Funny interview

A funny video card that will appeal to a person with a good sense of humor. First you need to conduct a survey among the friends of the hero of the occasion. Ask a variety of questions on abstract topics: what does pineapple ice cream taste like or what did they call their favorite soft toy as a child? Film the answers on camera, and then, during editing, replace the original ones with other questions related to the main character of the holiday. “Describe what he is like?”, “What would you affectionately call him?” It will turn out incredibly funny and cute!

Impressions - TOP 15 unforgettable emotional surprises for mom

It is important to choose surprise impressions in accordance with the mother’s hobbies. For a youthful and athletic woman, the following entertainment may be suitable:

1. Horseback riding through the picturesque surroundings of the city. Special organizations that exist in every major city will help you organize a holiday for your mother.
2. Bicycle ride with children and grandchildren. A trip to nature in the summer and a picnic in the forest will help mom feel like the center of the family again.
3. Visit to an ice skating rink or ski track. Fans of winter sports will appreciate this pleasure.
4. Going to the water park. It is especially good in winter, when you really want to go to the warm sea.
5. Balloon ascension. Such a surprise will be the most unexpected gift.

If the mother is a calm, intelligent woman, then the best impressions will be:

1. visit the exhibition;
2. going to the theater for the premiere of a play;
3. excursion to historical places that are part of my mother’s interests;
4. themed evening by the fireplace in the library;
5. tea ceremony in a Japanese restaurant.

It’s easy to come up with an original surprise: in large cities there are concerts and exhibitions, presentations, festivals and other events that mom wants to attend, but doesn’t hope to attend. Loving children can give the opportunity to visit an interesting place.

Many women especially enjoy body and facial care procedures. Pamper your beloved mother with a visit to the spa or a massage.

A romantic boat trip will bring an unforgettable experience. To do this, you don’t have to go abroad on an ocean cruise. On the navigable rivers of Russia, local travel companies organize such excursions at a reasonable price.

For mothers with unusual hobbies, the following types of active recreation are suitable:

1. visit to the planetarium (the topic of the lecture can be chosen in advance);
2. a trip to the oceanarium or dolphinarium, if it is located near the mother’s place of residence;
3. for city dwellers, a day in the countryside may be interesting (such excursions are organized in megacities).

How to create a video card: step-by-step manual with video

Let's take a closer look at how to prepare a slide show in the PhotoSHOW PRO program. To get started, we recommend watching a video on creating video greetings in the editor:

STEP 1. Adding materials to the work

Open the program. From the folder, transfer videos and photos to the timeline. You can use files of various video and graphic extensions. Elements can be swapped by simply dragging and dropping.

Add photos and videos

To give your video a solid and professional look, set the intro and outro slides from the Titles and Intros tabs. The catalog contains more than 30 ready-made templates. They can be edited to add individuality.

STEP 2: Set up transitions

To make the slides change each other beautifully, you need to add transition animation. There are a lot of interesting options in the corresponding section of the program. Select the appropriate one and install it on all slides. If you don’t want to make the transitions the same, you can add different ones manually or use the “Random transitions” option. You can set the duration of the animation yourself.

Add smooth transitions

STEP 3. Create Animation

To make your video look truly creative, attract attention and cause that “wow” effect, you should add animation. You can simply apply ready-made effects, of which there are dozens in the program (weather, three-dimensional, glow and others) or make animation from scratch. On a slide, you can create new layers from photos, videos, text and clipart, and then make them move away and come closer, rotate, move out from behind the screen, and also appear out of invisibility. Complete freedom of creativity is open to you!

Customize the animation

STEP 4. Voiceover

In the “Music” section, add a beautiful background melody from the program catalog or from your personal collection on your computer. Additionally, you can add voice comments. Adjust the volume, fade in and fade out of the song. If the music is longer than the visuals, you can easily trim it.

Voice over the video

That's all, all you have to do is save the project and choose what format you want to create the video in. It can be prepared for viewing from a computer or devices, recorded on DVD or published on social networks.
