Video Montage

I thought I would share with you the video montage I worked on for the wedding. When I went back to KL in November last year to collect my wedding dress, I spent some time looking through plenty of photos, especially baby photos :)

Even for the first four or five years we were together, digital cameras were not available, so all of the photos were taken on film. Looking at the pictures, I cherish a lot of moments, not only with Grumpy, but with my family and friends.

We scanned the pictures, and I used iMovie on the Mac to create this video. It was kinda stressful, because on the eve of the wedding, it was only 80% completed. I was about to forgo the entire video thing at the reception, however, my BFF Little Miss-Drink-A-Lot came to the rescue. She helped me with the video, adding the music and converting it into a suitable format. And this was all completed on the wedding day itself. During the tea ceremony, she excused herself, and worked diligently at the hotel, outside our room.

The story does not end yet...

When we got to the reception, she found out the music from this video could not be played on the PA system. The DJ offered some substitute music. Little Miss-Drink-A-Lot said to me "Strawberry Fields" by the Beatles? I asked for something else. She asked for No Doubt, the DJ said nope. Oh gawd, finally they decided on "Here Comes The Sun", which is also by the Beatles. Obviously, the DJ was a Beatles fan. Thank gawddd it worked out well. I was very pleased with the video.

So here it is... but my version... and not the DJ's-who-happens-to-be-a-Beatles-fan.

These are the two songs I originally wanted, 'Underneath It All' by No Doubt (because I am a huge No Doubt fan, and not so much a huge Beatles fan), an acoustic version, and 'The Way I Am' by Ingrid Michaelson.
