• What’s the best digital slave flash?
• Do you take photos to document life or create art?
• What am I Wednesdays #7

Picture 487 of your Jamaican vacation photos fading by as some Caribbean muzac plays in the background. Yeah, photo slideshows can be kind of a snore.

The solution? Animoto!

Think of it as a little black box filled with film & TV producers, techies, indie rockers, and robots.

You put your photos and a song in one end, shake it up, and a photo music video pops out the other end… with pro-level post-production, animated cuts synced to your music’s beat, and oh-so-much style.

And it only takes a few clicks. (Really!) The robots do all the work.

The 30 second videos are free and they’re perfect for mailing to friends or posting to your blog, MySpace, Facebook, etc. Longer videos cost a few bucks. Special for Photojojo subscribers: Sign up for free by Sunday using this link and the swell lads at Animoto will put a credit in your account for one free full-length video. (It’s okay to tell your friends.)
