New Show - Let There Be Peace On Earth

[alcain Profile Private messageWebsite]

This is a thought provoking show on "Peace On Earth". I loved the song from the moment I first heard it. The intro is a little disturbing, but the show moves quickly to a more peaceful mode. I had to first show "war", for my viewers to see the effects of war, and the peace that we all need to find within our own selves and our community and our nation. Please offer your thoughts...

Al,

I tried twice to watch your show ........ both times it took a long time to down load and after viewing about 30 seconds, I got an error message and it shut down. I will try again tonight on my home computer. maybe my work connection is too slow for your show, although it is DSL.

Al,

I finally got your show to play .......... nice job, well thought out and the music matched the photos perfectly. Scary to see how young our fighting men and women are. Thanks for posting this great show.

Hi Al- What a great show! I too love that song (imagine that-you and I liking the same song). I actually sang that song in church when I was a teenager. Seems like so long ago! Hopefully, one day, there will be peace on earth where everyone is equal and all nations can live together in harmony.

Take care,
Julie

Al,
I realize that you posted this over a year ago, but I just "found" it today. VERY MOVING and absolutely wonderful. Please keep it posted so I can re-visit it at will!

Elizabeth,

As you can see, my 'style of show' relies on the music and the images. I seldom use anything fancy - in this way, the viewer can focus on the meaning of the show, and not the mechanics of the show.

Thank you for your comments. I appreciate you taking the time to view 'this old show'.

Blessings, ~al

Hi Al,

Very, very touching photos! Perfect selection. Well presented, as usual, perfect flow. The transition with the kids, wow! They should send "sniper Bush" for a month there, front line.

Peace... and yes, love!

If there were awards for this forum, you should definitely win the top spot. This was a beautiful show. There probably aren't too many of us that don't know someone "over there" . And worry about them all the time, know matter how closely related. Your show was a beautiful tribute to something so ugly. Ann

A powerful show Alcain. Are the photos ones that you have taken?

Al,
Over a year ago, and it's still fresh. Showing soldiers as real feeling people and the ones who "pay our dues" is a stark contrast to the cold statistics of war... But there is hope in each new generation.

Well done Al.

wow,what a brilliant show. i really have a lot to learn.
thanks for the show.

Thank you all. Gringa, I cannot take credit for any of the photos except for four of the images (the statues). Most of the adult war images were borrowed from a church member who was in the war as a photo journalist. He had a slideshow and talk one evening at church about war, which I attended. I immediately thought about doing a show in Proshow and asked if I could borrow some of his images. In return, I gave him a DVD of this show which he was very impressed with. I agree, it is an ugly topic, but even the bible says, "there will always be war" and near the end of times, there will be "war and rumors of war". But even though it is written... I can still believe that it must at least "begin with me". Blessings to all, ~al

But we can all try. It is a beautiful show; made me weep at the thoughts. Thanks for your magnificent contribution. I'm just sorry I didn't see it sooner. BTW where did you obtain the stock motion footage, and what's the format?
Thanks again, BuddyB

Well Al, guess I opened a can of "nice" worms! Really glad I found this slideshow AND started conversation AGAIN! I showed it to an Army Mom who has a 24-year-old in Iraq at the moment and will show it to a National Guard gal heading that way in October. Army Mom was very impressed and appreciative. We all want peace (and Vince sings that song so wonderfully!), but as the young soldier recently said when talking to his mother, "You took care of me for so many years, I am so proud to be able to keep you safe and [b]free."[b] Thanks again for being so insightful and creative.
