Mind Movies - build video affirmations with this cheap tool

I love the whole concept of "The Secret" and "The Law of Attraction". But writing down affirmations, or taking time to visualize can be surprisingly hard... that is until I stumbled upon someone's visual affirmation on YouTube. I had never posted anything on YouTube because I don't own a video camera... but with a new service called "MindMovies" you can create videos made up of slides.

Scroll down just a bit and hit the "Play" button to see the introduction to MindMovies and see an actual example that the company made.

With MindMovies you go through a 3-step process to create your video. First, using PowerPoint you write the affirmations you want to say to yourself, like "I live life to it's fullest". Second, you upload photos that make you feel good to the MindMovie software. And third, you select music you like. In the MindMovies software you combine all three, and it allows you to do all kinds of effects. If you're more advanced than am, and have a video camera you can also add video clips to your creation.




If you visit the MindMovies.com site you can see an example right on their front page, and they have an entire library of other examples to give you even more ideas of how to use the service.

The best news of all... they only charge $27 for EVERYTHING you need. That's what blew me away about this service. What's more, all of the software you download once you'd paid your $27 fee is free, and MindMovies provides step-by-step tutorials to create your first video.

For only $27 I can't recommend this service highly enough. And in addition to creating "The Secret" type of affirmations, you can create virtually anything else you want... how about a photo montage of your family's last holiday together. Or promote your business with a video. Or if your single create a presentation about yourself and post it to MySpace. The possibilites are endless... all for $27. My hats off to the creators of MindMovies... they've also figured out how to make this a "viral" service by offering $5,000 to whoever creates the most watched MindMovie on YouTube. I love free and cheap internet tools, and this is my current favorite of everything I've found out there.
