[QUOTE="HereWeGoAgain, post: 72787, member: 3485"] The DVD was a hit at the party. It ran 32 minutes. I had to leave out a lot to get it that short but I think the finished product was just about the right length. My parents were thrilled. I made a slightly longer version than the one we showed at the party for their private use. Stayed up most of the night before we left putting the finishing touches on the soundtrack and burning copies. I did make a website too and it was even a bigger hit. I wrote the story of their 50 years together. It ran to somewhere between a short story and novella in length: 17,500 words, maybe 40 to 50 pages in a typical paperback. Too long, I thought, but many friends and family have read it and no one seems to mind. They have had a pretty interesting life, so I can't take much credit. My Dad was so disgusted with working for a certain big corporation back in 1959 that they decided to quit and head for California, even though Mom was six months pregnant with me. They would be appalled if I did anything so irresponsible. [/QUOTE]
