Creative Roadblock on slideshow movies…
I’m working on some slideshow movies for x-mas presents and I realized that I’m tired of the same old thing I’ve seen over and over again.
I’ve done maybe a dozen of these and they’re all starting to look the same…fade ins…fade outs…fancy transitions…it’s all becoming too predictable.
Does anyone know of somebody doing something new and interesting with these? I’m searching for inspiration….
thanks,

How about the “Kids in the Picture” effect explained in Vol 3 #3 of my newsletters?

One of the things I do is to use the zoom transition. Start the pic out at the smallest size in the center of the screen with the first keyframe. Then at the end of the zoom resize the pic to fill the screen. Then in “pan and crop” you can rotate the pic several times (I even make it sync with the music). Your pic will seem to come from no where and be spinning as it is zoomed up. Might sound a little generic, but when sync’d to the music it looks kinda cool.
