My idea for a project:
-Format for Placemaker Online magazine – Newspaper with moving images embedded (“Harry Potter” Style, you might say)? Extraordinarily interactive. Sharp, professional.

Video options: Open-Source video editing program: Jahshaka.

Though iMovie for Mac might be easier to deal with, this program seems to have a lot of extra functions:
Animation potential (with painting too) and a variety of different effects.

Also, Audio-text button next to every article (use of garageband and audacity was mentioned). Audio text-summary button next to every article title. It will be a new style of newspaper. Pages will look like standard newspaper pages.
I liked the Smart City radio approach. Podcasts would go well along with articles.

I really liked the Photosynth idea (http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/129). I was inspired by that. I-pod touch style of navigation. Newspaper where images zoom (http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/features.html#photos). Something like that. Flash may be useful here.

Also, with Flash: http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/
That’s the kind of stuff that we can make. Awesome possibilities.

Brian and Pete were interested in learning how to use Flash:
Flash demos: http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/about.html

Flash also includes a tutorial, I believe, but video workshops are also very useful. This could also be good for our interest in using video to teach, relates to educational material (like Mollie is interested in) and we could consider using this technology for education for younger kids. Bright visuals could be captivating.
