As thanks for 1 million video views here's a Behind the Scenes at RimstarOrg video, a look at how I make my movies.

That includes these tools:
- video editor Sony Vegas Movie Studio
- 3D models done using Blender
  http://blender.org
- 2D drawings for transparent overlays/annotations, diagrams animations using the drawing program that comes with OpenOffice
  http://openoffice.org
- GIMP, a Photoshop-like image manipulation program
  http://www.gimp.org

The videos I used to demonstrate things were:
- Preview - How a Van de Graaff Generator Works
  This is the green screen one with me sitting on a Van de Graaff generator.
