Okay, with all the CNY buzz I didn't have time to make a new video... So I uploaded one I made back in 2006. =P This video is a tribute to the 05-06 batch of Guitar Ensemble seniors who provided my 06-07 batch with direction.
MY EXPERIENCE MAKING THE VIDEO
1. I didn't have any live footage, sadly. The entire video consists only of photos. But thankfully so, because I think photos are a lot easier to time to the music, unlike videos which have fixed playing times. =P
2. But because there were only photos, there HAD to be music. Otherwise, it would be dead boring, just like watching a PowerPoint presentation. If there were videos, there would probably be dialogue or sounds in those videos, so I could do away with the music...
3. Timing the photos to the music was probably the trickiest part. Maybe it was because there was a shortcut I didn't know, but each time I altered the timing of a photo, I kinda had to manually alter the rest too, it got a little tedious after a while.
4. In general, I think Moviemaker is quite easy to use. But that's also because layman users like us only use a few basic functions, which are easy to manipulate. I've seen professionals use the very same software to come up with amazing videos, how on earth do they do that?!
