Dev, one of my colleagues had his birthday and we had a surprise for him. Here is a quick video we came up with.

Funny Birthday Bash – Dev From AdventNet – Click here for more home videosIt was fun spraying him and even making the video. Alex helped with the script and the whole theme.

Cameras used were the Nokia N70 (thanks Vinod) and N73 (reason for lack of clarity). The movie was edited using Windows Movie Maker. It is a pretty neat tool – easy to use. It has some really neat effects. But if you are using it, make sure you have lots of RAM or making a very small video without many frills (effects, transitions, audio and titles). I had to export portions of my movie separately and then join all those parts to get what you see above.

Uploading it to the web was a nightmare. Tried 3 times on Google Video but somewhere after 2 hours, the page would time out. Metacafe was fairly faster and more user-friendly. Anyways, it is finally up. Hope you enjoy it.

Happy Birthday again, Dev!
