If you have an iPhone, I advise you to visit the iTunes App Store immediately and install Animoto, a free app and one of the coolest I’ve yet seen for iPhone.
I’m a huge fan of Animoto, the service that creates imaginative videos from static photos and music.
Once you sign up for a free account on the website, you can upload or link to some photos, choose some music, click a button or two and within a short time, you have a 30-second video. Open a paid account and you can create much longer videos and enjoy other benefits.
Now with Animoto on your iPhone, you can easily create a short video from photos on your phone or that you shoot there and then to include in your video, wherever you happen to be.
Check out this Animoto iPhone video, which took me less than 5 minutes to select the pics from some I happen to have on my iPhone, choose some music from Animoto (and listen to previews of what I was considering before selecting a track), hit the button and wait a bit for the notification email:
So spontaneous and so simple. This will be a huge hit!
