Hi all,

If anyone is interested, I have put together a slideshow with highlights from the last year of my shots for the QFRS. You can find the executable slideshow at the following link:

http://www.firefighters.com.au/video/ffau05.exe

Warning about the size.. it's 26mb. when I get the time later down the track i'll divx it to make it a bit friendlier for DU users...

If you do have a look at it I'd appreciate some feedback

cheers

Mark - I've always had the greatest respect for what you guys do - that brings it home even harder. Professionally done, beautiful merges, and the music suits

Only thing I was wondering - the bike crash and a couple of the car crashes have the number plates still visible - I'm hoping they were not fatalities? It would be heart breaking for the families if they were, to come across this presentation, either accidentally or otherwise.

Other than that - BRAVO

Rel

thanks Rel....

and yes... both of those turned out the worst way... the number plates are blurred on my website... but totally forgot for the slideshow.... eeek... will have to fix that later on. thanks for the heads up

cheers

Wow mark, that was exceptional very motivational series of images put together nicely.

I really stuck for words at the moment but yeh brilliant work! especially the metallica song with the orhchestra love it!

I'm glad you liked it Michael.. thought you might

been a busy last 12 months hey

Each station in the bne region, and some sc regions will be receiving the full quality dvd... hope they like it too.

cheers

If there is one think I know about most fireys its that they LOVE seeing photos of themselves haha Im sure they'll love it.

I hope some of your images get on the QFRS site because it is in major need of some up to date photos!

Great work there. My only complain is that some of the more interesting shots dissappear (due to the transition effects) before I have had a chance to get a good look at them.

just an update....

i have just uploaded version 2 (same file name) which has been worked on a lot more... images synced with music.. less duplications... and better transitions for myarhidia.

if you look at the next version please give some feedback.

quality is a bit crap... but it's awesome on dvd which is it's intended format.

cheers

as much as I liked the first one, this is perfect!

thanks Michael... i appreciate it

Well done Mark. There is some seriously good PJ work here. Love the music also - it really suits the subject material.

I realise this is personal taste, but I find that there is a bit too much zooming, or that the zooming is a bit too quick. I guess that fits with the subject matter, but I guess I'd prefer to see a bit more of the photography and a little less of the ProShow Gold effects.

Other than this very small criticism, the presentation is very good indeed.

thanks trevor....

yeh.. the zooming is to coincide with the music.. the target audience of this dvd will be for recruiting... so i've gone for a fast and exhilirating transition rather than an appreciation for the photos....

my personal version has no transitions at all.. it's simply just a picture to picture for my own criticism

cheers

OK, I understand.
Should be very effective.

As a promotional aid and recruitment tool, I think you nailed it. Do you do any work for the QAS?

Brett

you may get some fire bugs applying

Brett.... don't do much with the qas.. only have a handful of para shots and some of rescue 500.

Mark , this a great show , good work.

Do you mind I f I give a copy of the exe to the rescue team at work?

Cheers

MATT

thanks Matt...

if you want i can post you the dvd ... much better quality then the small slideshow. ?

cheers

Thanks for the offer, but I'll show them you exe first , If they would like a dvd copy I will yell out.


Cheers

MATT
