Step Up to a "Video Extraordinaire"

I've got some new technology to tell you about today (thanks to the geekestate blog). Animoto is the latest online service for real estate agents to use to create the coolest video shows of their listings. Animoto's approach is similar to the way we've become accustomed to constructing a traditional slideshow. You upload your photos to Animoto. You then choose music (of which Animoto offers you loads of choices or you can upload your own). And then in the final step, Animoto does it's magic and transforms your photos into what I term as a "video extraordinaire." (To view one of my Animoto creations, click here.) Animoto has both a free level and a paid level. The free level allows for (and as I've played with it I've come to figure out) 10 photos to be uploaded and a 30-second length of video. The paid level allows for a much greater amount of photos to be uploaded and a greater video length (and other perks as well). Free or paid, you are able to email potential buyers and/or embed your Animoto shows on your blog or website. Animoto is a no-brainer if you're looking to step up to the next level beyond traditional slideshows. Check it out when you get the chance.
