Tarrytown NY - A Video Collage

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams NY Realty - 120 Bloomingdale Road #101, White Plains NY 10605

All right - I'll admit it - I finally got tuckered out on 30 in 30  blogging challenge.  Up front and center for today was going to be an in-depth blog about the village of Tarrytown. 

So, I pulled a ton of photos from my archives - took to the streets and took even more photos.  I tweaked and cropped and then put them into video format using Animoto....and then completely ran out of steam when it came to discussing the local market.  To make things worse, I've been having some computer issues that just won't quit which has slowed down my productivity... So for today  -  with my addled mind on "hold"  and my computer running slower than my brain - I will simply present the video without any compelling statistics.

I am always happy to answer your questions and you can speak to me directly on my moble phone: 914-374-5529.

Hi Ruthmarie...You do not need compelling statistics when you have such compelling photos.  Very, very good.

Hi Jon - I have a few of them scattered around. I really like what Animoto does. Their music selection isn't what I'd really like.  I could do with a few more appropriate tunes.  They work really well and you can remix if you don't like the way it came out.

Hi Kate - glad you liked it.  The photos take time - but it is worth the effort.

Ruthmarie....your video was very nice....I loved the shot of the Hudson with the bridge at a distance....you didn't need any statistics.

This is so great.  You are so talented.  Tarrytown is so neat - historic and classic.  Beautiful views.  I'm just starting to learn videos/youtube.  Someone helped me last week so I understand a bit better and have SEO optimized.  I'm just starting to use tubemogul, too.  I have more to do and learn here.

Hi Barbara - I'm glad you like  Tarrytown - The bridge is the Tappan Zee  - and it is at the heart of a major controversy regarding its rebuild right now.  Right now its the bridge that can take about 5-8 minutes to cross or about 5 hours....I had a call from a friend not too long ago.  She was on the bridge who just wanted to chat.  She had been stuck on the bridge for 2 hours and needed human contact.

Tarrytown is the sister town to Sleepy Hollow where we have the Headless Horseman Bridg...

Hi Debbie - I'm also learning about video seo... I think that its very important because it ranks well if you know how to use it.  This is from Animoto.

Hi Greg - I'm not making it to 100 - I think that quality is more important than quantity.

Ruthmarie = great post of Tarrytown.I Just hooked up with Animoto the other day. I did not sign up beyond free yet but they come out nice.

I echo the frustration on a slow computer. It took me forever to go through these.
