"Here Come the Mummies"

Were you at the "Here Come the Mummies" concert in Bloomington 10/27? I was and they were great! 

They started the show off by entering through the crowd and played non-stop after that. A very high energy show with great music. Love the bari-sax player! 

Photos and a few video snippets can be viewed HERE.

Thanks to the Castle Theater and 96.7 I-Rock for bring this band to Bloomington!!

New Animoto plugin for Lightroom 3!!!!

To read about this exciting (for me anyway!) tool just click HERE to head on over to the announcement. I'll download this new plugin, give it a try and let you know what I think by the weekend.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Update: I have downloaded and installed the new plugin. I am back to report that I really like it. It eliminates a step (uploading to Smugmug) for those situations when I only want to create the video but do not plan to share the photos online.

The plugin is fast and as simple to use as could be. So if you are a Lightroom and Animoto user you have to have this (free) plugin. If you use Lightroom but not Animoto then you need to give Animoto a try, you'll love it and so will your customers.

Here is a link to the first video I built using the Animoto plugin. Enjoy!
