As I Xi It

In my recent obsession with making animations/ time lapses/ flicks/ short movies/ creative bits of art/ moving images/ whatever you want to call them, I thought I’d give another video hosting site a go apart from the ubiquitous YouTube.

I’ve seen a few vids hosted on Vimeo and they look so much cleaner and nicer than on YouTube. To test it out, I made a slide-show using some of the pics from my Europe backpacking trip some years ago. I’ve only got Windows Movie Maker as my video editing software at the moment so the quality of this vid isn’t quite as high def as I’d like. Also, the pics I used were only 600 x 400 px (resized for Zoto uploading). Despite these constraints, it’s not too shabby.

Anyway, without further ado, here’s the slide-show -
