Message for Siddharth

Hi Siddhartha,

Thanks for yesterdays creative session. Your videos were very appealing. It has opened a lot of new avenues for Bollyscope.

Couple of thoughts on video that you presented..
a. the sound in the videos presented yesterday needs redoing. There was a lot of white noise in the background.
b. We may have to re-record the sound , and lip synch it by muting the video
c. The colors have to be enriched. We will have to figure out a software for that.

In addition to Windows Movie Maker, please use these also which will help in audio editing & video finishing. You can search google and download them. They are all freewares.
