Awards — Professional Photographers of America (PPA)'s 2008 AN-NE Marketing Award for Best Use of Multi-Media

Specializing in senior portraiture, it is imperative that my video slideshows are cutting-edge and appeal to the tech savvy teen client. With the help of Animoto, my slideshows now have the look that makes my teen clients feel like they just stepped out of their own MTV style music video.

While Animoto serves up plenty of action, it also gives each video the perfect amount of flavor. This means that my newlyweds are just as blown away by their videos as my seniors. Add the fact that these videos are automatically created, and Animoto becomes completely unfair. I love it.

I'm known as the 'coolest studio in town', and Animoto helps PROVE that is true. I just love it when a High School Senior pays more JUST TO HAVE an Animoto video. They say to me over and over... 'Those videos are so COOL!, I want that!!!' Animoto is working for me 24/7/365, making me look cool. You've got to love it - it's like printing money!

Evolution is true. It happens. It is the way the world is. Great photographers that move the spirit have always been rare. In every case they are unique, poetic, products of the heart. Animoto can make anyone a great storyteller.

I'm always looking for ways to beef up our 'First Year Collection'. Animoto has given me a great add-on for our clients - easy to produce, and wows them every time! Plus our clients just love showing off their videos and sharing them with friends, which in turn is great marketing for the studio. Thanks Animoto!

Animoto videos are an amazing way to capture the energy and attitude of the events and personalities that I shoot. The videos also offer my clients a way to quickly share that energy and attitude online and at events with their audience. Animoto is a fun to watch, great to listen to and an excellent tool for showcasing my work. Animoto is my new best friend!

I'm new to the pro photography industry, so it's imperitive that I come out with the big guns early. Blending the video capability of the Canon 5dmk2 with the photos of each session provides a cutting edge product that my clients are impressed by and look forward to. As a brand, DMP is committed to providing memories (not just pictures) and looking forward to each client saying, "iHeart dMart"!
