Animoto – photo videos

Published in All Grades, Other on March 20, 2009

This little gadget has come across my desk a few times already – most recently by my friend, Darcy Lummis. Animoto produces TV & film-quality music videos using your photos in just minutes. Simply upload your images & choose a song as the soundtrack to your video. Animoto will then analyze every nuance of the song, producing a totally unique video each time. No two videos are ever the same. Videos can then be e-mailed, downloaded, exported to your favorite social networking site, burned to DVD, and placed on your website or blog.
