The International Coach Federation of Orange County was celebrating it’s 10th anniversary, and Randy Tabor – our President – wanted to allow the Past Presidents that weren’t able to attend to still be able to participate. The above video is what I came-up with – and it was a great hit! The one question that I received often after presenting it was: How did I do it? I’ll show you this Friday, but here’s a quick overview:
1. I created a voice mail system for the Past Presidents to call into and record a quick one-minute audio
2. I downloaded these audios, and edited them into a 4 1/2 minute audio ‘collage’ using Audacity
3. I added a looping soundtrack to keep the movie at an up-beat pace
4. I then selected photos and uploaded them to Animoto
5. I uploaded the completed audio
6. Animoto did the rest!
Imagine, you could do this for:
1. Your PowerPoint presentations on your website
2. A commercial for your services
3. A testimonial video, with audios of your past clients
4. Inspiration for your clients
The possibilities are really endless, especially when Animoto takes out the time-consuming job of video editing!

I’m really looking forward to celebrating ICF-Orange County’s 10th anniversary – I hope you can join me! It’s sure to be a huge hit – information is below:www.icforangecounty.org
