I have 120 4x6 prints that I want to create a montage with.
I was planning on setting up the video camera and shooting 10 second clips of each print (20 minutes total) and editing transitions etc in Premiere. Seems much faster than scanning each one.
I use the camera on a tripod beside a table with a 30 degree inclined board covered with a black velvet fabric for shooting the clips, keeping the camera angle at 90 degrees to the photo. Using the remote I can get good video clips of each image. It is fast to switch the photos in and out while the camera is paused. I have PSD images to drop in as well.
Question 1: Is there any advantages/drawbacks to this in comparison to scanned images done in Photoshop Elements 4.0...which really makes it easy to create a slideshow.
I was also going to try my hand at creating a few special effects with some of the photos in After Effects, but this part is just an aside if I have the time.
Question 2: What is the best lense/filter setup for this type of shoot? I would like to reduce any glare there might be.
