 * **[|The One Minutes, Jr.] -** A collection of one-minute videos made by students in countries from around the [[image:file:clip_image002.gif width="92" height="158"]]world! (If they can do this, you can too!) Some of them are even done on cell phones! Be SURE to preview them before using them in the classroom as the content of some is NOT appropriate for classroom use! http://www.theoneminutesjr.org/mmmcms/public/index.php?thisarticle=250


 * **[|Eejit’s Guide to Film-making] -** This fantastic site contains simple, but comprehensive tips to help amateur movie makers with the pre-, during, and post-production process.

The other pages include information on costuming, editing, lighting, shooting, and special effects. http://www.exposure.co.uk/eejit/
