The techniques used to create 30 Miles East of LA are very simple using basic software. The movie has 3 tracks: video (created in FotoMagico), music, and voiceover (both tracks added in iMovie HD). In this podcast, I talk about how the project began 2 years ago when I digitized the 20 year-old tapes of the band's music. I then began collecting and scanning the visuals, and even returned to Southern California to photograph the locations where the band performed 2 decades ago.
If you're interested in saving some of your old cassette tapes, you may want to read the article, Five Fun Ways to Play with Audio Hijack Pro. It describes how to use Audio Hijack to convert analog tapes to digital files.

This was another very good podcast. I learned some important technical ideas in putting together and sharing slideshows. In addition, it was also interesting to hear about Pomona, California. I grew up in Claremont, just a couple miles down the road. I graduated from high school in 1974, probably a bit early for Derrick's era. Thank you.
