Hi Folks;

So I've been putting in some time with the ol' computer machine, and I must say that Windows Movie Maker for Windows Vista is, from my own perspective as a novice editor and first time user, simply amazing and fairly intuitive.

I was rather impressed by the capacity of Microsoft's latest (for me anyhow) video producing software. Windows Movie Maker provides a host of effects and functions... my point being is that I found it fairly painless to throw together a decently interesting slide show with some improvisational effects via Microsoft Paint and other programs.

The music video is nearing completion, and destined to be a hit...my only concern now is the actual transference of sound into data with as little qualitative degradation as possible. I think I'll keep it down to a simple live take and maybe ping-pong harmonica and tambourine tracks before mastering it.

I'm minimizing the amount of equipment being used, as I hope for the song itself to come through. Is the slideshow well suited? I'll soon see. With any luck, it should be finished and available by eight o'clock.

That being said, I've been running into some software difficulties lately... Freeware is the culprit in this case, and I've been recently noticing quirky changes to the operating system. Obviously I'm no expert in this arena... modern PCs are so virtually vast now-a-days with the World Wide Web and all.

Anyway, prior to the release of my new slideshow music video, I thought that I'd grease the wheels a bit and upload a simple '.wav' file by the name of Yuletide Jenga. It's now freely available in my ISP account's humble DOMAIN.

The rock band I play in is called 'Moremore ENOUGH', I should admit that the title was inspired by the group Hot Hot Heat - EDMONTON BASED?
