Presentations on Steroids

Well … maybe not steroids. But Animoto sure adds a nice dimension to a presentation. I wrote about Powerpoint presentation techniques recently but only learned of Animoto, thanks to my friend Steve Kayser.

Animoto is a way to create animated slideshows using still images, and it has merits to bring alive a possibly dull Powerpoint. But it provides no control over style or production quality; just upload images and music, and Animoto does the rest.

Here a demo I created on a Sunday afternoon, using photos taken during our vacation on Switzerland last August.
