There are desktop applications that are free that handle the main portion of this idea (using pictures with music to make a movie). The main example is microsoft photostory 3. The only thing left is hosting ETC.

It's true that desktop applications can handle most of it, but people don't know about most of those applications and are afraid to use them. However, they aren't afraid to upload some pictures to a website. They do that all the time in sending pictures in email or getting them developed.

Oh come on man, Windows Movie Maker comes with it, and this kind of stuff is ridiculously easy on a Mac. If people aren't savvy enough to know about how to use Windows Movie Maker, then they certainly aren't going to pay money to use some complicated website (and yes, I assure you, it would be complicated).

Good idea techguy. Without prior knowledge, I recently uploaded something similar called "graph-of life". Both ideas are similar in that they allow users to create public (or private) slideshows with their pictures. Yours incorporates music (very good idea) where is more focused on the chronology of a person or object (one's life). Good stuff.

Is there not something like this that can be done on myspace. My brother posted about 120 pictures of the katrina devastation and put Pantera's cemetery gates to it. albeit that you may not be able to see these except in myspace, but this would mean that all that has to be done is to make it available outside of myspace and a save as command. But hey if can do it then do it people would buy it yes but I do not think they would pay for the service.
