Please be gentle, I'm still learning. Thanks to alcain for the gilligan inspiration! I may tweak some more but thought it was pretty good to start.

Nice work...that was fun to watch. Especially enjoyed the Gilligans I. music and matching of the characters. Beautiful sunset shot. Will always be a fun trip to look back on.

Review and Critique

Postby alcain » Sat Jul 28, 2007 10:58 am

Tina, here are a few thoughts...

For your final cut, see if you can "jazz up" your title intro screen, it's easy to do and will look more "professional".
Great opening!
For the THUNDER effect, try this... Take the same lake scene and brighten it way up in a photo editor, or, find a lightening scene on the net. Put that picture right after the normal lake scene. Now copy BOTH of them in PSG. Next, paste right after the one you just inserted TWICE.. This will give you norm/light/norm/light/norm/light. Set the transition to CUT with zero time (for the cut) and the time for each to about .25 to .50 of a second except for the last slide, set it to 1 second. Then when you play the show, during the thunder scene - the illusion on your screen will be way cool to go with the sounds.
Looks like we both needed a "real live" professor :lol:
Second song fit nicely.
Looks like ya'll had way too much fun!
The two songs should crossfade instead of fading out Gilligan and entering the next song.
The ending kind of "just happened" I'd try to extend the time of that beautiful last slide by another two seconds, then crossfade into the last black slide for about 3 to 4 seconds to more gradually end the show. Maybe an (here I go, folks) ending caption...

Hey, no matter what I have pointed out, I LOVED the show! Great job. (But I am the Simon Cowell of the group, so I HAVE to be picky...)

Blessings, ~al

I enjoyed seeing this. You did real good with your first showing. Nice photos and superb choice for the music tracks. My thought - would be better if you smooth out the abrupt ending. Thanks for sharing.

Took advice

Postby TinaJ » Sat Jul 28, 2007 2:14 pm

and did some editing on my thunder pic, then added credits at the end. Can't add anything to the blank slide at the beginning because it's only 1 second in order to fit with the music. But it is infinitely better in my opinion. I've put it in my album and taken the other one out. Still can't get my background and title to stay if I leave and come back, and the only time I can set my title picture is when I ask it to create a dvd, at least so far!
