I really like Movie Maker. In class, I was having difficulty with the book I had scanned (I used Powerpoint to save it) so I made a movie of my dog, Foxie.
Later, I took photos and downloaded them to my computer for a movie maker version of "Joshua by the Sea" by Angela Johnson. I narrated the book as well. I then showed the movie to my students. We watched it several times and then my kids made their own variations of "Joshua by the Sea" poems and illustrated them.
My students really enjoyed this. They liked the transitions and the narration. This is another tool that I would use again in my classroom. In fact, I recently wrote a Donors Choose Grant for the equipment for my students to create their own digital books and Movie Maker productions.
