When our writers behind Saving Student Brian first described their vision for the video, they imagined software that would easily animate cartoon-like characters. We'd be able to manipulate the characters within an environment and maybe just add a voice track over the top.
Imagine my delight today when I saw a library promotional video produced using xtranormal. While the computer-generated audio track is a little creepy, the Playmobil-like characters are pretty cute. This is definitely a technology I plan on following. When I think of the hours and hours it took to create two minutes of animated video, I am really excited about the future of services like xtranormal.

Thanks for the link Stacey!
I made a couple more and am getting better at figuring out how to use pauses to help the voices sound a bit less creepy:

I like what you've done! The pauses have helped, as these voices sound more conversational. I am eager to do a little experimenting myself but the site is still down.
I wish we had easy-to-remember URLs. It makes such a difference!
