I believe I may have enough video tools to edit and add video from your phone to add to your post. If anyone wants to try sharing a "video walk through" of some of your collection or an interesting item then please let me know. IP: Logged |

Thanks Polly! And thank you Scott for posting it! At some point, I'd like to make more videos of other pieces in my collection. When I do, I'll let you guys know. IP: Logged |

I shot that video with a simple iPod. My new iPhone 6S does even better video than that! It's very convenient. IP: Logged |

Videos can be made from a series of still photos. The example below is someones else's poor photos animated into a video. I added the titles and music. So if you have a series for photos you want to make a film of and add your own narration/music, we can do this. IP: Logged |

A small test ... I took a bunch of photos from ahwt's SSF Photo Gallery. Edited the music into a longer file. Another thing I tried is about 2.5 minutes in. I added a caption for the ribbon puller. IP: Logged |

This is a learning experience for me and most everyone at the SSF. So please make suggestions. For example, June's first two comments about the awht Photo Montage was she really liked it but it was too long and needed to be edited down. She then said get to work on doing the Great Faces video. My first rough draft which includes most of the 200+ faces; for about 7 seconds each; was about 20 minutes long. If there are members who would be interested in helping with lots of suggestions and creative suggestions/directions that would be most welcome. Perhaps this would be best done in a private forum?

The video did not seem that long to me because I could think about who we brought the item from, when we brought it, and the parties or occasions when we used it. For me the video was a friendly retreat into the past. For others the series of pictures should stand alone as the viewer will not have any memories of the items. It should have a storyline that produces some emotion in the viewer so that they look with anticipation for the next picture. The great faces thread could have laughter or maybe even fear as one of the hoped for results. There may be enough pictures to choose from so that each picture builds on last one or somehow connects with the last picture. Telling a good story seems to me to be the hardest thing in this life to do. IP: Logged |

So true! This is why we need many voices when preparing a good video. Great characters, great actors, great directors, great story boarding, great producing, great tech amounts to nothing without a good story and good writers. I'll count you as the first voice but we need a team...so who's next to join the team? IP: Logged |

This is a great idea, I enjoy seeing others collections and would love to share some of my items as well. I would hope that if you move this into a private forum that everyone would have access. I am not sure how I could help but I have enjoyed everything I have seen so far. It would be nice to have some videos that would be educational as well about a certain item or time period, etc. Roger IP: Logged |

The private forum would be to keep the creative back and forth (aka BlaBla) about video development out of the public view but once the video was finished we would share. Decades ago (before the first IBM PC) I was a TV Producer/Director/Production manager for the networks. Depending on the creative team it can require a lot of back & forth discussion before the production outline/storyboard comes together. Since the discussion will about making a video and not directly about the silver in the video it would most likely be best out of sight for those who are not actively participating in the creative process. And since many things have changed over the years for me and also I expect for most SSF volunteers it will be a totally new experience, this will result in much back and forth that is not exactly about silver.

What will come of this is not much if others don't participate. I've learned a couple of basic editing tools.... I was learning how to use a more advanced tool but I put this on hold because the creative/production support doesn't seem to be here. Perhaps I'm being my impatient self and everyone is away for Labor day/vacation? IP: Logged |

If any of the authors of the following will audio record the text in these slide presentations then I'll convert the slide presentation into a movie.

I would need to work out how to do it. My computer spends nearly all its time with the sound switched off and I don't know how to set up the microphone thingy. Also, looking at it, I think the text needs re-writing to catch up with later knowledge so yes, I'm prepared to give it a go, but it will need to wait until I can find a bit of time. IP: Logged |

Thanks. A microphone directly connected to your computer will most likely sound best. Polly used her phone to record the bell sounds so you may be able to do it with your phone as well. IP: Logged |

Although I love this idea, I'm a bit too microphone-shy to record a voice narration. IP: Logged |

FYI I just scanned a period of 4 hours of our logs to see if anyone was viewing the videos. We had video viewers from these locations:
Each of the above are unique computers. So in NJ we had 4 different unique users. IP: Logged |
