XPEL Conference Speaker 2011-09-13

I was honored to have been asked to speak at the 2011 International XPEL Conference. The topic was "How to Create Killer Photographs".

It is always my pleasure to show different industries how to create their own photographs that inspire their clients.

Summer's almost Gone 2011-07-31

Now that summer is winding down it is time to gather all those great photos and video you took on your vacation.  Yes, you should be taking video even if it with your little Canon PowerShot!  Today's software makes it very easy to edit your photos and video into a great movie you will watch over and over.  Here a few tips when creating your movie.  1.  Still frames should not be on the screen for more than 3 seconds.  2.  Video segments should be limited to 3-4 seconds unless they have a lot of impact.  The best way to cut your video is to take all your footage and slice it into the what intrigues you the most.  3.  Vary stills and video within the movie.  4.  You can also do some voice overs to "explain" some of the video footage.  Don't try to use the in camera mic.  The sound is always terrible.  Just adjust the background music when your voice over comes through.

Happy editing!
