I am working on a video for our graduating class. Part of the video will be a series of photos of each student - one baby photo and one recent photo.
I need some creative suggestions of various ways to present these images in the video. I've used the general fade in/fade out and the two photos moving from opposite sides of the screen.
Any other suggestions to keep it lively and not boring?

Also - any suggestions for good backgrounds and music for this type of application?

I have done photo morphing where the baby picture slowly turns into the "older" photo. People seem to like it.

You could also use Swipes or full screen animated wipes from ETKs or even transition wipes from ETKs to add a little element between each picture. This wouldn't take long to add.

DKG...

Going off of Lotocus' suggestion, check out Take 5 episode 111 (Tip 4) and Take 5 episode 101 (Tip 3) for some of Chuck's ideas.
