College Humor has come out with some surprisingly helpful and totally hilarious Photoshop rap videos.  I will give a warning that some of the language is NSFW so you might want to list with your headphones on, but they actually contain some pretty useful Photoshop tips.

It was quite humorous to look at us 9 1/2 years ago and us now. We have been through a lot together, and I am happy to say have only gotten closer over the years.

So I thought I would share a few photos from over the years (don’t laugh too hard):

Animoto is “a web application that automatically generates professionally produced videos” from a selection of your photos and favorite music. It is amazingly simple to get a high quality video you can send to your friends and family, post on your blog, or use in a presentation. And best of all…it is totally free! (for a 30 second video)

To create your video you simply go to the Animoto website and walk through the easy 3-step process. First, you will need to select a bunch of photos you would like displayed in the video. They recommend no more than 15 for a 30 second video. With Animoto you can either upload them from your computer or grab your photos from a photo sharing sites like flickr, picasa, or photobucket. Next, you have the choice to upload your own DRM-free music or select from some of their tracks. Finally, you title the video and begin the production.

It takes between 15-20 minutes for the video to be encoded, and once it is complete you have quite a few options. You can either download the video to your local computer, email it to a friend, post it directly to Youtub, embed it in your website, or remix the video.

I created a Wii bloopers video to test it out, and it did a great job. Enjoy:
