Flip to animoto

If, like me, you like playing with low-tech visual media, (I am the proud owner of a Holga, Lomo and of course Flip camera) I recommend animoto . This app will turn a mix of stills and video into a seamless little visual presentation knitted together with a synchronised music backing track from your music library. If you crave words, these can be added, caption-like, and the result is strangely reminiscent of silent movies, but 21st century-style. Anyway it's free if the film is under 30 seconds, it's easy, and has a massive range of applications including corporate presentations. You can sign up for a whole year for $30. Oh - and it's available as an iPhone app. Natch. Goodbye PowerPoint, hello animoto.
