video screen shot

Music Video
These days music videos are getting very easy to make. Anyone with Windows Xp on their computer will find a little program which comes with it called Windows Movie Maker and it's perfect for starting to make music videos. However, the video below was created using iMovie which comes free with a Mac.

Slideshow
The video is in fact just a simple slideshow with the music playing in the background, so no expensive camcorders were needed.
