With the year fast drawing to a close I have once again made use of Animoto.com to edit together some of my favourite family photos of 2008. The music is “I’m Yours” by Jason Mraz.

So once again I have used of my favourite editing tools Animoto to edit our holiday photos. The pictures were taken at the Chinese Garden in Toowoomba, the swimming pool at our resort in Noosaville, and at the Australian Zoo in Beerwah. The music for the video is Beautiful Reasons by Zach Gill which is available for download here. Please Note - As this is a high resolution video it may be necessary to press the pause button and allow the video to buffer before playing. To view the regular photo gallery click here.

Here are some black & white portrait photo's of the kids. They were taken by local photographer Kylie Biltris last year.

 

 

Recently I have discovered a great new website called Animoto. The site makes it very easy to turn your favourite photo collections into music videos. All you do is upload your photo's and music, and the website will do the rest. Below is an example of what you can achieve, these photo's were taken on our holiday last year to Noosa and Dreamworld on the Gold Coast. The music is a song called "A little bit of feel good" by Jamie Lidell.

Here is a collection of Photo's that were taken of our family over the Easter long weekend. The first few photo's are of the kids on a Easter Egg hunt in our backyard. The rest of the photo's are from our trip to the nearby town of Echuca, the kids enjoyed a horse and cart ride and loved there ride on a Paddlesteamer. To view the full slideshow click here

Yes I've finally got around to editing these photo's from last Christmas click here to view the slideshow.
