Title: Xtranormal
Post by: Rubystars on June 09, 2009, 04:15:46 PM

Another option for making videos could be to use the Xtranormal site. You can type and make videos with characters in it. Most people use it to make funny videos, but you could also make serious videos about a particular topic if you want to. The only real drawback is the robotic voice, but that's not too bad.

I made one about feral cats.

If we use this maybe we could start out by making some humorous videos, say, about the stupidity of Arab claims, etc. It's pretty easy and you can make different sound effects in the background, etc.

This is an example of a silly video someone made with it that I found linked on another message board (caution language):

One reason I brought the site up is that you can make a talking video with just one character in it for people that dont want to use their real voice.

I thought that was funny. Did you sign up for free on that website?

Yes it's free. You can make free movies with these talking characters. You put them in different settings and choose the voices you want to use for them. Someone could potentially make a serious movie with just one talking character if they are wary about using their real voice. People can also make movies with this without knowing how to use Windows Movie Maker or any other programs. It's like it says, if you can type, you can make movies. That means that more people coudl potentially be making videos.
