Woo I made that movie! Thanks for posting about it. Btw, the workshop was a success and when I gave them "play time" a lot of them were making Xtranormals to intro their class or whatnot. Very cool use of Xtranormal!

How did you get the French version? It looks and sounds great.

Hi Dianne,
Thanks for sharing your French Xtranormal example. Judging by the ReTweets on Twitter it has proved very popular. Thanks too for the link on your wikispaces. Some great resources there: http://diannekrause.wikispaces.com/WLWOW

To get the choice to change the speaker's language, click the "character" icon on the bottom left. Then, you can change the character, but also it's voice.. many different languages to choose from!
