Thing 17: Animoto

Made a quick Animoto video using photos of W.K.H. "Pief" Panofsky, SLAC's first director. Quick is the word, I picked photos quickly from our photo database, tried to use only ones that SLAC owns outright. The server was hiccupy so searching for the photos was the longest part. Uploading the photos to Animoto was quick and easy, arranging them in an order was easy. Selecting the music was a little more difficult because the SLAC Archives doesn't have any recordings I could use. So I turned to the Animoto offerings. Their free choices are heavy on current and vocal music while the classical selections are pretty trite. But once the choices were made Animoto took over and it was all done pretty quickly. And uploading to YouTube was quick too.



We still miss Pief.
