US History - 6 min

[thabigm2142]

well i think it's kinda dump, just throwing in pictures without giving any context, but nice work though.

[pgfracing]

It would be nice of this video had narration for each photo with some explanation of those trying to learn about history.

[Nedyah74]

nice putting CCR into there.

The '90s era should be expanded: Oprah, Nirvana, Hurricane Andrew, Garth Brooks, cassette tapes, Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump (my favorite movie of all-time), Cindy Crawford, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Muhammad Ali at the Atlanta Olympics, the LA earthquake in '94 and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

US HISTORY is nothing!!! only 300 yearsssss hahahahahh unlike we china!!! which has 5000 years of culture and history!!!! NO MATTER HOW GOOD AMERICA IS THERE IS NO WAY IT CAN REPLACE CHINA AND ITS HISTORY

Have you thought about updating this (putting in pictures of Barack Obama and the events of 2007-2010)?

@HTownCountryFan

No I haven't thought about it, but it's a good idea. It'll be several months before I can get to it, but I think I might just do that. Thanks for the input.

@Robebaba add illegal wars in there too, that would just about do it ;)

[nikosgiouv]

my life's history meeds more than 6 min...imagine who are they!i am sure that the real american's history (indians,mayas etc) worth more and more than 6 min for sure! :) greece4ever!

[cultofmao]

What a crock of shit! what about about all those native Americans who died and slavery the suffering this is just pretty pictures.

[movemakerr]

I thing that these 6 minutes are too many for the short U.S.A. history:D

[Sparksomeart]

ah now this! was fantastic!

[jimanddim]

Brilliantly flashing images were very effective, Thank you.

[HTownCountryFan]

Actually, I was a number off. What does the anatomy picture that appears before Dr. Spock represent? The dangers of smoking?

[Robebaba]

I'm not sure why I included it now. It was in my broad category of "Culture", but I think it had something to do with advances in medicine. Alzheimers must be kicking in.

[HTownCountryFan]

What does the photo at 5:15 represent?

[Robebaba]

I'm not sure to which photo you refer, so at about 5:15 are pictures of: Dr. Benjamin Spock with kids, American POWs after their release from Vietnam, playwrite Neil Simon, a picture from "The Godfather" movie, and the model "Twiggy".

What band played that song starting at 2:25 it is awesome please help me if you can please... great video it is amazing....

[Robebaba]

Glenn Miller's orchestra had the most popular version. I found the track on an American Music CD and it might be Miller's version.

[lachlanpudduh]

dude great video. i wasn't crazy about some of the music and the images were a bit fast. but that said very well done.

[Robebaba]

Hope you liked it. My step-son performed the first two pieces of music and the last one is a little old, but fit for the time period when it begins (and fits the timing of the picture changes).

[lachlanpudduh]

oh my gosh. i'm sorry. now i feel like a jerk. actually i liked the music what i meant was for this video i didn't think it worked.

[jesupia]

Six Stars.

[HTownCountryFan]

AMAZING....Where'd you find all these pics?

[Robebaba]

I found them all on the internet, downloaded them and sized them for MS Moviemaker. It took about a month to think of the categories, save and resize them, and make the movie.

[HTownCountryFan]

I bet. I like how you put the Astrodome in there (I'm a Houston native), but what event is that at 5:12?

[kawpictures]

good : D

[Dannyboy8155]

Should've emphasized the negatives more when they occurred, but for the most part great video. Provides a good perspective on how and why things came about in this country.

[HTownCountryFan]

Move those anti-Bush protesters to about 5:57, because everyone was for the Persian Gulf War.
