MOVIE CLIPS

(These movies were produced using Arcsoft's Video Impression 2. The 320x240 size will run better on slower computers, and are quite a bit smaller. Some of the movies are also available in 640x480 resolution, when the original was taken in that size on the Minolta Z3 digital camera. I usually recommend right-clicking on the link, choose save to disk, and play the video ouside the browser.)
