Playing with iMovie slideshow

In September of 2009 my niece, Addison, was diagnosed with Biliary Atresia- this is when a baby's liver is underdeveloped and does not function properly. In late September, Addy underwent a corrective surgery at Maine Medical Center in Portland, but it was unsuccessful. She was put on the waiting list in October, and finding no success with a cadaveric donation, I donated a part of my liver as a live donor in January of 2010. She is now a 15 months old healthy little girl...

With inspiration from my CMJ 351 course, I played around with different slide show softwares, and created a couple versions of this slide show. I like this one the best- I used the iMovie software that came on my macbook.

Everyone knows the chorus to "Here Comes the Sun" by the Beatles, but I think that the three verses sum up Addy's story best:

"Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right"

"Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right"

"Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
It's all right"

Enjoy!!
