Well done! I like the B&W portion of the video the best.

Very nice.
"Links" can be tricky. If you post in the Main section with a link, it will get moved to Links. If that link is posted later in the thread, it will probably be okay.

This is very good work! The music selection was ideal in setting the melancholy tone of the video and the image sequencing was spot on in my opinion (reminiscent of Ken Burns). The de-saturation to B&W sequences helped to amplify the forlorn feeling one gets when seeing the decline of rural towns and life. The concept and execution was very well done in my opinion!
In regard to the de-saturation, though, if you could achieve that seamlessly during the zooming, the effect would be much more dramatic. Alternatively, if your video software doesn’t do the conversion dynamically, doing the dissolve into the B&W before or after the zooming might be a solution.
Wonderful video!

I had to set back in My chair with My arms folded. Very nice work, loved the music. Sad though. I'll be 76 in Jan. Wish I had Your talent. Wonder how many memories were in that old house? Very sad. As far as Your work goes, IF IT NEEDS ANY IMPROVEMENT, I certainly wouldn't know. I guess "stanmac" said it all. I look forward to seeing more of Your work.

Very good video Tom, sad to see a town disappear off the face of the earth.

Thank you. I am still a rookie and will figure this out one of these days. May take this old guy a little time to figure it all out.

LOL Thank You. I may venture to Dearfield Colorado next. I understand a lot of history exists there.

Stan, Thank You for taking the time to give me feedback on my slideshow. It is very much appreciated. I am certainly not very skilled at this and used Mac Photos to do the edits and build the slideshow. I do know what you are telling me about zooming and the dissolve timing. I used to do some movies using GoPro and FLIP camera (remember those). I no longer have that software and will have to look into something new or look at using iMovie to build the slideshow. Thanks again for the advice.

Thank you, Walter. It is sad that small town America is going away. When I was a kid, spent summers with my cousin in a small town Graymont IL. No indoor plumbing. The town consisted of Barbershop, General store, Beauty shop, Feed store. My Uncle was the barber and knew everyone in town. That lifestyle was fun at the time but very few people will ever experience it.

Thank you, Earnest. So sad to see the "Mayberries" of America go away.
