For a while I have wanted to put together a compilation of some of my favorite Southwest photographs into something that is more than a normal slide show. There is a way to do this through Apple's imovie program. I knew what music I wanted to use, but didn't really know how to get around the copyright issue. I listened to a lot of music that provides, for a fee, a license that would allow the project to be published without copyright issues. However, I had my heart set on the work of a particular artist-I just couldn't find anything else that I was completely happy with.
I was thinking about this last night as I was reading my ipPad in bed after wasting literally hours listening to music available for license. (A lot of it is really good, but it wasn't exactly what I wanted). Finally, I just used the the iPad to go on the internet and found the company that handles licensing for my artist. I then wrote an email, describing what I wanted to do, the pictures, etc. This morning I received my reply. They are planning to grant the license, and waive any fee! There are a few hoops I need to jump through, but that part looks easy to me. I should be able to post it on You Tube, and am hoping that, once Hank has seen the waiver, I can post a link here, and perhaps on Facebook. There is still a lot to do before I have a finished project, but I am really encouraged to know I can get a license for the music I want.
If I still remember how to do it, I will try to attach a picture of someone who showed up behind me while I was starring off at the mountains. I don't know which of us was more surprised to see the other. But I do think I saw her before she saw me. (Because she was moving and I was still).
