Thing 21

Creating this video has been among the most fun things I have ever done. I wish I could think of a dozen uses for it, but I will certainly remember it should the opportunity ever arise. What I can do for now is share it with family members who were present on the balcony for the jam session that lasted well into the evening.

Animoto meets both of my criteria for an application: it is user friendly and it is forgiving as well. I need to learn to focus on the layout rather than the task at hand and maybe I would not have to do so many retakes. I also failed to see the area for the title, and it produced as "null" - but easily edited when the video was finished. I accidentatlly navigated away from the slide viewer and had to upload a second time, but other than that it worked on autopilot.

I was very pleased with what the application put together the first time; I don't think I could improve on it. It was simple, and fun, it worked like it was supposed to, and the 12 minutes to produce it was worth the wait. I loved this experience!

I have posted the video to my facebook profile to share with the other members of my family who were there when the pictures were taken.
