My first vid!

I created this vid for crimeland. It's a wee bit depressing, but it's something I didn't think I could do. :)

Hey, welcome to the vidding world! As this is your first video, not bad at all! I don't know the source unfortunately, but the scenes you chose are really touching and fit to the song, which is nice. I have some suggestions, if you don't mind, for your future vids.:)

First, avoid to use too long scenes, it could be boring for the viewer. Second, using scenes where people are talking for a long time and you don't know, what they are talking about, can be disturbing more or less. So use the so-called "talking heads" as little as possible.

I'm really looking forward to your next video.:)

thank you! I really appreciate the advice, too. I think I will do it again as it really was a lot of fun. :)

Aww, very sad! But nicely done.

What software are you using? I'm hoping to make a vid sometime in the next few months, and I have a decent-sounding package on order, but I know some folks are happy in Windows MovieMaker and some hate it, so I'm curious what folks use ....

I used the Windows Live Movie Maker that came with my lap top. It doesn't have a ton of bells and whistles (or at least if it does, I didn't figure them out), but it was really easy to work with for a rank amateur like me. :)
