Stockstock Film Festival Annotated
What is it?
Stockstock is a film festival consisting of short films made entirely from stock footage. We select a limited amount of stock footage and give it to you; your job is to make it into some kind of short video presentation.
Interested?
Read the rules, download the footage, make a film, and submit it to us. It’s a great way to have fun and get some practice editing video, whether you’re a pro or a complete beginner.
- Cool idea and fun way to train students in basic editing. Next Fall? Next week?

Spresent.com - Presentations for New Web
- Kiss Powerpoint good-bye. This web-hosted alternative is amazingly easy, and more muscular than Microsoft at the same time. Oh–and it’s free.

Spresent.com - Presentations for New Web
- This is the most powerful online Slideshow maker I’ve found: embeds videos, photos, voice, AND feels like Powerpoint feels. THIS ONE LOOKS BEST.

VoiceThread (web-based Slideshows)
- This is totally free. You need a mic and to read the photo upload advice. VERY cool idea for creative people. And you can embed this. But it’s photo and voice only.
(The only way to add music is by playing it into your microphone, though.)

One True Media - Beyond slideshows, dazzle your friends with amazing photo and video montages.
- This online slideshow-maker looks way more powerful than Powerpoint. Edit everything online: photos, graphics, videos, music, text. (But can you embed the slideshow? Not sure….)

These are some fantastic resources. I do a digital storytelling workshop in the summer for 11-14 year olds, and have been pretty unhappy with moviemaker over the last two years. The fact that I have so many options to play with now makes life much easier.
Still having issues with finding a hosting service that doesn’t distort my SnapzProX screencasts or chop off the audio. Any suggestions?

Patrick,
Sorry for the late reply. Try iShowU. Much better than SnapzPro.
