Hunter's birthday

Today would have been my brother's 35th birthday. I made this video clip as his last birthday present. It took some work. I had to [re]learn Paint Shop Pro, and -- since Movie Maker isn't standard on Windows anymore -- OpenShot Movie Editor.

I also went through over 7000 pictures, mostly during the week+ I was at my parents' house. Since I didn't have a USB connection, I used Amazon's Cloud Drive to transfer the pictures to myself so I could use them when I got home.

Fortunately, my two weeks in "restriction of movement" (quarantine) afforded me the necessary time to get everything done. I narrowed the ~400 pictures I thought were noteworthy down to about 100 that I actually used in the video.

There are a few pictures I wish I'd been able to squeeze in, but I'm pretty happy with the end result, as is the rest of my family.

I'm glad.
