In this "thing" we got to play around with making our own video on a neat site called Animoto. This is a quick and easy site to create videos using your own pictures and video clips. They have a limited music library available, but it is easy to upload your own song bytes for use. I made a free 30 second video on this site using pictures imported from Facebook. Animoto made it incredibly easy to do this by having a menu option for "import Facebook Album." This was fun and super easy to use. If you were just wanting to put something together quickly that looked nice and somewhat professional, this is the site to use. I like making my own movies in iMovie, but that is far more involved, so this would be great to use if I was just wanting to put something together to show my students.
The video I created is made with pictures from an Ohio State - Navy Football game I went to with my family in 2009. I was still an undergrad student at Ohio State then, about to start my senior year. This was an especially fun game to go to becuase my husband (then fiance) is a West Point graduate, so the Army - Navy rivalry is also engrained in me, and it was fun to watch OSU play them.
Make your own slideshow with music at Animoto.
