If you have a storybook with pictures consider putting it on a DVD. It can be done using a combination of PHOTOSHOP, GARAGEBAND, and IMOVIE.
Let me go back a couple of years. My wife, Rosie Horner, is storyteller and inspirational speaker. She wrote a story called, Crumsnatcher Gets a New Name. This story has been dramatized and told to both children and adults in diverse settings.
I decided, as a fine artist, to create images of the story on large poster boards a little over 3 ft. It took a while but wives can be persuasive plus I fell in love with the story.
This year we decided to capture the story on a DVD. Since I primarily work on a Mac I brought the images into IMOVIE after doing lots of work in PHOTOSHOP.
I used a program called GARAGEBAND to create the music. Three of us, a friend, Kevin Thompson, my wife and myself did the voiceovers for the characters.
We even did our own sound effects. The first edition has been done and tested in front of children and adults. We are now doing the revision to make it longer and add more images.
We also invested in a better microphone, duplicating and printing equipment. This will help to reduce the cost of production.
Of course there is the marketing and distribution process that is still evolving.
You can go to my blog to follow the step-by-step process. Give me an email and I will be glad to share any insights I have.
So pull out that story and follow the steps in the blog as I post them almost everyday.
But know that YOU CAN DO THIS!
