MAKING MOVIES, THE DO-IT-YOURSELF WAY, ON THE WEB (Benton Communications
Thursday, January 21)
-------------------------
Hey kids, let's make a movie!
With D.Film Movie Maker you can. The site allows you to pick a couple of
cartoon cHaracters and to write some dialog for them. The results, while
rudimentary, Mirapaul reports, hint at a time when computer software will
take over the nuts-and-bytes tasks of image generation, enabling amateur
filmmakers to unleash their creativity and begin to craft their own
small-screen epics with less concern for the technical demands and economic imperatives of Hollywood.

[un site super pour des 6èmes ou des élèves démotivés, il n'y a que deux
phrases à écrire, peu à comprendre, et le résultat est...magique!]
