I live in NJ, but I love the southwest (especially Utah). This is my second video slideshow. As soon as I figured out that I could make DVDs, I mothballed my slide projector.
98% of this slideshow was taken with a Canon S3 IS, including the video clips. It's an excellent camera for this medium, and I recommend it highly (although its image quality might be a tad sub-par for very large prints). I used Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 & Premiere Elements 2 to put everything together. Super software! (Soundtrack: Narada Collection 4 & 5).
The entire show is about 15 minutes long, so broke it up into 3 segments, plus an additional bonus video:
Part 1: Phoenix, AZ - White Sands, NM
Part 2: Santa Fe, NM - Hovenweep, UT
Part 3: Arches, UT - Phoenix, AZ.
Bonus Video: Time Lapse sequences.
I hope my video slide show inspires others as I have been inspired by others. Enjoy!
Glad you liked it. I have a Canon S3IS, which has an "intervalometer" that allows me to take one picture every minute. (Note: Canon dropped that feature from the new models.) Then I set it up on a tripod and let it run for a while.
As for putting them together into a time-lapse video, I use Adobe Premiere Elements. Each picture is displayed for about 10 frames (about 3 pictures per second), and I use a simple cross-fade between them to smooth it out.
