I like to test by fire, so to see if I have set everything up correctly and all who need to see it can, I add this little tidbit:
A while back I came across http://www.xtranormal.com/ in its Beta version. I went back to the site today and tried it out. This is a 'text to movie' program that allows one to type in text, select the characters they (look like Lego people), chose from a few gestures, and hit 'play'. I created a movie! (When I create a YouTube account, I will upload it there.) It only lasted a few seconds (about four short lines for each of the two characters), but I am looking to find a suitable outcome for a project my 8th grade will be doing and this could be it. Except it isn't free.
