Animoto, which makes a video slideshow creation app, is based in New York City, with an additional office in San Francisco.
The company creates compelling video skins for photo slideshows. That means they take your photos and put them into a cool video format with some added music. It's quick and very, very easy to use.
When the company celebrated its fifth birthday this past January, it logged more than 6 million registered users and 30 million videos created. More recently, it launched an enhanced version of its platform geared towards professional photographers.
We stopped by their New York office to see how they do what they do.
At the office you open a nondescript door which leads you into Animoto's spacious main area with loads of natural light. There is a relaxed and friendly feel.
And you quickly see the faces behind that feel. Animoto is all about telling stories visually. They also believe in using employees' existing skills and passions ... all the portraits were taken by one of the company's developers.
Developer Justin Camerer (left), was originally from St. Louis, and has been with Animoto for two years.
