Romeo & Juliet by clasic_lasuperlativRomeo & Juliet Trailer This is one machinima example that was completed by my Y10 Information Technology class.  The module was challenging partly because we used consoles and PC games as raw material.  This produced files in both mp4 and avi format.  Finding an editor (free/cheap) that that could handle both and still allow creative freedom was difficult.  Matt and Mitchell used AVS Video Editor (trial, hence the watermark).  Other students used Movie Maker. It’s a start.
