I got's me an idea...
I wanna build a Pond Slideshow. It's gonna feature all the ponds of Pond Boss. It will play with an appropriate background song. I'm hoping that I get so many feature pics that I'm gonna have to produce sequels to get them all on film.

I'm going to use a similar format as the cult blockbuster (link at bottom of page) that Bski Productions unleashed a couple of months ago. Except for the aerial shots at the beginning, each of those pics is on the screen for just under 5 seconds. I had to adjust exposure to match it up with the length of the song. More exposure time on the PB presentations will be in order. That's why I surely hope that there are plenty of pond presentations to make more sequels than the Rocky films. I also plan to dial back the genre of the music a bit; maybe a bit more country'ish. I am open for music ideas. Remember, tho, the tune has got be available out of your library and upload'able. I can tell you right now, I already have the first recording artist lined up for the first screenplay, but I'm gonna need ideas and pics for the sequels.

I've thought about this quite a bit. I want 2 shots of each pond. Your 2 best shots (of course). I will be adjusting all pics in the editing room to 640 wide (landscape shots, preferred) or 480 wide (portrait shots). I will also be adjusting image quality to keep the Kb size down. BOTTOM LINE: send me your pics in the largest, normal format that you already have them and I will take it from there. Also, send your Pond Boss forum name and name of the property (ie; Heybud's Lazy W) because I'm going to inscribe the I.D. into each photo so we know who's pond we are enjoying during the Slideshow. If you prefer to remain anonymous, just send the pic with a note to withold identification.
Send the pics to my brettski6969 at yahoo address (click on my name at the upper left of this post, view profile, and then my email address) Attach the pics with the I.D. info.

I'm keeping the pics off of this thread for a couple of reasons:

  • I expect that many of the pics will be very large and will booger up this thread page viewing format
  • I want to keep the stars of the Slideshow a secret until the premiere
  • I want to reserve this thread for ideas on music or any other twists in the plot

...here is my vision:

  • I'm going to post the Slideshow on my LNP website and provide a direct link here at the forum.
  • If the Mod's see fit, we will transfer the Slideshow(s) directly to the PB forum.
  • I will provide a disc to the Mod's so they can play these new PB Slideshows at the Pond Boss Conference.
  • I don't mind doing the work, but I sure would like forum participation in the form of pics. Production ideas are also very welcome.
  • Finally, if the Mod's see this venture as worthy, perhaps it should be Sticky'd to the top of one of the forum categories for awhile to see how it flies. I will keep you posted on progress. If it flops, we'll cash it in and go back to B&W silent movies.
