Claygasm, that was a lovely montage - tender and bittersweet. You did a great job. You had a unified concept and you executed it beautifully with a gentle, consistent pacing. You should be very proud. Do any of the people in it belong to you? Since I haven’t heard AIW yet, I was THARILLLLED to hear MGUCL. GAH! ( I didn't think it came out til Tuesday, so I'm pretty confused why some people already have it.) Anyway, congratulations. Now you’re sunk, because montage making is addictive. I mean really. rcknrllmom, your daughter’s site is beautiful. And I’m jealous as hell that you have someplace to store all your montages. I’m looking forward to checking it out in the coming days. Off to bed. The round trip to Scranton did me in (if I can stop listening to MGUCL) Oh, and can someone PM me to let me know who the pod people are? Feel better Playbiller. ETA: Found the pop people answer. Thanks.

I use FireWorks as well. I was taught last year by the master, MsMia....another new member here. *waves to MsMia*. I just sent someone directions today on how to make a gif. PM if you want the directions...and you have FireWorks. I make gifs for people all the time, so if somebody doesn’t have FireWorks, don't be bashful to ask. They’re not that big a deal to make. Speaking as someone who just lost her hard drive last month, this makes me shudder. I did have some stuff stored on an external but not everything. I lost some of my original montage files...the working files with hundreds of individual elements. I can't even speak on it. I get nauseous just thinking about it. If you're still saving up for an external, maybe you could burn some stuff to DVD in the meantime...just so you don't end up ...gag...like I did. I am really looking forward to seeing your montage, Claygasm. I remember my first. *sigh* I want to go listen to GMA Emmanuel again. I thought it was rough this morning, but reading some comments this evening I think it deserves another listen or three. That gif is hysterical.

I’m new to the board. Just wanted to check in and say hey. I saw the GMA clip this morning. He sounded a little hoarse but sure looked pretty. I wonder if it would have been better to sing before the R&K show…the way he did at Tyra…. instead of after. Here is a clip c/o gerwhisp GMA (being a virgin here, I didn’t want to show up empty handed.) I missed the gabfest last night, but maybe I’ll catch the next one. It looked fun… like chat with pictures. I’m off to drive my daughter back to Univ. of Scranton. Great Banner!

Hey there. I just joined FCA today. I’m on another board with Couchtomato and she mentioned the montage contest and suggested I might want to submit something. At the time I was knee deep in making a montage for my husband’s surprise birthday party (had to convert fifty years of analog stuff into digital format…took forever…grrrrr). Couchie’s suggestion kept tickling the back of my brain though. So Tuesday night I decided to make something to submit for the contest. I’ve enjoyed watching all the wonderful montages that have been submitted. I love watching montages. Yeah, I know. You’re shocked. *g* I watched Clay on AI with my sister. We would chat on the phone about him every week. After the anomaly, my sister lost interest. Not I. I wallowed out there in the wilderness by myself for months. In the fall of ’03 I stumbled upon The Clack House. I lurked there for about fourteen months before they let me in. My first Clay concert was NAT in York, PA. Somebody gave me the tickets. (The serendipity of it all overwhelms me sometimes…because that night changed everything.) I wasn’t a member of any board, but through an admin at CH I got connected to some local people who were going to the concert, and met with them before the show. I really liked Clay a lot, had even seen some clack, but nothing could have prepared me for what I experienced that night. From the second I saw him, with my own eyes, come up onto the stage - I hovered between tears and dizziness. I thought my heart would beat out of my chest. I was completely overpowered by his presence and his voice. And I was in shock. I’ve seen some of the biggest names in rock history, but the most excited I have ever been at a concert was that moment in York Pennsylvania when Clay Aiken emerged from beneath those flickering steps. *sigh* I’m dreamlarge and I’m a Clay Aiken fan.
