A well-built sniper rifle is a beautiful thing. Ours has two zoom modes, "Up close and personal" and "Hello, you're dead

Gys, I really appreciate your comments, and thanks for your contuned interest.

CC, I'm using a program called Pinnicle Studio 12, it was the most recommended "budget" Photo/ Movie Editing programs and our local PC World had the Softwae on special offer.

It took me a few goes to get used to the controls and interface, but now I've got the hang of it I love it. It's rock solid in terms of format reliability and the movie quality is amazing considering the file sizes. This movie was a mere 200Mb if it would have been Movie Maker it would have been 7 or 800Mb's and the quality would heve been nowhere near as good.

Another feature of the program is Chroma Key...it's a blue screen function that allows me to create the moving effects. I loved the intro effect, which I created sing the Zoom effect. I set the zoom to move the background image slowly from right to left, I then added 2 images of buildings with a  faster sideways zoom.

Expct more of the same with Chapter 2...

J trooper, those are very kind words and it means a lot coming from you.

Hopefully you won't be dissappointed with the next Chapter....

I love how you have been able to incorporate those moving elements into your video version of this. I do believe that your skills know no limits, my friend. Yes, I do anxiously await your next installment.
