About: at the end of may, i ventured to the midwest to attend on old friend's wedding. on the way back to new york city, i stopped by my parent's home in beavercreek. for three days, we chatted, told stories, and reviewed old photographs. in the evening of the last day, i asked my parents to sit down for a interview. this segment contains seven minutes of an hour long interview.
the photos that bookend this segment were rescued from my paternal grandfather's house. starting with rare photograps of my great-grandmother, the intro primarily contains images from my father's side of the family. the ending photo montage contains photos of me primarily shot from my father.
That was very cute. Just the built in Microphone? The audio was wicked low, but when I bumped it through external speakers it was clear. So in your video editing (iMovie?) separate out the audio channel, bump it up, and then things will be clearer.
SiD, thanks for your comment. this was this the last time i used imove and i'm now using final cut HD express.
your parents are great: my mother said the same thing about my father when they met - he was in his airforce uniform, he drove a sports car, and she said "I thought he was rich..turns out I was wrong"..
