn't had to wait 14 years after her death to "discover" her.
