Create A Video with Google’s New Search Story Creation Tool
In my inbox this am, I saw a news alert Google had created a new tool to create movies based on your search queries. Based off Google’s first-ever Super Bowl advertisement featuring a search based movie comprised of screen-shots from Google search, Google Maps, Google’s translation services, and even that cool Google tool that tracks the status of international and national flights.
Simple and intuitive to use with choices for your search query results for all things search-able, the preview window lets you see your different media results and builds a movie based of 6 queries with a 7th that is followed by “Search on,” and reads the single line of text displayed at the end of the advertisement. Several choices of music genres and moods within the music allows you to build a movie geared towards drama to sci-fi. If you like what you created, you can upload it straight to your YouTube account and start sharing it.
Here’s the skinny on why Google created this tool! The movie maker is going to be used as a widget for a contest, brilliant. Google is going to get users to create video content, upload it to YouTube, and send the link to Google as an entry to the contest. The winner gets a signed copy of Maria Bartiromo’s “The 10 Laws Of Enduring Success,” Chris Anderson’s “Free,” or Douglas Merrill’s “Getting Organized In The Google Era” — or all three.
