I recently ran across Animoto, a new ultra hip slide show creation site which was reviewed at  Sellsius the Real Estate Blog Lab and GeekeStateBlog.  After seeing some of Sellsius's and Dave's creations I set out to mix one myself.  Here's what I came up with:

This is an ultrafast and upbeat style tour which I would say would be the perfect tempo for homebuyers who are always on the go. The best places to showcase these tours would be in Facebook or Myspace. I have had a lot of experience with video editing tools such as Adobe Premiere, Sony Vegas, and Final Cut and I could put together these slideshows myself from scratch, but it would take me hours instead of minutes. This is where Animoto rocks! It took me only 10 minutes to get a slideshow produced and online. I even put it on our Single Property Website demo here. The production flow is simple and the rendering time is decent. Another neat feature is it allows you to upload your own soundtrack for further customization.

Pricing is not that bad either:

This was produced using the 30-sec version, but you can get longer shows for $30/yr.

Since this is so easy to create, you might want to make it anyways even if you already have another virtual tour created for your primary sites. This allows you to segment your market by showing different tours to different customer groups.

Start a tour now and enjoy!
