Does anyone know any similar type stuff?

its like scratching nails across a blackboard, not like at all

ThOnda

Ewww, that is pretending to be something else. And big fail, in my opinion.

Yep sorry Keps can't say I'm a fan of it either. I'll usually skip the video if I come across one.

I think the most enjoyable photo slide shows are ones that you have a personal attachment to - a wedding of a relative, you newborn baby, a holiday set of snaps, or the results of a photo walk / workshop that you are taking part in perhaps, etc... But they aren't generally for the masses imho. Then you can add and play as much cheesy music that you can get your hands on and get away with it.

Too random and awful jerky transformations imo. Only really like time lapse and stop motion stuff when it comes to photo-videos.

i thought that was quite well done. some of the images were excellent and i liked the presentation. i cannot understand how anyone can describe the music to nails on a chalk board!

ThOnda

Music a bit too cheezy, but the nails on the board are those animations/transitions. Just wait for Borderfoxe's link to one of his slideshows, then you will understand.

Edit: We are talking about overall presentation, not about pictures. Presentation can completely destroy or degrade quality of the imagery itself. Not only in presentations, but also by means of framing, page layout and typography (not to mention watermarks).

what was wrong with the presentation? the images were very abstract, peculiar and futuristic. the music suited the presentation and the presetation suited the images. i'd like to see what everyone here calls a nice slide show.

ThOnda

Here is demo of one excellent product. Just wait for some links.

freddyhard

slower with uninteresting music. the subject content didn't appeal to me, so maybe i should wait for another link?

ThOnda

It seems that we are talking about different things. I give up.

first one - oh for the love of god no :eek: too many jerky transitions and titles flying about like midges round a lake. tbh itlooks like something someone did the first day they got editing software - you throw every effect your software has at it cause - well - they're there. we've all done it!!!!

but for me as a viewer it's painful to watch. with still images the simpler the better - the animoto ones are a lot better, although personally i'm not a fan of the whole ''split the image into 3.... and put it back together again'' thing. if i see a slideshow like that on a photograhy website i usually skip it. after doing a short documentary course recently with a tutor who lived in editing suites most of his career there's only 3 transitions i can tolerate now - fade in from black/white - fade/dissolve between - and fade out to black/white

1st one's like sitting on a busy bus beside someone with ADHD and the other is like a warm fart from Rachael Allen.

I don't know much about these montages but I am interested. Is there a middle ground? Or maybe not a middle ground as such but something that shows a number of pics but in a good way and (only maybe)with music?

Reminds me of powerpoint presentations with fancy transitions that distract from the content. Gimmicks amuse once and after that they're increasingly annoying. Seems these productions do more to market the gimmick provider than showcase the photos...

you are on about how the images are presentated? how they appear/disappear and the music to back it up. with your link the transitions and the images suited each other and wasn't badly done, but the music was pretentious. i certainly prefer the OPs link and i even had a look at the redbubble website - so it (gimmicks?) worked on me.

are you suggesting that she could pull a dutch oven?

I like simple slideshows like this, it gives me an idea of the person's photography, and I can then go check them out better.
