I have found the coolest tool for dynamic artistic presentations through the use of a tool called Animoto. Today I was listening to Net at Night, a part of Leo Laporte’s Twit network of programming and they interviewed the founder of one of the coolest new photo applications out there today.

Animoto is a tool that allows you to upload pictures along with a DRM free MP3 file and it will create an awesome dynamic presentation of your photo’s to the beat and tempo of the music. The program offers the ability to set your photos in motion in a way only the best audiophiles and videographers could in the past.

Check out Animoto’s home page and look at the sample that they offer, it will have you sold immediately. Here are some of the features and possibilities I can see for the artist, not to mention the amateur photographer or home user.

1. Use animoto for client presentations of your art. If you have potential client that you think might enjoy a dynamic presentation of your portfolio, use animoto to set up a quick presentation of your work.

2. Use an animoto video as your “Purple Cow” at an art show booth. The “Purple Cow” is a metaphor made up by author and Blogger Seth Godin that teaches you to have something that catches peoples attention. One of these videos playing at your booth will grab people and keep them there!!

3. Use an animoto video for web promotion on YouTube, a Blog, or in Facebook. Animoto has a facebook application!

4. Use an animoto video for family and friends. Sick of trying to explain what you do? Pop out the laptop and show em’ what you do in an exciting quick way that will get them asking questions and piquing interest.

5. Lastly, animoto could be used to build SEO to your website, it can be used in on stage presentations, or just used as a tool for the hobbiest.

Let me know what you think of the tool. I will be trying it out in the next few days and posting it here to my blog. So subscribe through RSS and be sure to check back in the coming days In fact Animoto has even given me a referer code that you can enter for $5 off any of their premium services that they offer for full length feature videos. The code is —- onxpbuhf —- type the code in when the service prompts you and you get the $5 off or use this link DISCOUNT ..easy weezy!! Enjoy!!
