The Dream Day -- 18.7 MB This was last year's spring movie, written by Autumn. The video quality is set very low otherwise the file would be huge. Despite this, it takes a long time to load. If you have high-speed access, you should be in luck as it will play and load at the same time. Dial-up folks, find a good book to read while the video loads -- maybe two.

Science Fair Disaster -- 13.7 MB This was our first student movie using iMovie to edit. In the past we just made very rough cut edits beween video cameras -- terrible results. Like "The Dream Day" this movie takes a long to load if using standard dial-up Internet service.
