Cut the Crap: Making Quality Student Movies
A growing library of short tutorials on making quality student movies. Check back often.
Episode 1: Stay Online: Find LEGAL Images and Videos with Creative Commons Search (and Download YouTube, etc, with Zamzar.com)
Episode 2: Skills with Stills – Focus on Your Photos with the Ken Burns Effect
iMovie ‘06 only, though the idea of good KB Effect applies to any movie with photos.

This one was a toss-off. Just an example of how using Zamzar to import public domain or copyright-free movies can lead to more interesting possibilities than still photos or original video only. (I like the “Schools as Homework Factories” metaphor.) Original post here.
