Abstract

Want to break up the monotony of a presentation or lecture? Looking for a way to appeal to visual learners? With only your typing skills and your creativity, you can create short or long animated movies for library instruction with free online text­-to­-video tools. In this lightning talk, Jim and Kim will show you the basics of creating movies with xtranormal. Many free design options are offered with xtranormal: character selection, scene selection, gestures, facial expressions, camera angles, music, and sound effects. A brief survey of other free online text-­to­-video tools will also be included.
