Imaginate Video Samples
Remember the software we posted about a while back, Imaginate? It's like PhotoStory on steroids, offering much greater control, although at a higher price as well. I stumbled across these sample videos created by someone using Imaginate - and the results are quite impressive! • Lilly the Mole (WMV file) • Gettysburg (WMV file) |

That is impressive! I was beginning to wonder what resolution they had to scan the page in at whilst watching the Mole movie, but gradually realised that each frame in the filmstrips is actually a separate photo that Imaginate must have layered into the story.
I think the Gettysburg movie is particularly well done. It worked much better for me than the Mole movie and shows off more of the capabilities of the product.
Nice :wink:

The links aren't working now. Darn, sounded interesting, too.

Indeed, the cat one is kind of cheesy, but the Gettysburg one is quite cool.
I actually thought the whole thing was one giant file, but you don't think so? I've downloaded the demo and will fiddle with it...I asked for a review copy months ago but I don't think they take Digital Media Thoughts seriously. Yet. ;-) |

No - I think the final point that convinced me that Imaginate had joined it all together was the negatives - they aren't negative :-) They are positive photos and there just isn't any way that could be produced naturally.
I think that the piece of paper, the negative strips and the Post-It notes, etc, are all fake.

Definitely - everything other than the photos themselves is generated. |

Yeah it works now. Pretty slick, thanks for the post. That's a neat way to add an extra feature to a family vacation DVD for pictures of things that didn't make it into the video. But $199 is pretty high, don't you think?

Absolutely - this is targetted a prosumer/professional markets, people doing weddings photo shoots, things like that. At $199 you know they're not targetting Joe Home User who wants to create layouts of family photos. PhotoStory, however, is aimed squarely at the Joe Home User market. |
