How to Organize a Photo Montage for a Class Reunion - Part 2 of 2

Gearing up for a class reunion? Whether this is your 5th reunion or your 50th

, everyone appreciates a photo montage to reminisce about days gone by. In this article, we'll look at how to pull your slide show all together in the perfect balance.Part 2: Pulling It All TogetherStriking a balance is key in any photo slide show. It's wise to include a combination with variety - with images that are funny, sweet, cute, romantic, happy, etc., and featuring a variety of people as well (nobody appreciates when half of the images include the reunion planner.)This should go without saying, but it's still worth mentioning: use discretion when selecting photos for the class reunion slide show. In other words, keep it pretty clean. Certainly, you'll want to include some funny or embarrassing photos that feature a mouthful of food, big crazy hair, or clothing that is now totally out of style, but some images are just not appropriate at all. Photos to leave out would include anything with nudity, obscene gestures, drugs, etc. Likewise, images that include anything that would be downright hurtful are never welcome or appropriate at a class reunion.Once you've selected all the images you plan to use, the next step is to choose music. Figure about 12 slides per minute of music (1 second each for fading in and fading out of each image, and about 3 seconds of viewing time per image), and this should give you an idea of how many songs you'll need.When it's time to pull it all together, you can use a service like www.animoto.com or www.photoshow.com or you can simply use software on your computer such as iMovie for the Mac or PowerPoint for the PC. Once it's all complete, burn it to CD or DVD (make a couple of copies) and test it in a DVD player or on another computer, just to be sure everything is working.In most cases, it's best to either let the slideshow run all throughout the event (if your slideshow has no music attached to it -- just let the DJ or band play on) or choose a time mid-event to gather everyone and show the slideshow. You might be tempted to wait until the end of the eventing, but some folks will miss out if they have to leave early.You can either use a DVD or hook up a laptop to your rental projector to display your slide show at the appropriate time. Be sure to test your rental projector to ensure that you know how to operate it in the smoothest manner possible.Good luck with your reunion and have a blast!
