Thanks to Ewan at EduBlogs for linking to a great little resource called AniMoto. It creates professional-looking video slideshows from your photos. I am too tight to stump up for the full version yet, but I have been playing with the free version that lets you make short 15 second clips.
Here’s my first video. It’s taken some of my photos from my Flickr stream showing my ski holiday last year. It took about 5 mins to set up and about 5 mins for the whole thing to render. I like the finished result though.
It then gives you the code to embed it in your blog. I’m hoping this works and that below you can see the video.

This is such a great tool. I think this will be very popular for students to use to develop photo-journals – much better than having to write a journal. And, it’s so cool that you can embed into your blog too!
And your ski trip looked pretty wicked too…
Hey Danny,
I’m Rebecca Brooks, an employee at Animoto. I’m spearheading a new program called “Animoto for Education.” Pretty much we’re giving free All-Access to any educators who use our service in a cool, innovative way with their students. If you, or any of the educators you consult, would be interested, e-mail me at:

Thanks for write-up btw!
Take care,
