My 2009 Video is now up. It contains around 85 or so people (at least 25 more than last year) so the pictures go by a little bit quicker and because of that I only put up names and not descriptions (with a few exceptions). I also put up the names as annotations and I liked how it turned out a lot.

Check it out when you have the chance.

I noticed you left out Stephen Gately and Bobby Robson. But as you are american, you may not know them.

Please do one this year. Not only because Michael Jackson is on it. But also because it's the last one this decade. You even said at the end "See You in 2009". If you want, I'll ask someone I know to make one for you, so that you can download it and just upload it from there.

If you want to make one yourself, go right ahead.

I just saw it preaty good, have you had a chance to see mine???

[TheUncleHammer]

Has anyone seen my 2009 video yet

[rlt152]

I am almost finished work on my 2009 Video (just need to add anyone noteworthy who dies in the next week or so), even though I didn't have a Personal Death this Year I did have a Semi-Personal Death this year (a Facebook friend of mine) so I put her in at the end, I also gave an Honorable Mention to Michael Scott Speicher since even though he died almost 19 Years Ago on the first night of "Operation Desert Storm" his remains were found and indetified this past August-should be up in a week or so

[buc555]

cool let me know when it is up.

[rlt152]

Too Bad we'll miss it :(

Although I though that your idea of using Annotations for the names was really cool that I am planning on using that for my Video this year so at least that will live on :)

Sorry man I'm not doing one this year. Been too busy.
