Animoto - postscript

Needless to say I did go back to Animoto. I wanted to put together some photos for the family (or for me) of an uncle who died in recent times. Now that was frustrating. I had photographs scanned on my hard drive and it took me ages to work out why I couldn't see all of them when I was trying to upload from Animoto. Duh! I finally worked out the difference: these are .tif and the ones I was able to load were all .jpg. So it looks to me that this tool can only be used with .jpg files. Anyway, I was glad to have worked out what was happening. Meanwhile, as I have posted a couple of my video clips over at the City of Boroondara Learning 2.1 ning, I can look at them there to my heart's content.

More Animoto - a family history tool



This is positively the last play I am having with Animoto this afternoon! Note that that leaves this evening, of course. This one, with great originality labeled La vita, is an attempt to see how family history photographs could be used to create a video clip. I know I am quite transparently playing with this to avoid housework so I had better get on with it!

Agatha Christie in Egypt - without Murder at the Vicarage ;>)

I've had great fun playing with Animoto, remixing and reloading things for this video clip of Agatha Christie. I ended up going back to the original one and just exchanging the Murder at the Vicarage cover with one for Death comes at the end.
