My First Video - Graveyard Memories

This is my first video (actually two) ever. They were done using a new service called animoto (see below). They are pictures taken on my recent trip to Ohio and Kentucky of unique gravestones set to music. 

Thanks to the good people at the blog photojojo for the tip!  This is one of the photoblogs I subscribe to and read regularly.  I recommend it for your reading as well if you are an amateur photographer like me.  The article in photojojo that mentioned animoto is below.  Please note that if you subscribe to photojojo and sign up for animoto by Sunday, you can get a free full-length video credit.

Photo Slideshows are So Yesterday. ANIMOTO = Your Photos + MTV

Picture 487 of your Jamaican vacation photos fading by as some Caribbean muzac plays in the background. Yeah, photo slideshows can be kind of a snore.

The solution? Animoto!

Think of it as a little black box filled with film & TV producers, techies, indie rockers, and robots.

You put your photos and a song in one end, shake it up, and a photo music video pops out the other end… with pro-level post-production, animated cuts synced to your music’s beat, and oh-so-much style.

And it only takes a few clicks. (Really!) The robots do all the work.

The 30 second videos are free and they’re perfect for mailing to friends or posting to your blog, MySpace, Facebook, etc. Longer videos cost a few bucks. Special for Photojojo subscribers: Sign up for free by Sunday using this link and the swell lads at Animoto will put a credit in your account for one free full-length video. (It’s okay to tell your friends.)

p.s. Here’s a fun Animoto video we made from photos taken at a photobooth we recently set up.
