We used Macromedia Flash to create our flash animations. Then we published the files as .gif images.

This is a bouncing ball animation:

Process

I created this video by using Animoto. I used images involving water to show a relaxing scene.The music in this movie was used from the gallery in the Animoto website. I also chose the water theme to make it look all the more relaxing. For this I had to choose the images I thought would best go along with the theme, then I added some text. Finally I added music, I then watch the preview of the video after I thought it was satisfactory I published the video.

Purpose

We used Animoto because it was an easy to use website that allowed you to create a video by just using images. I found it interesting that once use chose a theme it created amazing effects to the images without having to do them yourself. This video also allowed for the viewer to get a perspective on a different type of vacation such as one on the water. Also the video shows the viewer the things they could see while on vacation, and some of these sights are quite stunning.

Possibilities

I think this project would have been better if I could have added more images and added a little more text, but other than that I thought it was overall a good video. now that I know how this website works it would be easier for me to create another video like this one.

~Zoo~

Process: I created this zoo movie by using Photo Story. First of all I added the same picture multiple times added some effects to the images. I then added text to provide information about the animal chosen in the video. Once that was completed I put animation on each image to create an effect to make the video more interesting. The music I have in this movie was from the application Photo Story itself. I chose this type of music to make the movie a little more entertaining.

Purpose: We used Photo Story because it was another easy way to create a movie. It allowed for us to use the same image over again and we could also crop the image down to how we wanted it to look. This application allows you to record right along with the images. It also allows you to choose what sort of music you whether it's your own or the applications. I believe this application was very easy to use because it pretty much guided you step by step. Also the purpose of putting a Zoo page on Snowed Inn is to show off a certain aspect of Snowed Inn. It allows for the viewer to see facts about an animals at the zoo. My video has a light air about it with some information about the animal in the zoo. I hope it shows a prospective visitor how much fun they could have at my Snowed Inn.

Possibilities: I think I could remake this and do it quicker because now I understand the program. I also think I could show someone how to do this and that it would be quite easy.

Galleria

Snowed Inn Galleria

Process: I created this movie by first creating a PowerPoint, I then add images and text to each slide. Next I added transitions and animations to the objects and slides on the PowerPoint. Afterwards I saved my PowerPoint as a wmv (Windows Media Video). I used multiple images to show off the shops in the video such as, pet pictures and tattoo images, I also used pet grooming and supply pictures to show off the options. I found my music off of one of the website given to us. I selected this piece of music so that the viewer feels calm and not over excited.

Purpose: I used PowerPoint to make this movie because it was easier. The reason it is easier is all you have to do is create slide add effects then save it as a wmv file. Also the reason for putting a galleria page on our snowed inn sites is to show the guest the possible shops they could visit. My movie shows the visitors a few possible shops to visit. The video also shows great ideas for pets and a memorable tattoo.

Possibilities: I think the images really helped to bring forth the message. If anything I would probably change the theme for the slides to something more visual. I would have also liked to had more animations and do a little more with the transitions. I believe if I were to create this again I would be able to do so faster and it would also be easier because I now would understand what to do. I believe it would also be easy to show someone to make this and they would be able to easily pick up on it.
