Sample PSA from Pascal Marcelin on Vimeo.

I 've created a sample PSA to demonstrate the basics of Windows MovieMaker to all 11th grade students. Thanks to Ira E. for the voice-over, even though he was sick. I demonstrated how it was put together using MovieMaker, Photoshop and Zamzar. I've finally given the MovieMaker seminar to the entire 11th grade and their PSA's are starting to come together. It was made using Windows MovieMaker (editing), Photoshop (title) and Garage Band (voice-over & music). Hopefully, I can see some creative PSA'a that show ADVANCED use of MovieMaker. (i.e.- video clips, still pictures, narration, etc.)

Today, I began the 11th grade Windows MovieMaker Seminars. The 11th grade students had an opportunity to work in Windows MovieMaker and edit movie clips. They viewed and critiqued sample Public Service Announcements which included still pictures and motion video. They learned how to use Zamzar to convert online video clips into mpeg files for use their PSA's. MovieMaker allows them to splice the video and use only the segment that they need. Advisors had the opportunity to sit in and learn as well. I can't wait to see some of the finished work.
