Meet Movon, a Free Design App That Instantly Creates "Micro-Videos" from Still Shots for Sharing Life's Smile-Inducing Moments

HADERA, Israel, March 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Pictures are worth a thousand words, but they only capture a single moment – a frame, a slice of life. What if you could glimpse into that picture and see what was happening – the actions, reactions and special moments surrounding the click? No, we're not talking video – we're talking Movon!

Remember how in Harry Potter pictures in books and on walls were alive and in motion? Movon, a new mobile application (http://movon.co), makes the fantasy a reality. Movon takes regular still shots from mobile devices, and turns them into 1.5 second micro-videos that show the "full picture" – movements, expressions and emotions. 

No need to watch long videos to get to the point - Movon's are quick, and pack a punch in a few split seconds. When you see a movon, you don't just say, "nice" and swipe on – you can't help smiling and laughing and watching them over and over again. Movon is being offered free and will stay that way, according to Meir Ben Shitrit, CEO of Movon:

"Movon lets you create mini-clips built from a sequence of pictures, just like an innovative photo booth," says Ben Shitrit. "It's not a still, it's not a video, it's something new – it's a movon. And the minute you look at one, you can't stop smiling. Especially pictures of your kids – every time I take a movon of my daughter, she's jumping, or laughing or making funny faces – you just don't get that in a regular picture!"

With one click, users can capture moments, create movons and share them on Movon or with friends via social media, text messages and email. Follow your friends and see their movons, comment, interact and share. 

Movon's special features include:

• Ability to use front and rear camera
• Tons of cool effects and filters that add the artistic touch
• Funny and creative clipart help you express your creativity
• No more endless posing for the "perfect" shot - choose your favorite frame from the movon and share it as a still photo

Movon is simple, easy to use and turns anyone at any age into a creative genius.

Movon was first imagined by Ben Shitrit while he was traveling in India. He was so struck by the people and scenes he saw. He wished he could share the moments and experiences - not just the still shots - with his family and friends, without making them sit through hours of boring videos. When he arrived home he started playing with the idea, and finally was able to realize his vision – and the movon was born.

Movon is available for download on Google Play and the Appstore. To learn more about Movon, visit: www.movon.co.
