Zoo Video

Snow Zoo Video

Process

To create my zoo video I used Photo Story.  I uploaded a photo of the Ermine Weasel six times into Photo Story.  Then I added effects to my photos as well as cropped some of them.  I added a variety of transitions and zoom options to make my movie run smoothly and to make it more interesting.  My podcast of the Ermine Weasel is playing over my pictures.  I chose this podcast because it is about the Ermine Weasel, which is what my movie is about.  

Purpose

Photo Story was a very interesting tool to use for this movie.  The unique thing about this application was the zoom feature.  The zoom feature is a camera-like effect that allows one to zoom on a certain part of the picture.  Although Photo Story was interesting, it was not as easy to use as Microsoft PowerPoint.  The purpose of putting a zoo page for Snowed Inn was to attract parents with young children.  The zoo gives the guests another activity to do in the area that is fun and safe for children.  

Possibilities 

Photo Story worked very well for my movie, I wouldn't have chosen another source.  Some of the effects in Photo Story however, did not work well for my pictures (such as the color pencil effect.)  If I could do this differently I would have made a better and clearer podcast for my movie.  I could easily make another movie like this, only faster, and I feel I could easily tech someone how to as well.
