flying on the dandelion breeze: June 2013

Easy to use by adding a flickr account/gallery to the form
Seems that a square works best, e.g. 500x500 pixels or smaller
Very simple layout, one image at a time and you can see thumbnails when hovering
Clicking on a photo brings up any information on the photo's flickr page

Created with flickr slideshow.

SnapWidget
http://snapwidget.com/

Easy to set up, just fill in a form
There are a few nice instagram apps around, but just remember the original photos are mostly phone camera quality
SnapWidget seems to be made for Instagram, looks very nice in a sidebar
With this I could make the koffiafilmfest instagram gallery but the other apps require you to be the accountholder
Clicking on the photo will take you to a new webpage with all the thumbnails in the slideshow, i.e. it takes you to that instagram page

Gallery Slideshow

Need to create an account
instagram, flickr, facebook and upload from computer
can add youtube audio; special effects e.g. snow
easy to use, can be updated with new photos and an integration between photo platforms
Works as a video so you can't really click on it, the youtube video you use for audio also shows up in the corner
Probably not really what we're looking for if it's to showcase film posters

I also found one called Juicebox which looked professional but you need to create your own thumbnails

Thumbnail design is embedded into the gallery, the slideshow itself can be viewed in fullscreen
Lite/Full versions available, the limitations to the lite version include max 50 images, no social sharing support
Seems like a bit of hassle because manually you need to make your own thumbnails or use a third party plugin e.g. photoshop, lightroom, picasa
