Very crude version 1 of my "multimedia brochure" is complete.
 I tried not to get bogged down on perfecting the script or trying to find
the perfect images or video clips. My focus was to complete a Version 1 -
asap.
 The plan: now that I have a "version 1", I can tweak and improve as needed.
Next I'll replace the place-holder images and video with licensed content
for a few dollars.

 Here's the simplest creation process I came up with...
- read and record flyer text into Audacity (www.audacity.sourceforge.net)
- drop audio recording into Windows Movie Maker (all Windows PCs have this)
- search www.BigStockPhoto.com for images
- search www.Pond5.com for video clips
- drop images and video that match narration into presentation
- save and upload to www.Youtube.com
- embed video on my website and into my email marketing

 I got a (shocking) quote of $3000 from someone who produces Flash
presentations, so being able to create some sort of multimedia content
within a few hours seems like a good alternative for now.

 Here's the multimedia brochure presentation...
