Thanks for all your compliments on the Jab We Met video!
I'm getting quite a few questions from friends on how I made that video, so I decided to detail the steps below -
Step 1: Prepared a rough storyboard on paper ... Selected all songs for each stage of the story ... A lot of back and forth through email with my sister, Masha, to pick the best ones ...
Step 2: Masha used Photoshop to create the "Bright Lotus" logo and the "Jab We Met" poster at the beginning of the video ...
Step 3: Went to youtube and downloaded all the songs in mp3 format onto my hard drive ... Used www.listentoyoutube.com for that, but there are plenty more options out there ...
Step 4: Opened Powerpoint 2010, and started a deck ... Gathered all the relevant photos together from our photo albums and some from the net ... Powerpoint has a decent Remove Background feature that I used a lot to get the enlarged head effect ...
Step 5: Clipped and combined all the clips using Audacity, a free audio editing software ...
Step 6: Synched the picture animations with the audio ...
Step 7: Converted the powerpoint presentation to Flash (swf format) using iSpring, another free software ... Uploaded finished product to the website!
Whole thing took about 4 days to make, from beginning to end ... Thoroughly enjoyed the whole process!
