[Squeakland] generate a movie?

[Alan Kay]

But, if I read the original question -- it seems that it is about making 
movies that are playable in Squeak from other formats, including those that 
cameras use.

There are a variety of SW apps that can do this, and some of them are free, 
depending on which platform you have.

Cheers,

Alan
