My first attempt at using iMovieHD

So this was an interesting first try. All of the pictures I used here are my own photography, taken of my mini Koi pond back at home in California. Their names are Pants, Oreo, Dash, Blackie, Alana, and 'The Gang'. Yes. I name my fish.
The first step was learning how to use the Ken Burns effect. A basic trial and error procedure. I was entertained by how it gave my photographs motion, and it was especially cool with the motion that was already in the pictures. But I also wondered about the integrity of my pictures, were they not meant to be stills? Is adding more motion to them what I want? Hm. Still undecided.
I wish I had had the skills to line up the effects more properly with the music, 'Fish Are Jumping' but perhaps that will be the next step in this little films progression.
