Get your imagination going

To help get your imagination going, here are a few ideas for fun slide shows.

  • Remember the days—Relive the early days of those fast-growing kids
  • A day in the life—Have each member of you family create a slide show of their day (help your pets create theirs).
  • The big game—Recreate the excitement of your favorite teams and players in action
  • Great adventure—Revisit a favorite destination

Select your photos and pick a song

Maybe it’s Dad’s birthday party or the baby tangled up in spaghetti—your slide show subject can range from a momentous event to a delightful slice of life. Add a song that captures the mood and you’ll be amazed at the results. 

Party suggestion: Make a game out of it and have guests guess how the music and food go together.

Show time

You can enjoy your slide show right on your desktop or notebook with crystal-clear resolution and stereo sound. To take your show to the next level, use HP MediaSmart Connect to see it in brilliant high-definition on your HDTV. Invite your family and friends to a special show or surprise them at a party or family function. And when the time is right, turn down the lights, hit play, and enjoy your creation with the rest of the audience.

Tips for some added fun

  • If you have a good storyteller on hand, have him or her act as the “narrator” of the show to set the stage and add entertaining stories.
  • Set the slideshow to fun tunes that really set the stage
  • Create a special DVD or CD keepsake of the show for your guests, and use LightScribe to personalize each disc.
