Go Gently - In Loving Memory of a Hero

This was perhaps, the most emotional presentation I ever produced. My brother and I lost our dad on June 7, 2004. I used a great slideshow application call FotoMagico (for Mac) to arrange the pictures. The beautiful soundtrack was composed by Suzanne Ciani (sevwave.com) in memory of her father, Dr. A. Walter Ciani. The movie is very moving.

Remarkable tribute, I have seen many but this one has something different in the way that it looks like a movie. Although I've never met your father, I could "travel" & "see" his life, your life, your family.

I am sure he is very proud of you.

You should try to make movies, to my point of view you have an "eye".

Best regards

Thank you Beaub0.

When Suzanne first saw it three years ago, she cried. It really hit home. Both our father's fought the same war. Suzanne's song was a tribute to her father. While looking at my dad's pictures while making the slideshow, her song hit me hard. So fitting and beautiful.Thank you for your comment.

That was the last thing I thought about when I composed the slideshow. I wanted to honor my dad in such a unique way. It sure beats sticking pictures on an posterboard anytime. There were a lot of unusual happenings during the funeral. The breeze made the flags massage the casket as a sign of acceptance. There were large raindrops (my father's tears) that fell after the funeral while the sun was out. My brother was so deep in grief, he didn't notice those happenings.

Most moving video I have seen in a long time. Your dad is a true hero, I wish there were more people like this on earth today.

This is my favorite Suzanne Ciani song. I can't imagine it being used in a more appropriate and beautiful way than in this presentation. What an excellent job...you and your family should be very proud. I'm certain your father is.
