Animoto.com offers a quick and simple solution to creating short videos.   You can use the photos/images on the Website or upload your own.  Use the music on Animoto or upload your own.   It is THAT easy!   The only difficult part is waiting a few moments to see your creative work.  Creating 30 second videos is free.   If you need longer videos you can upgrade to paying account.  Your video can be shared in a variety of ways including emailing it, embedding it on a blog, Website, or social network site. There are many uses for these videos - just for fun, a classroom ‘warm-up’, a promotional video, and much more.

Here is an example I created using some ‘cleaning tool’ images I had.  The title of the video is appropriately titled, ‘Clean Up’.
