Any ideas for my video?

[kylelewis1]

I am in the process of putting together a little video of some for a friend of some other friends saying happy birthday and other silly stuff. I have everything in FCP now but feel like it is missing some style. Right now it is basically a bunch of people (one after the other) saying happy birthday. Do any of you all have suggestions about effects I can do in FCP that would add to a video like this? What have you all done in the past with little videos like this?

Thanks! :

Well just a suggetion but you could do a very cut montage by taking just one word of each person and reassemble the whole thing to complete the sentence as many time as you want, with a very short AD Dissolves (6 frames)...

Got any Happy Birthday JumpBacks?  

Here's one I'm working on now for my nephew's 16th... it's a Minority Report effect where you open clips and such in mid air... just a thought.
