I didn't attach any commentary to my video before I submitted it, so I hope this fits in where it's supposed too. This is a green screen project. I originally intended to put drawings the kids made as the background, but couldn't figure out how to do it in the time frame I left myself. I went on a search for backgrounds on the internet, but couldn't find any that really were free. I found a picture of some books and decided to use it as a background and dropped my green screen on top of it. It's not exactly what I planned, but I did learn something about green screens in the process. Now, I just have to figure out how to get the backgrounds that I really want.

Debbie, This was adorable. I get free pictures from pics for learning or wikipedia. There are also government archives or NASA sites with pictures. I might have played with contrast in color. The title was a little hard to read against the picture and the boy in the back blended in a bit. I hope it gave students pause to think about their commitment to read this year.

In my experience, all you need to do is film the artwork you want, compress it to quick time and use the greenscreen procedures in iMovie '09 and bring your movie on top of the quicktime clips. But you sort of need to know how long your action shots will be so your quicktime backgrounds will be long enough.
