Creative Solutions Wanted

Hi Ken and Everyone,

I have all these wonderful testimonials to edit into a promotional video for my website and for dvd. I am wondering how all of you who have put together this kind of video have made it look a little more interesting rather than simply talking heads one after another.

Here's what I was thinking. One, I would like to create some sort of graphic mask that would go over the video so you don't see the whole person from waste up. With this kind of mask, I could have text to the side with the name and title of each person and maybe a lower third title of the program. Also, I have a bunch of great photos and would like to interweave some of these.

Any ideas on how to put this together? Or any ideas that I might not have considered? Also, is motion the best for this or can I do these things right in FCP?

I would live to hear your creative solutions for this type of presentation!

Thanks.

Larry
