I hit the century mark on my 365 Project on Flickr yesterday. I made this little video to celebrate.
The goal of the project is to take one photo a day for a year. I added another layer of complexity early on by promising myself that I had to actually like each day’s official photo. It’s been quite a challenge, but incredibly fulfilling at the same time. Inspired by the impressive work of those who came before me, and the supportive community that has developed around the project, I’ve had plenty of support. I’d highly recommend it to anyone interested in stretching their photographic muscles.
I used Animoto to make the video. Podsafe music: Fuzzy Peach by Monkeybacon
]]>Unbelievable, right? I’m a believer now. Using a nifty custom algorithm, Animoto.com analyzes your photos and the music to create a one of a kind multimedia experience. You simply select your photos from your computer or elsewhere online (like Flickr or lots of others), choose the music from their collection by genre or upload your own DRM-free tracks and then they make it awesome. Five minutes or so later you can email, embed, send to YouTube or download the finished product.
Their business model is clever too. You can make as many 30-second clips as your heart desires for free, pay $3 for a single full-length video or $30/year for unlimited full-length videos. Try their Facebook app as well.
