I decided to do the Video Assignment 1447 for 5 stars.  This assignment gives you the task of making a music video.  I decided that I would make a music video in Memory of my Cousin, Grant that recently passed away.

The first step in constructing this project was very easy.  There is a song “Homesick” by Mercy Me that is so special to me.  I cannot listen to this song without crying.  It is such a touching song.

The next step was to create a folder in which I saved all of the photographs that I was going to use for the video.  I also added to this folder images gained from google images that were discovered under the search phrase “sayings for lost love ones.”  After collecting all of the artwork, I went into piZap and added text to the last photo that I used in the video.

I next opened Microsoft Live Movie Maker.  I added all of the photos and phrases into Movie Maker.  I arranged them in an order that I wanted them in and located phrases in areas that I wished to have them in.  I also added a title page that I wanted to fade away into the photo show. I then added the music that I had saved as a mp3 from Youtube by using the site video2mp3.net. Since the song is 3 mins 41 secs, I added and subtracted the display time on a few of the photographs so that I could make the video exactly the same time.

This is a very special video to me.  I know that no one in our class knows my cousin but I did my best in constructing this video to attempt to show you the incredible person that my cousin was.  He was so passionate about life and loving others.  He loved his sons more than life itself.  He is so missed by us all.  Grant this is for you…
