Web Browsing

For the web exploration, I did Pickpimp.com and Canvas.com. Both are photo editing websites. Pickpimp.com is an editor focused more on colors, rotation, cropping, effects, and boarders than Canvas, which has mainly text, stamps, and overlapping images. I liked pickpimp more, mostly because of the variety of overlays, boarders, effects, and more. I'll most likely use PickPimp in the future, but not Canvas, because I feel Canvas had a very limited choice selection.

Flixtime, Animioto, and Voice Thread Evaluation

VoiceThread, Animioto, and FlixTime were all at least a little enjoyable to use, but my favorite -by far- was Animioto.

I liked Animioto the most because of its vast choice of theme, whereas FlixTime had only about six, and VoiceThread didn't provide themes. One thing I didn't like about Animioto was its awkward chocies of music. None of the music seemed -to me- to fit anything I'd make a video for.

FlixTime was fun, regardless of the small theme pick. I liked the finished project very much, and it was easy to maneuver around. I didn't like its "cover page". I didn't like having to choose something to identify my project by.

VoiceThread is more business-like, and I didn't really enjoy using it. It was plain and most likely most useful in a confrence or meeting for your work. One thing I did like was the way more than one person can comment on something, in more than one way, though.

All in all, Animioto was my favorite movie-maker to work with.
