Animoto Video

Paris, here we come!

I think that this one is the most practical for the classroom. I could see myself using this type of setup for a lesson. I like that you can add your voice to tell the story. The only drawback is that I feel that this is the least creative of all of the websites. I thought that the final product was kind of boring compared to the other two.

This one wasn't my favorite for several reasons. First, I felt like I didn't have much control over the way my pictures were presented. Also, I really wanted to add a video, but I couldn't figure out how. I felt like this is more of a music video type of creation. It wasn't really like a movie, which I thought it would be more like. I understand that there needs to be some sort of guidance for the pictures, but I just didn't like the organization of the photos. Even the photos that I highlighted didn't stay on the screen long. Loading the pictures also really took a long time.

This one was my favorite. I really enjoyed this one because it was easy to use / understand and it looks great in the end. I really liked the music choices for the show. I think that it adds a nice quality to the message. I e-mailed this to my friends who are in the scrapblog that I made and they really liked it! I think it is really convenient that you can easily adjust the speed of the video as well. I do wish that you could add more motion to the photos. I would definitely use this one again to create more scrapbooks.
