I am once again editing a video montage of photos taken over the past year. It’s a fun project but time consuming and a bit stressful. Taking more than a 1,200 photos and whittling them down to 50 or 60 so they fit into a three minute song - while mindful to use only the best and most flattering pictures but also to include at least one shot of each person. I’m also trying to sequence them logically, politically and with the ebb, flow and crescendo of the music.
Did I mention I have a fulltime job? Am in the middle of training for a marathon? Have a wife and a 4 month old baby at home?
Yeah all true. But, it’s a great party and people seem to enjoy the photos. The big mystery is what song will I use this year…
“One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.”

Will you post the final video on your blog or on Hellgate's? I am going to miss Awards Night this year, but I very much want to see the product of your hard work.
Stop complaining!!! LOL I can't wait to see the montage. I hope to see the one photo of me since that is all that may be of me in 2007. See you on Saturday.

We seriously appreciate all your hard work Josh. Last year's montage was fabulous! I have the tune you have to use for next year's montage - you WILL be doing it again next year, right?!
I enjoy putting stuff like this together, too. It is time-consuming, though. Good luck.
Happy trails,
