Remember the Kodak commercials that were running a bit ago that had the kids in the gallery? I get choked up everytime I see the older gentleman looking at the photo of his wife.

Well, now you can go and create a Kodak commercial with your own pictures in it! Go check out the one I made. It starts off with a picture of my parent's wedding, and later on you see my baby picture, Tina and I , Oscar, and then Aaron and I on our wedding day.

I would love to see everyone making their own commercial and posting links to them on their blogs. Just include your own email address in the "friends" emails and copy the url you are sent to your blog.

Send invites to all your friends and get them making commercials too.

Come back and post the url in my comments, so me and everyone that comes here can see your commercial!

    grandpa. he passed away shortly after this cruise... i sent it to a bunch of my family members too... so its a bit emotional, but then i brightened up the end with funny pictures. the last one is a picture of my cousin after the chocolate buffet on the cruise... we got a bit messy. haha!

    thanks for posting this-- GREAT IDEA!

    Oh man. Seriously, whoever came up with that commercial (the original one) either needs to get an award or be slapped because it makes me cry EVERY TIME. And this is the girl who doesn't cry at ANYTHING (um, is it horrible to admit that I actually laughed at Titanic and The Notebook? What can I say? I found it amusing.)

    After I crop & adjust the photos, they don't stay that way. When the commercial plays the photos show up like they were in the window when you can zoom & adjust them. Anyone else having that problem?

    I think it's a combination of the music and the effects of a good montage that always makes me tear up, no matter how many times I watch this commercial. Blurrrr.

    Darn technical difficulties! I'm having the same problem as the poster above. All my pics are zoomed in super close, and the changes I make in step 3 don't appear. Waaah! I'm dying to see my commercial :(

    Two things I know you need to be aware of... is you have to use jpegs...not gifs or other formats... and watch the size of your images... if they are super super huge it might cause a problem.

    I created one too. I feel like my photos are too bold or something. Your flows a lot nicer. But that makes sense, since you are the craft queen! :OD
