With Thanksgiving approaching this week and Christmas just around the corner, I thought I’d share with you a cool site that allows you to spruce up your holiday photos and videos. Animoto is a great site that spikes the punch and brings some oooomph to your otherwise boring holiday photos.
Not a great photographer? I’ll give you a tip. The key to taking great photos is to take LOTS of them. Then, delete all of the bad ones before anyone else has a chance to see them. Be sure to have plenty of lighting and don’t be afraid to experiment. Try new things such as different angles, candid shots, unique backgrounds, etc. Don’t forget to charge up that camera!
If you want a tip on a great little video camera, I own a Flip cam. I saw John Chambers, CEO of Cisco Systems using one of these and fell in love with it. He liked the product so much that he bought the company. Any video you see on this site is taken with my Flip cam. I bought the UltraHD, but considering that most of the content I produce is being embedded in websites, the HD quality is not needed. In other words, save your money and buy the regular version unless you plan to watch your videos on a 50″ plasma;)
