Check out this local news report of a balloon crash in Rio Rancho with some pretty graphic video. This balloon was taking part in the Balloon Fiesta this week. Overall, I believe the safety record of the Balloon Fiesta is pretty good but these crashes highlight just how little control the balloon pilots have compared to a plane.

Here I present to you a approximately 3 minute video made with some photos I took at South Mountain Park in Phoenix last week. It is a shortened version, with some of the personal photos removed.

I have been using Still Life for this sort of thing but have found Photo To Movie superior. Especially since it allowed me to export a dv file in the 16:9 aspect ration (which is how all my movies are since iMovie HD came out). I also really liked the quality of the titles and are looking for a way to duplicate them in iMovie when doing regular movies.

This movie is a MP4 encoded with H.264, which allowed a decent quality movie that has a 869 x 480 resolution but only be 7.1 MB in size. But you will need the latest and greatest version of Quicktime to view it.

Here's some video I captured while Skiing in Santa Fe. Turns out, it's not so easy to ski and film. Most of the video was too shaky to use. In any case I will keep trying. Let me know what you think. 9.9MB Quicktime Video, 5:26 minutes, 240x128 (in widescreen).

Note: I may re-upload a larger MP4 depending on how well I can get the quality and size.

"An aspiring politician and video game designer who faked his own beheading by Iraqi militants set off a short-lived media frenzy Saturday after media around the world began showing his homemade video of the gruesome hoax." A hoax of him being beheaded by terrorists. So what do you think, is this a big deal or not?

[Update:] Just wanted to say, hey man, put your shirt on if your going to be interviewed by a newspaper.

Here's a video I made of our trip to Vegas in 2003. Not exactly Hollywood quality, it was really more of practice. But I know there are some that would want to see. The video is a combo of photos and video I shot while there. Put to the only music that's appropriate.

Since getting a DV camera last year I now have quite a few DV tapes and I'm not exactly sure what is on them. I'm looking for a program to organize and catalog the video from the tapes. I will be trying out a few and posting my review on my webstie. If you have a suggestion for your favorite program please let me know.

[Update:] I have a list of 6 programs so far. They are: iDive, iView MediaPro, iVideo, Movie Archive, FootTrack & CatDV Pro. If there is one I'm missing let me know.

This is a movie I made with photos that I got from my Mom. I believe they were all taken around the 1950's. They show my Grandfather, Grandmother, Mom and uncles. There's some other people in there but I'm not quite sure who they all are. Though once my Mom sees this I'm sure she will tell me.

This was really just an experiment to get a hang of using Still Life. But I was pretty impressed with the results. I did very little editing of the pictures except cropping them and adjusting the levels. Even when converted to a movie some of them obvisouly need more cleaning up, that's still a bit over my head

The Music is Memories by Elvis. The movie is in MP4 format (quicktime recommended), 8.2 MB in size, 320 x 240.
