Last weekend was a CHRISTENING BANANZA with FIVE (count 'em, FIVE) kids being baptised on my wife's side of the family. Being the only one with a video camera in attendance, I was immediately designated: 'The Video Guy'.
I was happy to take on the task, although just as the priest made the sign of the cross on each child's forehead, the most heart-breaking of all messages appeared on the screen:
FLAT BATTERY
Thankfully, someone was taking photos on the day, so I managed to combine the existing footage with a nice slideshow of photographs, and burned it all to DVD using 'PowerDirector' ( a free program), much to the families delight.
I added Powderfingers 'My Happiness' as a wav. file to the soundtrack to help bolster the slideshow - a cheap gimmick but it worked!
I am currently editing my parent's US trip as well as our fishing trip in November...and here and now I will solemnly swear: NO STAR WIPES!
