The Family, Inc.

There's another group of people in my life that mean a lot to me. We are a close group of friends... so close that we call ourselves The Family. These people have truly made my collegiate experience enjoyable. Members of The Family attend FAMU, UF, and FSU but we don't let our schools divide our bond. My friends have sparked spontaneity, enthusiasm, thrill, zest, and pure energy with non-stop comedy into my life. To The Family, this post is dedicated to you! We have struggled together and it has made us stronger.

I made this montage on One True Media. My professor recommended it on her blog. It's a great site!

Hope you enjoy the show!

Melanie,
I loved your video. The song was perfect for the transitions you chose. I've had limited exposure to onetruemedia, so I didn't realize there were so many cool features. The school bus and the closing curtains at the end really stood out. What a loving tribute to some of the people who play significant roles in your journey.

Thanks Chastity! Ironically, I chose the song after I created all the transitions. It was just a random song selection that I thought sounded good. lol. When I looked at the video for the third time, I was amazed at how it correlated:)

OH DARLING!!! I tried to exhibit professionalism but I can no longer hold back...::insert old money accent:: That is by far one of the most touching presentations I have seen in ages. The Family, Inc. is truly an institution that has played a major role in my personal sanity and we are the definition of support! Whether it is support of personal endeavors or academic achievement, I know my family will be right there in the crowd doing what they do best, and not caring who is looking! The Family is beyond amazing and what God has brought together, no man can tear apart! I'm ready for our 2nd National Convention!!! LOL!!!
