There’s been a lot of discussion in the past year about using video to sell your photography. I’m far from being an expert on video but I would like to point you in the direction of Animoto. This product simply rocks. In a matter of minutes you can create a great looking video using your photographs. Animoto also supplies licensed music so that you can mix your video with some great tunes. The program is very easy to use. You simply upload your photos, pick your music and click create my video. If you don’t like your video than simply click remix for a totally new look. Also, you can upload your video into Myspace, YouTube, Twitter….you name it. I don’t want to sound like an advertisement for the website but if you’re a video idiot like me then I think you’ll be happy. Animoto is easy to use and best of all it’s free for 30 second spots. Click HERE and you will receive $5.00 of if you ever decide to upgrade to the paid “all-access pass”. Let me know what you think or if you have another service you would recommend please leave a comment. Happy video making!

I have had great success with Animoto! I knew it would work, because a similar slide show of photos with music hit that emotion button with my daughter’s Senior photos in 2003. I bought EVERYTHING! haha.
I have had nothing but raves using this tool and sold more prints if I show the client the video and post actual photos 4-24 hours later. : )
Sue,
I’m glad to hear you had a good experience with it too. Thanks for the great feedback…John
