Domo Arigato, Mr Animoto
Posted by Chris on September 18, 2007
I was just playing around with Animoto, the fun online video creation toy that all the cool kids are talking about. It probably doesn’t have a huge deal of educational merit (because aside from picking the photos and music, you really don’t have any say over what it actually creates) but there is no argument that what it creates looks very funky indeed. And with so little effort!
This was thrown together from some photos I had on my hard drive just to see how Animoto worked… I’d forgotten I had these pics… they were of some of the great teachers I worked with last year on my exchange year to Canada when we were messing about with PhotoBooth one day… wow, I really miss you guys!!
It’s amazing just how a bit of music and a few special effects can make a presentation look so cool though.
