Faded Memories Reborn

October 2006
A digital photograph taken by FMR at a local elementary school outing, was chosen to be included in their yearbook ;)

Summer of 2006
Faded Memories Reborn, learned this year that one of the old historical schools-Cole Elementary, would be sold off and built anew at another location. FMR, after numerious phone calls was referred to an Asst. School Official. FMR piitched an idea, whereby we would make and sell them a master video of the schools historical heritage. The thought was that the school could sell copies at fundraising events...but they opted for a website. 

Spring of 2007
A volunteer board member on a committee responsible for the 100th Anniversary of Julia Davis Park in Boise, Idaho, asked if we would be interested in making a video for the celebration. They opted for a multi-part spread in the local paper, instead. Too bad, as they could have had a master video, made copies, and sold them for fundraising...OH Well...maybe for the 200th Anniversary, lol!

July of 2007
Faded Memories Reborn was asked to make several marketing videos, for Rocky Mountain Development & Construction Inc., of Boise, Idaho.
(Real Estate Videos are hot!) Ask me how!!

December 2007
FMR donated a video package free of charge to a local bus company to raise funds for a childrens chairity.

Febuary-2008
Due to overwhelming contributions for a local charity event, FMR's video donation to a local bus company was held over from Christmas-2007 and will be raffled off at the end of Febuary at their next In-Service meeting. Stay tuned, as I will post the lucky winner!! (All donations will go to the Make-a-Wish Foundation).

Debbie from First Student won the video raffle! Congrats & enjoy!!

April-2008
FMR was asked to take photographs at a third grade outing, which were used to write up an online review and also added to a school teachers website...Thanks to Roosevelt Elementary School!

Equipment we use

Fuji Finepix S5000 Digital Camera 
An old one given to me when my dad passed on. Great camera to learn on.
Decent pics, but a Canon XTI is on the want list. ;)
Sony Handycam Hi-8mm 
Digital Camcorder (Good and light, easy to use. Decent video)

HP Multimedia Computers
(Although not a fan of HP, the old man, talked me into this one. Half the multimeda stuff that came with has gone unused. You would have to have a million bucks to purchase all the companion stuff you need to really make this thing shine. Mine is older version. Dual core and advanced graphics card would be better for video editing, and I could do without all the useless HP junk and third party stuff that HP adds on)! I think it would be easier to build one, with just what you want!

HP 8050 Printer
(I prefer Canon. Five or six expensive ink jet cartridges though made me go back to HP. ) HP printer engines are made by Canon anyway, so you can't go wrong. HP has way too many options for cartridges, but I heard they cut back to a smaller selection. Great pictures on 4x6 and 8x10! I've had mine two years with nary a glitch).

Canoscan Scanner
I told you Canon had some great products! A low price on a mid-level scanner. Don't be fooled though...although I looked hard at the Canon 9900, (400 smackers) the 8900F does everything and more, at less than half the price)!
