Making a picture slideshow for my girlfriend, i need ideas!?
Question by bill f: Making a picture slideshow for my girlfriend, i need ideas!?
Ok so i have always made something for my girlfriend for her birthday. And this year i want to make her a really nice collage of pictures of us to a song. Im not talking about just using power point, having the song play in the background, with really cheesy transitions. I want this to look professional, and i have the skill set to do it(I work at a TV station). I plan on using photoshop to edit most of the pictures, and Magix movie maker to do the video,(possibly some of it might be done on final cut pro)
Now here is where you guys come in! I know how to use all the tools to make this look awesome, but i need your guys help to give me the important stuff, THE CREATIVITY!!! The song i plan on using is by: Relient K, Must Have Done Something Right, and here is a link for it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejkkfntmU…
Here are some of the ideas i have:
1. First line of the song will be pictures of us in our jerseys
2. In the pre chorus(Lyrics:Im racking my brain for a new improved way) Im gonna start with a picture that looks like a sketch and every beat of the song the picture is gonna get more detailed until it gets to the chorus
3. I want some sort of text every once in a while that goes along with the lyrics or is the lyrics, but i really dont want it to look tacky or like karaoke.
Her birthday is a little over a month away so i have some time.
So if you have any suggestions on how i could improve my current ideas(Especially the lyrics one)
Or any new ideas
Or any ideas on pictures i could take with her thatd go good with the song(we take lots of pictures, so i should be able to take many more without her suspecting anything)
Or if you have a link to a video you made of your boyfriend or girlfriend (Or just know of one on youtube, but please dont say its yours if its not)
Best Answer goes to most useful idea, or best example. However i would appreciate everyones input even if it is just a little suggestion.
THANKS

The idea sounds good. Make sure ur girlfriend likes the song before you decide to use that one.
I know my fiance isn’t a fan of a lot of my music preferences hehehe.
Also how about incorporating some video footage? not just photographs. Maybe try making it to look like a music video 🙂
I had done a video once but i haven’t uploaded it to you tube maybe Ill do it this weekend…my youtube account name is Sylwia3D and so far i only have one video uploaded but ill try to upload more soon this is all i have right now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tdyn7p-3Oak
