Just for the heck of it, I decided to try a service called Animoto, which promises to lets you create videos in minutes from your own photos, letting you add music you select from their site, or you can use your own track. It's free for creating 30-second videos (like the one here), or, if you want longer videos, it's just $30 for a full annual pass, to create as many as you want.
I just uploaded a selection of my Flickr set from the Blogwell event, which I attended a couple of weeks ago (see previous post), chose an instrumental track, and -- sure enough -- I got the end-result in minutes. Pretty cool. Kind of a poor-man's way to do video... :-) Especially if you're like me and shoot a ton of stills at events of all kinds. Man, do I have the archive.
Hey, I just might make another video with the pix I shoot this Friday, August 28th, at our next Social Media Breakfast-Twin Cities -- it's at the Minnesota State Fair. That's right, "Social Media on a Stick!" I just might wear my cowboy boots and hat...
Wonder what music track should I use for that one? Hmm, the possibilities boggle the mind...
