My friend Amanda had never seen a whole Star Wars film. When I asked her if she wanted to watch the original trilogy she said that she would, but that she already knew what happens. So I took out my voice recorder and asked her to start from the top.I then created some very basic animation in Final Cut to go along with her narration. www.fishrockit.com
