The Godfather - with music and narration

This is a revamped version of The Godfather with both music and narration. It's cheesier than a Philly Cheesesteak but it was what I had to do for my country, my family...and my class. Or something like that.
The narration was very difficult. I can see where storyboarding comes in handy because it is hard to think about what you want or need to say without having scripted it. Additionally, the intermingling of narration to music. I didn't play around too much with the music other than volume because I'm not really sure what would go well other than what I have throughout the digital story.
Enjoy - it's sugary sweet so maybe drink coffee or a beer with it (if you're of legal age).

Steve,

I thought I'd left you a comment about your last version of "The Godfather"? Anyway, I like the personal story and your respect for anonymity. The pics look good. I saw in your post that you said that you didn't get to play around with the music much. The music is ok, but something a little more upbeat would have helped with the pacing. Your narration is a little slow, but better narration will come with practice. You're completely RIGHT about storyboarding. It's such an important step that many of us skip in the process. It really helps sort out the flow of your story. Looking forward to seeing more of your work!

Anne -

You did - I was interested in the narration this time and how it worked with the music. I really struggled with the sound quality and volume mix between narration. It's a very fine line obviously. Thank you for taking a second look it.

Steve
