Compressing Slideshows?

[Bryce]

I am getting ready to present a slide show of a building being put up and having a little trouble compressing it enough to send via email.
So far there are 21 frames and some music, although the project is far from finished, but still the smallest I seem to be able to get the show (made in iPhoto) is about 11 Mb, so not really email friendly. And of course it will get worse as the presentation grows.
The images are 640 x 640 B+W's. Anyone have any good ideas to "make it fit"?

ULead PictureShow?

ULead PictureShow?

I had this program years ago, and if I remember right, they had a program in it to share a slideshow via email. Might be worth looking into.

Is there any way you could host it on your website so they could either view or download it?

Artorius-
I just looked, Pictureshow will not work on an apple (which I'm running). Thanks for the idea though!
I also do not have a website.
Seems like I ought to be able to put together the slideshow in PowerPoint but I just hate using that software; it is like digital cholesterol and SO frustrating to use!

I Googled for free storage.
Here are a couple of options for free online storage/sharing sites;

Hope this helps.
With the photos I have seen of yours, you might want to invest in a web hosting service.

Probably too late to help you but ProShow Gold is less than $100, easy to use and offers a hosting service. Simple program, nice results.

And Proshow has an excellent compression/uploading/sharing routine for slideshows.
