ok, here is my disclaimer: All the pictures came from Airliners.net

Now, that's out of the way, it would be remiss of me not to make a video using some of the sweet aircraft pictures that are out there on the web in a video.  I used Final Cut as well as Apple Motion to make this video. 
The first part of the video was actually my first Motion project.  I wanted to utilize some text and take advantage of some of the 3D capability of the Motion Software.  The last sequence was also done in Motion.  That part was a bit of a challenge, as not only did I move the camera to each individual picture, but I also had to rotate it.  
I didn't do this project for anyone--it was really just an experiment to get used to using Motion and integrating it into Final Cut.  I must say, the integration was seamless.
Thanks for taking the time to watch it.  Enjoy!!

East Africa Video Teaser

This is the latest project that I've been working on. I used Apple Motion for the project. This is a teaser for the DVD I am making Mr Ratzlaff from his trip to East Africa in the late 1960's. The DVD will probably be about 30 -45 minutes and will most likely include an interview and him narrating during portions of the video.
