My first Anti War video attempt.
Please be kind... technically not a video, but a series of stills taken with my digital camera from the web... Set to a song by Richard and Linda Thompsom that had been haunting me for years, Sorry about the cut and paste url. WARNING: Graphic images!

Originally uploaded in quicktime, I have no idea what the sites download is... seems to be the original quicktime... sorry, i'm kinda new at this. maybe go to their home page and look under the taglines war- iraq- bush and then look for "withered and died". Hope that helps.

3. Photo Story 3
If you have Windows XP, you can use Photo Story 3 to make a video from Images.

Here are a couple of videos I made with Photo Story


Imagine

Asshole

5. I'm no expert but
it jerked a few tears from this tired old drunk. I think it does a good job of showing the real cost of war.

Thanks Kerry

6. Good for you
It's GREAT work, but, I think, might use a little polishing. It may be my computer feed, though. Roughly 60% of the way through, one of the images of Bush seemed blurrier than I think you intended. You may want to place the image of the dead eagle later in the video to strengthen the over-all impact of the image. The audio on my side was very "grainy." That may not be what you produced, it may simply be what my system supports.

Overall, I think it was very well thought out and presented.

Here's an idea, if you care to pursue it. While watching your video, I kept picturing a juxtaposition of images from Viet Nam and Iraq, with Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth" as the score.

"What a field day for the heat
a thousand people in the street
singing songs and carrying signs,
mostly say 'hurray' for our side...."
