Our team (Dolphins) won 24 to 12. Was a great pre-season game.

Nice.

I haven't thought of Animoto for a couple of years when I first took a subscription

It's really a good program, I'll have to look at a couple of 10 sec pieces

Nice work

Pretty cool. My eye kept going to the edges and background for some reason.

Nice stuff!! I've not used Animoto yet, but overall, my experience is that you lose the viewer at about 90seconds to 2:00. They lose interest. Especially in images that are similar in their subject matter.
I'm not a big overlay guy, so that's pretty much season to taste for me. The small portfolio slideshows I've done all revolve around slow, (hopefully...lol) precise dissolves--of which I missed my in/out point on more than a few images. )
I would also say to keep all your frames moving. If you've flown in a frame, try to keep is sliding in the same direction, even if is so insignificantly slight...when the frame flies in and stops, but the content continues to zoom, it has an awkward feeling. I also, again this is personal taste, would consider changing the fly in zooms that zoom out, to flow in only one direction.

Fun, fun stuff! I'm a former Aurora resident so miss DEN. I'm envious! .
Best!

I liked it Adam! This is the first I have seen of the animoto. This looks like a good option.

The HS has asked me to share some of my shots for the HS football site. I would rather not give them the shots so I can somehow protect my work. What is the best way for me to give them a slideshow that they can share on the web site and still maybe point them to my site for photos or at the least protect the photos from being downloaded.

Animoto might work for that. Sounds like you really just want to drive traffic to your website, so heavily watermarked shots that have your URL on them might serve the purpose best. Once you give them photos there really isn't any way you can protect them (that I know of).
