A Phoenix Lament by The Ministry of Magic (a music video)

Here's a video (with Deathly Hallows clips!!!) set to The Ministry of Magic's song "A Phoenix Lament." Quite easily my favorite MoM song of all time!

I wasn't originally planning on having the entire video be in black and white. The original intention was to have the black and white clips be of the people who had died throughout the series. After watching a couple of times I decided to make the whole thing be black and white. I think it fits a little better with the sadness of the song. I hope you like it! :)

P.S.: I don't know if it bugs anyone else other than me, but I still haven't figured out how to get the widescreen shots in fullscreen. Would anyone who does have such wonderful knowledge be willing to share? Particularly anyone who has this knowledge for a Mac user who edits with iMovie HD? Thanks. :)

First wrock music video with DH footage! Katherine wins! I was thinking about putting in a clip in the video I'm working on but I'm so slow at this.

I've been using Any Video Converter to crop horizontally the 1.95:1 HP DVD rips to 1.77:1 to fit the Movie Maker aspect ratio, but the DH trailer is like 2.55:1 which is freakin insane. But yeah, the only way to expand it to fullscreen without messing up the proportions is to crop horizontally.

@chinareds54 I downloaded Any Video Converter once before and tried that. :( Maybe I used a bad version of it or something. I'll attempt again though! Thank you for the advice!

And thanks for the awesome comment! It took me about 6 hours, but it was completely worth it! I haven't been able to stop listening to the song for 2 days, which helped in the editing process tremendously! :D
