thanks to everybody for your positive reactions to my video! Y'all made my day, week and month, all at the same time!

This was actually the 3rd video I made... The first was modelled after the videos made by Dan and JoAnne (which I really like)

Unfortunately, the subject of my video wasn't nearly as photogenic as the one in JoAnnes, nor as verbally eloquent as the one in Dan's. No matter how many takes I took, I stumbled over simple lines, and the lights reflected off my glasses; and because it was recorded in multiple takes, the audio from scene to scene varied wildly. What worked well for them didn't work for me.

Then I tried Don Gaynor's inventive approach of combining screen shots and original music... but I don't have screen capture software, so the hand-held video of the screen made me sea-sick. Plus, I didn't have any original music that was as cool as Don's. So I abandoned that approach too.

Just before retiring I bought a bunch of software to learn, and some of it was for making animations. By the time I had trashed two complete testimonial videos, I was desperate enough to bite the bullet and commit to trying something new... and this was the result.


Again, thanks for the kind words... especially to Dr. Gannon, for adding his personal note! Thanks to YOU Dr. Gannon, for creating a product that has added such enjoyment to our lives!
