Yes, you CAN combine video and still photographs into one video segment without having it look like a stagnant "slide show". Add music, edit to the music, use varying dissolve lengths and "pushes and pulls" in your edit software to make your piece move.
Also, edit your still photos into Google's Picasa (free photo editing software) first, to perfect your framing and colors. Remember, videos should be entertaining, not boring so make it move!
The first part of this video that I did for the Lake Oswego Rowing Club in June was shot with a small Canon HD camara and an on-camera mic that I added myself, plus a wide-angle lens I added. The still photos were shot on my Canon 35mm digital camara.
A final note: make sure you wear headphones when you shoot video to be certain that you are getting your audio loud and clear. If you do't have audio, yoiu don't have anything! Get close if you need to - a wide angle lens can help you get close and still have a nice wide shot. Have fun! See more videos of mine at www.morantv.com
