Animoto is a “cool tool” I’ve been fooling around with . . . it’s been fun. Basically you upload some photos from your hard drive or a photo-sharing site (I use Picasa), and then you can choose music from their collection or yours, and then it creates a video which you can keep or remix. It only takes a couple of minutes! When you are on the page with your photos, note the options for deleting or highlighting selected photos. Keep in mind that you have to have between 10-15 pics . . . For example, I made a separate ‘album’ of my Eiffel pics rather than uploading all our Europe photos which would have taken forever. Then you can email the finished product or upload it to your blog — the “Help” section walks you through any questions you might have. Best of all, these 30-second videos are free! They seem to have uploaded kind of funny . . . . they are a little too big for their frame and fuzzy. Maybe I’ll figure that out in the future but for now — Enjoy!
