| I took pictures tonight according to the script in the leader's manual, then when I went to insert them into Power Point, there were many types of pictures called for that I hadn't taken since the manual didn't list those. Also, the slides with the buddies in them didn't match up between the software and the manual. For example, Buc, the first buddy in the drama(I think) was slide 5 in the manual, but slide 6 on the Power Point. You may want to review the Power Point first and see the prompts at the bottom of each slide to see what your picture should be--don't go by what the manual says. I just improvised, and luckily, I had taken pictures throughout the week that I could use instead. I just wanted to let you guys know since it threw me off a little bit and I had to think fast in order to fix it. I had only about a half hour to work on it and this one has a lot more slides than the other nights. The website says to use the manual, but it screwed me up. BUT, I will say--the kids absolutely loved seeing themselves!!! Whenever they saw me with the camera, they'd ask if they were going to be in the "movie" that night. It was really fun!!!! Hope this helps!

StephinVA-
It is slide 6 in the powerpoint presentation because the manual does not list the opening title slide, which says "Wild Ride" on the front of it. I recently added the slide timings to Day 5 and it was very hard to do.
As for the many pictures that you didn't take, I don't know what you mean by that. From reading the manual, you are only needed to take 23 pictures of the kids, with 5 of the pictures already being there.
Any other questions, we'll be happy to answer them for you.

I know what you mean! We went to load the pictures. The manual would say something like 2 kids playing a game and the powerpoint would say 2 kids riding a horse. After the first couple of slides hardly anything matched. And it wasn't off by a slide-they didn't even exist! I was so disappointed in the quality of the spotlight drama. I couldn't fix day 3 because I live in the boonies and have only dial up and it wouldn't download. I had no idea there wasn't audio on day 2. I did see where it said no audio for day 5-but I can't play a cd and the power point at the same time. So the music couldn't be heard as well. The kids loved the photos, but our speaker system is poor and when the kids would "oooh" or laugh, they couldn't hear the audio. It just wasn't designed to be used by a church like ours.
