Animoto

Animoto

Process:

  This video was made on a website called Animoto. I selected a theme and chose my own pictures to create this video.

Purpose:

By using Animoto, my video became very professional looking.Animoto doesn't just use boring old transitions and effects that you'd find on Power Point or Photo Story. It uses professional looking effects to make the video pop out more.

Possibilities:

Although Animoto is a very good website, if you want more themes and a video longer than 30 seconds, you have to pay money. Overall though, Animoto is a great and professional website.

Snowed Inn Galleria

   This video was made with Microsoft Power Point. The photos were found from various piercing sites and Power Point's clipart.

   In Power Point, you have the ability to turn your presentation into a movie. This process was a lot easier and faster than other applications. It helped me make my video quite calm and relaxed so that I could appeal to people looking for piercings or tattoos during their stay at the Snowed Inn.

   Overall, this was pretty simple to make. Anyone could make this kind of video with even the least amount of knowledge of Power Point. I have to say though, the animations (such as the snowflakes in the beginning) aren't the best, but they work. Other than that, Microsoft Power Point is a wonderful program to make videos with.

Hedgehogs

 Hedgehogs 

Hedgehogs have a very effective self-defense mechanism. A hedgehog's back is covered with about 6,000 sharp spines. When a hedgehog senses danger or is threatened, it will roll its body up in a ball and its sharp spines will stand on end. Any predator that dares attack a hedgehog in this defensive position is in for a painful surprise. Hedgehogs are originally from Europe. They live in many different habitats. They can live in the forest, the desert, and even your backyard. Hedgehogs hibernate 6 months of every year. They eat a variety of insects. They can be helpful in the garden because they like to eat slugs and insects that can damage plants. Hedgehogs also like to eat earthworms. Hedgehogs are nocturnal animals that feed at night.
