So here’s a cool little video slideshow I made to recap the year for the non-profit group Tough Women Only, an organization’s with a mission to unite, empower, and inspire women.

This was another new learning experience for me as I had never used these effects and techniques before. The last slideshow I made was a bit more plain-looking as it was on a flat black background. I also didn’t scale those pictures up to fill the entire frame. The main transition I used on that last slideshow was the cross – dissolve. This time I around, I placed the pictures in order on the timeline, scaled them up really big and added a gaussian blur. Then on another layer I added the same pictures again and used keyframes to make them scale up from a much smaller size than the frame. I also used keyframes to mess with the rotation. I also used the Basic 3D effect to add swivel and tilt keyframes to the pictures. Lastly, I used the slide transition which was pretty cool because it allows you to mix up the directions in which the next slide appears into the frame. Basically, I wanted there to be a lot of movement in this video. I used a song called “Morning Chill” by Adi Levi which I thought really captured the mood of the video. Anyways, without further ado….
