We were absolutely thrilled when we heard Chana Joffe-Walt’s recent segment on This American Life about choosing a song for the end-of-year slideshow. We agree music is a must for the biggest impact on a photo slideshow, whether it’s during a holiday concert, graduation, or something in between.
But what if your team members have different musical preferences and are having difficulty coming to a consensus? Or maybe it’s been a challenging year and you just can’t nail down the right tone?
We put together a few suggestions to make your slideshows shine including memorable moments from movie soundtracks, instrumental covers, and a few outside-the-box sleeper hits. Enjoy!
