Yes, you can make a slideshow of pictures. Nothing wrong with that. BUT some people feel that, “we are so-o past that!” One way you can jazz up your slideshow is to mix some video clips with stills and add some narration.

What do you think of the mixture in my NYC video?

I use Windows Movie Maker and my headset. It plays the video/pictures while I talk. Very simple, and I wish I would have used it sooner. I’m less nervous doing narration then when I’m facing the camera. Have you ever done voice over for video or stills?
