#46 Movie Maker Basics: You Oughta be in Pictures - or Making Them!

I loved this lesson post about making my own computer movies.
I certainly plan on playing with MovieMaker on my home computer to give a whole new life to photos of our garden, cats, and old wedding pictures.

I don't think I can post the video I've made called "Geek Fun" since it's made from wallpaper pictures on my work computer of copyright giants like Batman, Star Trek and such, and all to the music of the Vangelis song, "Pulstar."
But I had a tremendous amount of fun arranging the pictures in a particular order, inserting transitions between them, and adding selected special effects to particular ones.
So much fun in fact that I'll have to pick a stopping spot so that I don't keep playing with it endlessly, because now "what I really want to do is direct."
