400 pictures later

The 50th Anniversary DVD pictures are now ready for the DVD producer.

In the past 2 weeks, I have taken over 200 pictures, sorted through numerous photo albums, had another 200 pictures scanned and all 400 pictures were collaged over 100 composites.

All in all, I am pretty pleased with how it all turned out. All in all, I am totally sick of using Photoshop Elements. I can't imagine doing this for a living, and I could never convert over 100% to Digital scrapbooking. Yes, it was pretty fast, but churning out composite after composite became quite tedious.

Here is one of the composites - it will be the 2nd slide on the DVD - kind of an "introduction" before diving into pictures from the 1950's:


I have also been researching appropriate "background music" for the DVD. No small feat given the audience ranges from 20 year olds to 90 year olds. I am sticking to "work related" tunes. A really good song is Five O'Clock World by the Vogues, a hit back in 1965 - you can listen to it here:



Now to clean things up for a photobook - I need to trim down the number of pages - I want to use MPIX, but the maximum number of pages they can bind into a book is 50. But I am going to take a break from all of the Photoshopping and do my real job for a while!
