Rest In Peace Uncle Roy
RIP: UNCLE ROY
It's not just another video slideshow
It's not just another video slideshow
It's about 3:17am in the morning now. I'm burning the midnight oil yet again. But this time, the oil burns more for personal reasons than business. My Uncle Roy passed away on July 1, 2010, and the family had requested that I create a video slideshow for funeral.
Creating video slideshows for me are rather easy for me. I don't use any fancy transitions or special effects. I keep it as simple as possible and let the pictures tell the story of that persons life. Slideshows though, are a pain in the ass to create. Yes, even the simple ones take time. Each picture needs to scanned into the computer individually, then each virtual pan on the picture has to customized to each shot...by hand. Funeral slideshows typically have 200 or so pictures, so it takes a few days of painstakingly boring work to create one.
I've created funeral slideshows before, but this one especially was rather difficult for me because I was creating it for a close relative of mine and not a client. With each picture that I inserted into the editor, I had to fight back bouts of sadness. I tell ya, it was probably the most difficult edit I had ever done.
Today is my Uncle's funeral. Wish me luck. After today, the mourning will be hopefully over and we (myself and my family) can move forward.
Take care everyone, and have a great Monday.

I was looking around for a future wedding and stumbled on your website and saw someone I knew. Your Uncle Ngai. Wow.....I'm sorry for your lost. I knew your Uncle from McKinley High School and also from the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. Again sorry for your lost and what a great slideshow of him.

It has been over a year and I happened to see this site. Mr. Ngai was my mechanical drawing teacher at McKinley High School. I took two years of that plus a year of architectural drafting class from him. While I chose not to go into either field, I did choose to be a DOE teacher and Mr. Ngai played a part in that decision. I still remember staying long hours to finish projects and hopping the fence over to the NBC whenever the science and engineering fair was going on. Thank goodness no one got lost or was hurt, the principal would have had a fit. I am sorry for such a great and overwhelming loss, one that you will never forget but will heal over time.
