Movie storm: Free software formaking movies

I know most of you are close to finishing your movie project, but if you're thinking of continuing your own movie-making beyond this course or working with kids to make movies, I thought you might be interested in this software that's recently become available.

Movie Storm is a stand-alone package--you don't need to film in SL or inside a game, but can script and create your characters and settings entirely within the program. It comes highly recommended by Hugh Hancock and Johnnie Ingram, authors of Machinima for Dummies.
