Do you have any recommendations for something to try in 09?
During our series "Feel Good Christmas" we've created videos each. Videos giving people ideas and examples of how to create feel good moments for yourself, your family, and those around you. Here's a few of them.
When editing a video it seems that finding the right music to accompany the visual can often times be the hardest part. You have to find something that's engaging and helps tell the story in the appropriate mood and style.
In my experience there seems to be a very small amount of options for any given video, thus explaining the lengthy search for the right track. It's even tougher if you don't have access to large, professional music libraries.
Today my search got a lot easier with the purchase of "Pro Scores" Cinematic Music Design Tools from VideoCopilot.net.
It will be arriving early next week with a very large project waiting for it to help make awesome. If you've read this I'm sure you'll know it when you hear it being used.
This picture is of Jenny and I in Central Park in New York. We had such a great time. I'll be sharing more pictures later this week of the rest of our trip.

We've added text polling to our services during the Random Questions message series. Have you participated? We've incorporated the featured tools from polleverywhere.com. People can vote on question polls and even submit their own random questions.
I think it's gone really well so far and I think people have enjoyed the new dimension of involvement in services. Not to mention it's really fun to watch the poll results update live on screen after you've voted.
They've been using polleverywhere in TVM youth services too for their series "TXT". I know they've had great results so far too.
Have you liked the text polling? Take the poll below.
