Having Fun With the Lewis Family Through a Camera Lens.

My equipment is the Canon Vixia HV30 High Definition video camera. I recently purchased a Canon T2i DSLR camera as well. Can you tell I'm a Canon fan? I'm currently editing on Adobe Premiere Pro 1.0 and also use Premiere Elements 7.0 so I can edit in HD. Most graphics and special effects are done in Adobe After Effects and PhotoShop.

The DSLR will not only shoot amazing photos, I will also be able to shoot 1080p high definition video. The big advantage will be the ability to use various lenses for what I'm shooting.

Jessica and Stephen's Photo Montage

I love to do Photo Montages because it gives me a chance to think creatively. I don't like simply taking photos and placing music under them as they scroll across your screen. I like to "bring them alive". That is, extract the subject(s) and make them 3-dimensional to the background (or vice versa). Sometimes I'll even animate them. It depends on what the photograph tells me. I study each one. Think about what the moment in time was all about and what may have happened just before or just after that single flash. A great photograph will give you that in a single frame. But our home photos just don't seem to have the same appeal. That's why I liven them up. That's why I like to do Photo Montages.

Here's one of Jessica and Stephen on their honeymoon. I'm guessing they didn't take a relative or friend on their honeymoon and therefore had a stranger take these few photos. Look at what happens when they are livened up just a little.

By all means leave a comment on what you think of this montage and photos in general. I love great photos too. And the older they are, the more interesting they become.
