Animoto: Presentation Software.

By now you should have a selection of photographs which you have produced when doing the following exercises:

Portraits

Rule of Thirds

Framing

+ others!

I would like you to select your 3 best photographs from the above list. So that you have about 10 photographs in all.

You are now going to create a short 30second video, which shows off your best images. You can embed this video into your blog.

Create a Animoto account. Get a free account at www.animoto.com.

In animoto I would like you to add headings to your animation, eg Portraits, Rule of Thirds and Framing. This can be doing using the text tool. You can also add music to the short video.

Once the video has rendered you can embed it into your blog. Show your friends. Well done.
