I think it is a good cause, and people should be aware of what is really in the household products they are using.  I applaud the makers of the video for taking a new unexpected approach. Do you think it is effective or appropriate?

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:
