My 7-year-old daughter was transfixed by a

a Familjen song, and wanted to do something like that. So I sat her
down with a digital camera and told her to have at it:

Video made with linux (qiv, ImageMagick, mencoder, avimerge), to go
with music made with linux (seq24, specimen, fluidsynth, hydrogen,
etc).
Hey, that's some really funky music you got there, and the video ain't bad
either! Reminds me of something like Bob James, or Herbie Hancock. Are some
of the instruments live, or just software? Sounds like a band on my laptop
speakers/youtube quality.
Keep on coming with the funkyness, the video also matched the tune pretty
well!
Thanks! She made the video, and then she picked that tune from my "catalog" to
go with it.
I am very proud of her! She saw the Familjen video, and said "I want to do
that". After briefly explaining how it was done, I sat her down with a digital camera
and a pad, and off she went. Then I just ran the directory of JPEGs through mencoder to
make a movie and then avimerge to add the music track. A fun project for kids (and
grownups!) who like to draw.
