Animoto and Voice Thread-Sorry For the Long Tittle!-Oh! Great Now I am Making It Even Longer! Ahhh! Help!

Animoto is a fun and exciting online service where you yourself can make movies by doing the simplest of things, or in another words, uploading any pictures from any site, or even your own pictures using a digital camera or other photo programs (iPhoto, etc.), video clips, and music of your choice. You can even make a movie trailer for your own movie! "It is so awesome," reports Tom from Animoto. Make videos about anything: You, your mother(s-Yikes!) or father(s-Yikes! again), brothers, sisters, teachers, priests, pets, friends, Link"celebrities, role models, and more. But these videos are not just limited to people: You can do anything: Your house (.....awkward), your life (like a mini auto-bio), or someone else's, your trips to a different country, or a video story!
Whatever! It honestly isn't that brutal to make one, and here are the steps how to:
STEP 1: Go to the Animoto site.
STEP 2: Make an account (and I am legally advised to tell you to go online with a parent...).
STEP 3: Upload photos, whether they are already uploaded to your computer, or they are still waiting to be uploaded on the Internet.
STEP 4: You can also add text, a personal message, or other video clips by uploading them from your computer.
STEP 5: You may also want to add a soundtrack. Animoto has a "growing library" of free copyright tunes, or you can upload your own.
That's basically it. Animoto then morphs all of your photos and tunes together to create the coolest video of all time! You can then embed the video anywhere online--It's that easy! If you're not satisfied with your Animoto when it comes out (which I guarantee WILL NOT occur), you can send it through Animoto again and remix it! Just give it a five-minute try!
If you need more help, when you get to the Animoto website, you can click on the "Learn More in Sixty Seconds" button, and a really good one minute tour video will be come up to help you understand more....Now lets compare Animoto to Voice Thread:
As I told you before, in my "Voice (Needle and) Thread" Voice Thread is a cool online free program where you can create a presentation, using typed words, or your own actual recorded voice, with picture(s) that help explain them. My Voice Thread was about books, and can also be on a variety of other topics. Voice Threads tend to be longer than Animotos, for you can only upload so many pictures and video clips, meanwhile you can upload just one picture on Voice Thread, and alter the picture, too, while you go along and talk using that one picture for hours (or minutes.....). What I was trying to say in that long, long sentence, is that in Animoto, your time length depends on how many video clips and photos you put in, unlike Voice Thread where you can talk throughout the whole video for as long as you would like (hopefully not boring your viewers), using just one picture or more. You can use Voice Thread at home for personal use, like entertaining your friends or visitors, or for fun when you are bored, the same for Animoto. You can also publish it online to share with the world (also with Animoto, too). You can use both Animoto and Voice Thread for school to make
presentations about a subject (such as a war in Social Science, and famous writers in Language Arts). There are many things to do with all of the online services I tell you about. And it is very good when important people see what you've shared with the world. Because when an important person sees something he likes that you've created, you're in luck.
Important Notice You do need an account to make a video. Accounts are free.
HERE IS MY ANIMOTO!
Also: What I have noticed, is while animoto is processing your "pre-video" into an actual animoto, it takes a long time. Meanwhile, Voice Thread takes no time because it does not morph into a video....

Today's Top Books

This is my Voice Thread. I have titled it Today's Top Books because I have included some of my favorite novels, including Cirque Du Freak and Harry Potter. Notice how the Voice Thread doesn't actually have actual voice (this is because I am honestly not a good speaker. If I was on a talk show, I'd be tongue-twisted for the whole horrid hour).....Enjoy!

By the way, there is no SYNTHASITE website! That was a long time ago and I do not want to talk about it.....Enjoy!

Enjoy! This is my second minisode(1) in the Chipmunk, Phone, and Radio saga or CPR for short. I have titled it A Christmas Special even though I celebrate Hanukkah, not Christmas, and when you watch you'll see why. I have only one more left! By the way, there is no YOLA or SYNTHASITE website. Like I said above, that was long ago....Enjoy!

Enjoy! This is my third and last minisode(1) in the Chipmunk, Phone, and Radio saga or CPR for short. I have titled it Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul and many teens know that there is a series titled this, and this series includes drama, excitement, and sorrow. This is sort of like a filtered version, and it uses Chipmunk, Radio, and Telephone! By the way, NO YOLA WEBSITE is involved! Do not try typing in the yola or synthasite website address, for a blank page will come up!

Henry's (and Morgan's Story) of Suicide

1. The Life and Times of Henry (introduction)
T
he young boy lied there, resting peacefully on the green. Below him was a steep, steep ditch filled with leftover trees, logs, woods, and plants from when it was deforested in the 1970s. The young boy had a name. It was Henry. Henry decided he'd continue sleeping until the break of dawn. When Henry was bored, he'd go to this special place he'd been sleeping on for the past three hours. Houses were also surrounding the ditch, but probably fell in the pit of it during earthquakes, leaving leftover logs and pieces of what were glass windows in some places over the ditch. Wildlife was everywhere, but Henry didn't even notice. The young boy called Henry had trouble going back to sleep once he had woken up. He was too excited about building a house himself with his father the next day on one of these ditches. Long ago, most of Henry's relatives died, including his mother, Mary, who died the night Henry was born, in 1990. Henry was going to make this home out of sixteen logs, four for each wall and two glass windows, for Henry and his father to see the beauty of outside nature. Henry's father did not own a car, for he couldn't afford one. His father was naturalist, and also owned a shop filled with plants and trees and the most majestic herbs that could cure just about anything. Where Henry and his father lived, there was only a large schoolhouse and small homes throughout the town, and Henry and his father liked it that way. Many people visited the shop of Henry's father's many times, even though it was a long drive. It was worth it. The schoolhouse was one mile away, and Henry was happy his father made the decision that he wouldn't go until seven. "Henry, you shall not go to school until the age of seven. Until this time, I want to teach you everything I know about nature and wildlife," is exactly what he had said to Henry, even though he knew the law required Henry to go at the age of five. And Henry's father stuck to this statement. By the age of seven, Henry knew just about everything on nature. The wildlife surrounding him, how the Earth was formed, what beauty was destroyed long ago, how our air is cleaner than regular air, and so much more. He also learned how the ditch they were soon to live near was made. "During an earthquake long ago, two plates moved in the opposite direction of each other along the fault line, making a large, large hill. In the seventies, workers deforested much of our land, and after one decade, and my fellow customers and I dug out the hill to make a ditch for trapping burglars so they couldn't enter our land. Everyone who was a good citizen knew about the ditch so they couldn't fall in," said Henry's father, "and the ditch is about one quarter mile deep."
notes from henry before death...
Time passed by and my father and I settled in our new-built home. When I became seven, I knew it was time I had to go to school, so my father enrolled me in the nearest schoolhouse. It was one mile from where we lived, so we walked there, for we didn't have an automobile. Everyday, my father would walk me to the school, and I absolutely loved it. Our house contained an old stove in the corner, a candle that lit our home that hung on the ceiling, two beds, one small one for me, and a large one for my father, and a table with all the casual stuff on it in the other corner: a telephone, a clock, and something called an ice box. An ice box was what all people used instead of a fridge before the refrigerator was invented. An iceman came by everyday with ice and we stored the ice in our ice box. Our iceman was my father's very good friend and best customer, Harold.
back to what the author knows about henry.....
But this is not what the story is supposed to be about. This story is supposed to be how Henry and his love he made at school and both or one of their DEATHS. Death is a weird thing you know. If you ever had experienced surgery, you wake up all groggily and then you realize you've just experienced temporary death. I unfortunately experience this "temporary death" and I thought So this is what death is like. Death happens to all of us, and it doesn't avoid a single creature on this planet, whether it is the tallest man on Earth, or the smallest fly you can find. Death certainly did not avoid Henry.....Here is where the ultimate story of death really starts:
2. Socialization at School (seconduction)
After a while, Henry reached the age of eight and entered his first day of his second year in school. Henry was very friendly, and had no social problems. His only problems were the academic ones. But that didn't matter much for Henry, because he knew he was set for life. He knew all about geology, nature, and science, which Henry and his peers did not study at school. He was going to become an excellent naturalist when he grew up, to take the chance his father wanted him to. Mathematics would never matter. Reading and Writing he had trouble with. His skills in these subjects were much lower than his classmates' ones, mostly because in the years of education he missed, Kindergarten and First Grade, the number one thing you learned was how to read and write. But Henry became so interested in Reading and Writing, he made it his goal to learn everything about these subjects by the end of Second Grade. Henry was great in P.E, but was absolutely horrid in artistic skills...he barely could hold up the paint brush and paint a smooth, solid-colored line. Anyway, Henry did make many friends in school. His teacher, Miss Bernardo the Fourth, or Miss B-Four, as she let us call her, was sweet as sugar-coated candy. Yet Henry's P.E teacher, Mr. Opal Jenkins the Sixth, who let us call him nothing but the sort, was as cruel as Miss B-Four was nice. Henry never invited friends over, not because he was embarrassed of his home (in fact he took pride in it), or because he wanted to spend time with his father, but because Henry liked to do things himself. He got into the habit of racing to a nearby tree what looked like the size of the Mississippi River by himself, eating by himself, jumping on a trampoline he made out of logs, leaves, and soft stuff he found by the ditch to make it jumpy and bouncy himself, swimming in the nearby creek himself, and even washing his own clothes, doing his own dishes, hunting his own food, knitting his own clothes himself. By Spring of Second Grade, Henry did almost everything himself, and learned a lot more than he knew about his favorite subjects (of course next to Science): Reading and Writing. On the first day of the new season, a girl named Morgan came to Henry's class. And boy, was love in the air. Henry was absolutely savoring over the tiniest thought of Morgan. He constantly made eye contact with the beautiful young woman named Morgan. Morgan sometimes made eye contact back. Morgan did not have the faintest idea why Henry kept doing this, for she did not know who Henry was and obviously did not feel the same way Henry thought of her as she thought of him. Morgan did want to be friends with Henry, so she slowly and maturely befriended him. First, she made eye contact with Henry before Henry made eye contact with her, and then actually said something to him. "Hello," she said with a beautiful voice Henry had never heard, "my name is Morgan, and I was wondering if you would like to be friends with me." You would think Henry would faint, for he was so in love with this girl that actually said something to him, but he didn't because this is a true story, not a fantasy. Henry took no hesitation when responding back, "Boy, would I!" He didn't care if he was acting weird. He loved Morgan to tears. Henry had never heard Morgan's voice, now that he thought about it. He saw her talking, but never actually heard her in the process.
3. The Final Chapter in How Henry Committed Murder (thirduction)
Henry stopped doing things himself for a small period of time. Henry wanted to do things with Morgan. Of course, like all boys would have to say, Henry did not have the guts to ask Morgan on a date. Morgan and him would always sit over the ditch and talk to each other every weekend and on Friday nights (which he liked most because he thought they were the most romantic). It was nice watching the sun set with Morgan, Henry would think to himself. Henry only tried to make one move on Morgan: A month after he had met her and two weeks after they started hanging out on the ditch, Henry leaned over and puckered his lips for Morgan. Morgan (thank God, thought Henry) did not notice (which caused sorrow to fill Henry's body, but he soon got over it) and continued to relax there with Henry, just talking. After this, Henry never dared to even put his arm around Morgan. Exactly on Henry's fourth Friday hanging out with Morgan over the ditch, he noticed signs surrounding the ditch and surprisingly people doing things inside of the ditch (and it was a deep, deep ditch). Morgan wasn't there yet, and speaking of Morgan, let me tell you where she lived. The schoolhouse was exactly one mile away from Henry's home, and Morgan's family had a house built halfway from where Henry's home was. There was a large hill separating Morgan from Henry, and Henry sometimes felt bad for Morgan, because she had to walk a mile and a half to get to the schoolhouse, but her mother would always take her just like Henry's father would always take him. The signs read MEN WORKING and PLEASE STAND AWAY FROM THE CONSTRUCTION SITE and when Henry read them he wondered what was going on. Pretty soon Henry heard the head construction worker in the ditch shouting, "Hey! Get out of here! Leave, scram! Kid, move on!" Henry thought the worker was crueler than his P.E teacher. When Morgan came over, ten minutes later, she also wondered what was going on. Trust me, Henry was much angrier than Morgan was. He knew this was the end of his place to sit with Morgan. Morgan was only friends with Henry in her mind, but in Henry's mind, Morgan meant the world to Henry. Morgan wasn't happy about it either, though. She knew Henry was disappointed about the spot, but she tried to convince him to get a new spot for them to hang out. But Morgan did not understand. The workers weren't just destroying the ditch, for they'd have to have a reason. And that reason why mostly why Henry was so mad. They were destroying the entire town, building huge houses for rich men and their wives over it. Hotels, malls, shopping strips were going to be placed over the town in which both Henry lived in. I cannot describe to you what happened after this. I can give you little details, which may or may not help you understand why the workers continued shoveling and digging and building and destroying. Henry over time tried to convince the workers to stop digging, but that didn't help, especially because all workers except the head worker spoke only Spanish. A thought soon ran through Henry's mind: Why wasn't his father or the rest of his customers or anyone who lived in our town helping? Why was I the only one? Why...Henry couldn't tell all his fellow citizens to help, for children had to be respectful to all adults, but he could tell his peers. And he did, but that didn't work. None of the children listened to him, for they all didn't care. They all wanted to have a shopping center, a mall, and live in big houses. Of course, they didn't know that they were going to be the ones to get kicked out of their small houses and not get be invited back to a big mansion.
Look, I am tired and sleepy, and cannot go on with the story. I will have to tell you only part of it and go directly to the conclusion:
One Friday night, when Morgan knew she was not supposed to meet Henry at the ditch because the workers were well...working. But Henry telephoned her and told her to come. She asked why, but Henry preferred not to tell her, so she came anyway. When Morgan got there, she was surprised to see a pack of black and white police cars surrounding the ditch. But when she saw Henry's body lying face down in the ditch, probably a quarter mile down, her surprise went away. Instead of surprise, she felt a new emotion: Suicide.
Where, you ask, is Morgan today? Well, she now is in sixth grade, attending a middle school somewhere in America. Morgan was inspired by Henry's passion to read and write, so she decided to write a book. She had to switch around the years in her story, and was so modest she wrote it under a pen name. Where is that story today? You have just finished reading it.

Unfortunately, I am not yet a user and cannot embed for you viewers an actual voice thread in this post. Although I do not have this, I do have for you a wonderful survey of my friends from the Middle East and other areas of the world. I have not actually met them, but I write to them every Friday when I can, and they are my pen pals. One week ago, on Friday the 18th, I sent them a notice about Voice Thread, and a week later they have all sent me back what they have done with Voice Thread:
Utopian (YOU-Tope-E-An) Kinishikoba (KA-Neesh-A-Ko-Va) from Maryland, Saudi Arabia says (translated into proper English):
Omg! I love Voice Thread. My father would not let me buy a computer, so I had to walk seven
miles during midnight, when the Indians come out and hunt for food, to the Saudi Arabia Public Library. I managed to avoid the danger of the Indians and when I got to the library, I was so mad I could have murdered that night when I heard the Internet was closed from 6:00 PM to 9:00 AM. I walked back the seven miles and later the next day I managed to go on voice thread and share my thoughts about sushi that tastes good forever on the Library computers. Search the term how to make everlasting sushi on Voice Thread and my video will come up. I was the only one in the library, so the librarian let me speak as loudly as I wanted. I talked about how some people say sushi causes diseases and other untrue information, and shared with the public how sushi causes diseases is simple rubbish. So search how to make everlasting sushi now!
Karren Kombersmitchledoodles (Comb-er-Smith-frogging-doodles) from Woodland Hills, Japan said:
I made a Voice Thread about a child who received an education at Girard E
lementary in Woodland Hills, Japan in the 1930s. In the middle of elementary education, she had to move to Charcoal Elementary for Anxious Girls Under the Age of Thirty and Over the Age of Five or CEAGUATOAF (See-You-Glued-A-Toe-To-Your-Self) for short. Her experiences at CEAGUATOAF were horrid and I cannot (translate or) write them down in this letter to you. But I did explain almost all of the events that occurred in her lifetime in my voice thread. So search the term girl searching for dreams in 1930s Woodland Hills, Japan at Girard Elementary and Charcoal Elementary for Anxious Girls Under the Age of Thirty and Over the Age of Five or GSFDI1930SWHJAGEACEFAGUTAOTAOTAOF (Girl-Calm-Down-You-Do-Know-It-Is-Not-The-Thirties-Any-More-Wiggle-It-Out-Groovy-
Seventies-Style-Loaf-Of-Chewy-Bread).

*Special Preview But there is not just Voice Thread when it comes to making cool presentations the one I made above. Animoto is a really awesome program that allows you to make really cool movies by simply uploading some pictures, music, and choosing some other background effects. Animoto does the rest...Let me tell you the full details in my upcoming post: Animoto

How to Use an Image Generator

Image Generators for Dummies
Written by Anonymous Storypedia

Once you reach your second stage of real and unfortunate education, you enter Middle School. Middle School has it all. The nerds, the tallies, the shorties, the eighth-graders (in some places, the ninth-graders too!), the crushes, the classes, and especially the HOMEWORK...I will not go into HOMEWORK but I will mention to you that this blog originally (August 2009) contained nothing but one post and my blog was called
Homework or Child Abuse? which basically asked the children of America, Is homework child abuse or is it educational work to do at home to make us learn? My thoughts were that homework was child abuse, but I will not go into that for now. This post is about how to use an image generator. Image generators are websites or places on the web in which you can upload and/or edit photos to share them with the entire world. Some of the most common image generators include Facebook, Flickr, and Myspace. Editing on image generators include transforming photos into black and white, sepia, sketches, painting, monochrome styles, and more. You can use image generators for many occasions. One example would be when you do not want to use many pictures you have uploaded to your computer. This is because if your computer breaks down and looses all its memory, your pictures will be gone forever. You can backup these photographs and other images onto an image generator or photo-sharing site, such as the ones I mentioned to your above. My favorite editing sites include both Big Huge Labs (bighugelabs.com) and Image Chef (imagechef.com). If you don't want to share your photos with the world, but you still would like to back them up on the Internet, most photo-sharing sites allow you to share your images privately. Editing photos for school can be easily done and put into a report or assignment. Also, if you are writing a story for Language Arts (or any other assignment/subject) you can easily make a cover page for your report using an image generator. You can edit photographs into paintings on Big Huge Labs, turn them into your teacher, and then say you painted it yourself. Who knows? Your teacher might be dumb enough to give you points for it (no offense teachers). Image generators can also be helpful when creating cards for your relatives and friends, and also for personal use. Using image generators besides at school can easily be a priority. Maybe if you want to make a Youtube video, image generators also have video effects, so you can use them for Youtube too. How about making posters for your room? I've seen it done millions of times. I have and will continue to create my own photos using image generators, and some are right here in this blog, one being in this post. You can also create bumper stickers for your car on image generators, creative interactive puzzles on image generators, and more. Here are some frequently asked questions by random children from all across the world:
Sarah Fisherman from New Arizona, Texas asks, "I have created an image on Big Huge Labs on my Macbook. I want to take it and drag it on my desktop, but it won't drag. Is there another way?" My answer to Sarah's question is, "Yes Sarah. Since you are using a Macintosh, press Apple, Control, Shift, #4 at the same times and perpendicular lines will appear. Drag these lines where the edge of your image is and highlight what you want your picture to be. It will then appear on the desktop. This is called a screen shot. For Windows users, go to Help and search "screen shot".
Utopian Kinishikoba XIII (KA-Neesh-AUH-KO-bA) from Jersey City, Japan asks, "My Windows computer keeps on breaking down. Help me!" My answer to this question is, "This is what you get for buying a Windows computer. This is called KARMA!"
An example of making a word mosaic on an image generator, Image Chef, is shown to the left.
CONTEST: Comment on this post, and guess what you think the word mosaic shape is in. Hint: Invented in 1983, this nowaday need is owned by almost all of the world. Copyright 2009 by Anonymous Storypeida.

Sandy and Me: The Movie


My first Blogory (see Vital Tital for meaning; last sentence) I wrote started out as a small doodle of a story about a kid who grew up in the fifties that I made because I was bored.. But then I added a vital character. Her name was Sandy. Sandy and Elliot slowly grew up in Elementary School, Sandy being picked on by larger and younger kids, and kids her own age, too. Elliot was one of them. In fifth grade, when Elliot had two years of Elementary School left, his parents kicked him out of the house and into a boarding school for the rest of his education. But this all changes in the movie. In fact, there are several romantic scenes (look, it's what the public wants!) and funny scenes (fifty's jokes), yet the story is very dramatic and you may cry at the end, which is why the movie is rated PG-13.
For actors and their roles, click on the movie picture to the left and it will enlarge it. Pedros Yucca and his gang conducted a survey for me on the fifteenth of September to see whether people who saw a sneak preview of the movie liked it better than the story. The sneak preview was shown on September 14, 2009 and here is what the survey results were:
  1. Peros Yucca himself said, "Wow, (Anonymous), you did an amazing job with this movie. But shouldn't there be a trailer? Your fans must need a trailer before they see a movie, just like every other movie. This isn't the thirties anymore, (Anonymous). Although the sneak preview was pretty good. I like the book better, though. Maybe you could put a sad song in the trailer?...See ya." My comment on Pedros's comment was, "Well, Pedros. I really want to do that, but I don't have the right software. I'll keep on trying, though."
The other comments were not posted to do disapproval by the author of the posts.

SHOWN TO THE LEFT, OUR TEACHER, MS. WEISS, ASKED US (MADE US) TO MAKE A CLASS ASSIGNMENT COVER SHEET AND I MADE ONE AS YOU CAN SEE STOP. A PROGRAM AT OUR SCHOOL IS CALLED WARP STOP. WARP STANDS FOR WRIGHT ACCELERATED READER PROGRAM STOP. WE READ A BOOK, FILL OUT A FORM AND A BOOK CHART, AND THEN WE TAKE A COMPUTERIZED TEST ON WHICH WE ARE GRADED FOR STOP.

Photography at Another New Glance


Big Huge Labs Edition
I am sure you and your buddy have traded some baseball cards in your lifetime. No? Basketball? Football? Any other sport? Well, I haven't either. But guess what! There is a program known as "Big Huge Labs" in which you can edit photos in the coolest online way yet! There is over 250 different ways to edit a photo, and I cannot tell you them all, but I will mention the "FX" special effect. You can change a picture to a painting, sketch, b&w, monochrome, color, charcoal, and so much more. In my story, The Baker and his Shop, I took three photographs that went with my story, then edited them on Big Huge Labs, and pasted them into my Blogory (see A Vital Tital for meaning). Go to bighugelabs.com now! Notice my very own trading cards to the left and right above. Roald Dahl is to the left and Jerry Spinelli is to the right. To the left, you will see a trading card for an illustrator who illustrates Roald Dahl's books. Quentin Blake is an amazing artist and I think he deserves a trading card.
