I have done just what you said but what was lost was the animation and that is something that I wanted to keep in the digital books-to-movie idea. But I have not used a voice recorder to do so sound and I prob should give that a try, even though it might add time to an already long project. I guess we give up time for quality and that should be a fair trade-off, right? Kevin Paul

I have done this in the past using powerpoint to create the storyboard and finished slides. It is really good for this because of all the editing options available. When I've finished the visuals in powerpoint I save each slide as a jpeg and then drop them in to moviemaker (or iMovie if you have a Mac) to turn them into a movie. You can use audacity to record an audio track and drop that in to moviemaker or I use my iPod to record cause the quality is pretty good and then export from iTunes as mp3 file and import that into moviemaker as the soundtrack. Sounds complicated but it isn't too bad really. Add your finishing touches in moviemaker and there it is. Just a suggestion.
