Today I discovered a cool new service called Animoto. It takes your photos and makes them into a dynamic video. You can upload photos, or have it pull from online galleries such as Flickr. As for the soundtrack, you can select from one of their many songs or upload one of yours. It's free to create a 30 second video, or you can create extended videos for $3 each. There is also an unlimited option that'll set you back $30 for a year.

I think this is really slick, and it frees you up from having to learn the complexities of hard-to-use desktop applications in this same space. Here's a video from our June 2007 camping trip that I put together in just a couple of minutes:
