Idea + Mac + time = WOW!

I'm in shock. & awe. Py has made a movie. Just like that. Well, nearly just like that.
I mentioned camping for 3 days to help Py video his racing team. And he & sister Ar had time off school.
I lent him my Mac Powerbook lappy, with the native iLife suite: iMovie to load & edit the movie, iPhoto looks after photos, Garageband lets you add a soundtrack, iDVD puts the whole thing onto a DVD with groovy animated menus. He might have done a bit of P2P with Limewire, but we might skate past that! The Mac software works together so well, it's unbelieveable. Yes, I'm raving, but you will when you try it.
He put together a stunning production, about 15 mins from 2 1/2 hours of tape (about 37 Gb, BTW), in just a day.
Then a minor disaster: the external hard disc was disconnected, and the project file was corrupted. So he re-assembled the whole thing again.
Py is such an artist, & such an engineer; with equipment that works well, he's startling.
Some things about these times are just great. Easy to use creative equipment, & here I am writing to you in other countries through a Norwegian web site... let's keep the good bits
