Got Fines

...Got fines?...

You have options. Keep reading to see what you can do to do instead of paying your fines.
See Mr. Smedberg for any questions.

Here in the Library we would love to have your fine money. (Pay it in the Bookstore.) That money goes back in to the library to purchase books and other supplies to run the Media Center. But if you'd rather... here are some other options.

What is it? A trailer about a book! A commercial. A movie.

Be careful of music. One of my movies got rejected from YouTube because of copyright laws.
Use relevant pictures. Find them, create them, take them or make them.
Yes, I will post these on our YouTube channel.
Keep them about 2-3 minutes

Windows Movie Maker, Photostory, iMovie, Powerpoint* (File Save As... Movie), Google docs (presentation*) (File Save As... Movie), Keynote* (File Save As... Movie), iPhoto slide show, Animoto.com (even has an iThing app to build movies), iThing App Splice is great, Your own Camera/app!
