So far, creating the storyboard and script has been pretty straightforward. My challenge is in finding images that work with my idea. My preference would be to use drawn graphics, rather than photos, but it’s hard to find consistent clipart that shows everything I need. For example, I need clipart showing children doing all sorts of things, including: reading, writing, math, using computers at home, using computers in school, learning from a teacher, and working in groups. Whew!
I’m willing to create the graphics myself, but I just don’t know how. If you have any suggestions for finding or creating graphics like this, please let me know! For my video editor, I’m likely going to use iMovie or WeVideo as my video editor. Why? I’m already familiar with iMovie, so the learning curve will be shorter. I’m also not doing complex video editing, and iMovie is pretty straightforward to use for simple videos. I’m tempted to try WeVideo, since you can use it on non-Apple devices, too, and I’d love to learn a new tool. At this point, it may come down to which one I can use the most quickly.

I am in the same boat about wanting to try new tools in a time efficient way. I am glad to hear that your experience with iMovie was straightforward. That is exactly what I need right now. I wonder if teacherspayteachers might have some images that you could use? I always find lots of primary age appropriate materials on that site. Work smarter-not harder, right?

I know what you mean when you say that finding "consistent" clipart could be difficult. I've had the same experience as well, but fortunately I am not planning to use clipart on my video. I am opposite of you in the sense that I've used WeeVideo but not iMovie. I'd like to eventually learn iMovie, but right now I'm going to play it safe and stay with what I've used before (i.e. WeeVideo).

You make a good point on using your time wisely. As far as consistent graphics go, I'm wondering if you might find what you're looking for in Logo Maker or Piktograph? I'll be working through some of these challenges myself and those were a couple things I thought I'd try. If you should find something else, please share!

Jenny, I can totally relate to your concerns. I have those and even more than the whole team. I wish I could offer some suggestions, but I read Dana's comment about TPT having some resources. I thought of the same thing for my project.
