I'm trying to mix the two in compelling ways. If you've been to Washington DC you know how difficult that is, coming home with all too traditional standard tourist 'snapshots'. As a tutorial, the main steps I used were: 1 - Made 11 extremely large (up to 110 megapixels) composite images, stitching them together with Windows Live Photo Gallery. I planned to make them as I shot the pictures in a tic-tac-toe or checkerboard sequence using my 7 megapixel Canon SD750 set at its widest angle. 2 - Used Pixelan's PanZoom PRO effects wizard to make custom effects that move around the large images, from the overviews to items of interest, and back to the overview. 3 - Used Movie Maker (MM2.1 and MM6, whichever was handy at the moment - the custom Pixelan effects work in either) to apply the custom effects to the large images. I made a one minute wmv video clip from each of the composite images. 4 - Made the full project in Movie Maker 2.1 in XP, mixing the 11 clips with other items such as my mini-DV camcorder clips. By making the one minute clips before the final project, I was able to split the large clips as needed to mix with other items. http://ts.vimeo.com.s3.amazonaws.com/177/772/17777238_200.jpg 200 150 5440142
