MOVIE CLIPS

(These movies were produced using Microsoft Movie Maker. The 320x240 size will run better on slower computers or those with limited bandwidth for downloading. Most of the movies are also available in 640x480 resolution, when the original was taken in that size on the Canon S3 IS digital camera. I usually recommend right-clicking on the link, choose save to disk, and play the video ouside the browser.)
