My wife and I have been working on a video scrapbook for our son now
for about a year. The project originally started out as a movie of all
of our video clips but it was immediately apparent that this scope was
far too great. As time went by and as more and more full DV tapes
stacked up, we narrowed the scope to be just the first six months of
his life instead.
But even this seemed to be a Herculean task. Where were we going to
find the time to go through all of our tapes and catalog clips into
their subjects and time indexes? Add this to the time it takes to
transfer the footage to the PC, assimilate the clips in order, narrate
specific clips, add music, transitions, titles, make a DVD menu and
burn it to DVD and you can see that the time costs seem to far
outweigh the return.
But this value assessment is only half the story because I saw the
determined look in my wife's eyes as she sat at the PC the other night
putting the movie together after almost six months of not even
touching it....
