The Children of the Mangroves Slideshow

LUND--I made the slideshow in IPhoto and exported it to IDVD on a 15 inch MacBook Pro. The music I taped with a video camera (Panasonic DVC60 and a Røde shotgun mike) and imported to IMovie, stripped out the audio file and set the slideshow to it. The material is composed of stills I took on several different trips to El Espino, El Salvador, taken with a Nikon D1x and various lenses, a Leica M6ttl with a 50mm Summicron, a Leica Mda with a 15mm Voigtlander Super Wide Heliar (Ilford HP5 and Kodak 400CN films) and a Leica C-Lux. The piece is a both a preliminary exploration of the material and partial structure as well as a short, stand-alone film that will eventually be included as a DVD extra with the feature-length movie.
