It’s amazing how a blast from the past can be such a powerful reminder!

I created Animoto video below over 2 years ago!

It was unusual because as I said in the description:

Had to push the boundaries of using Animoto by adding words and voice. Not because it was a good idea, it probably wasn’t, but the challenge was there so had to try!

Today David N. left me the timely reminder in a comment:

Animoto comment

Happy to say I continue to push those boundaries and are learning new things every day.

My motto–

  • The only bad ideas are never trying or giving up too quickly

Since Animoto allows you to upload your own music I quickly recorded some audio (using Audacity) and uploaded it to put with my video.

And here’s the video for a chuckle

Oops and apologies in advance as I may have said bad words like ‘this might be crap’ when talking.

Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.

  2. @Sarah Well if it makes you feel any better I had totally forgotten about this also — but such a simple idea if done well (not like I did).

  4. Thanks for the post, Sue.
    I never recorded my voice in a video except for voicethread- which is not exactly a video.
    I will try it myself. Really enjoyed your Animoto.

  6. what a great idea-the addition of voice!!of course..
    I am sure that adding voice is a lot better for some purposes than trying to choose from the music selection!! although I have made some animotos very happily with music…. 🙂
    I’m glad you like to sort things out!!
    -just like getting out of your hotel room…hardly a challenge..just open the door…..oh well!! call for an axe!! As long as it works!!
