Matt and Kellye made some great fliers and for the better part of Friday afternoon before ... http://julibean.umwblogs.org/2008/03/20/getting-out-the-word/ So after several hours spent editing raw footage on windows movie maker, I have gained great appreciation for the fellows that actually do this kind of a thing for a living.
