Teahouses in Iran
May 23, 2010
Following the last post about Iranian tea recipes, I thought it would be nice to show you this slide show I put together of the many teahouses throughout Iran. I created this video using Windows Movie Maker. I collected the photographs from the web and strung them together, alternating the “Flip” and “Page Curl, Up Left” transitions between each slide. This way, the pictures turn to the left for each transition, giving the slide show a rhythm. Also, I added the “Ease In” effect to each image to avoid presenting the viewer with stagnant pictures. The audio is a song by Assyrian-Iranian singer Robert Bet Sayad about the beautiful places in Tehran which I found quite fitting. I used the program Audacity to shorten the song on both ends, making it the length of the video, and to fade in and fade out at the beginning and end.
