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…. Here’s the video

Here’s a video I made for my good friends over at Tough Women Only. I used the inspirational quote from their website as the outline for the video and then used their pictures to tell that story. Back it up with an inspirational song and we have ourselves a cool video.
