Make your own slide show at Animoto.
If I can boldly say this … I just
might be the next Stephen Spielberg … No, not really, but in my non-tech would,
that is pretty darn amazing for me. I
really enjoyed using the Animoto website to produce my very own video. Whenever I am at a wedding, I always wonder
how the videographer makes the stereotypical wedding video montage that is
projected behind the couple and plays on the never-ending death loop. It always includes the obligatory naked baby photo,
the head stuck in the toilet photo (maybe that was just mine), the terrible
80’s hair/clothing photo, and the embarrassing high school prom date
photo. Oh, those were the days. The video I made, is nowhere near that, but I
did have a fun time creating it none-the-less.
Since I do not have any digital pictures on my computer, I used the ones
offered on the Animoto website. There
are quite a few photographs from which to choose, so that was nice. After scrolling through the bank of
photograph categories, I selected a variety of flower pictures from the nature
section. The website has a wide variety
of stock music to use as well. Since
nature can have a calming effect, I chose a classical piece to accompany
it. The directions to gather the
pictures and music are very simple so it was easy to compile and save it. Embedding the video is a little tricky though. I had to click around a bit to find where to
get that information. I followed the
directions, but I do not think I did it properly. The video is located at the main section of
my blog. I will keep working on it to
see if I can embed it into this particular blog.
Anyway, click on it, and enjoy my
Stephen Spielberg-ish amazing video creation!
