Windows Movie Maker and Picasa - How to Make an Unusual Video - Steps Below

1- First use Picasa to make the photo collages. 

Click on pictures for a collage, click the green "Hold" button at the bottom of the screen to hold them in the "Tray."

Click the "Collage" button, in the middle of the bottom of the screen.

Click "Settings" on the left of the screen and try different types of collages.  Below the collage prevew screen click "Shuffle" to move the photos. 

Experiment with all the ways you can format the photos - picture piles, grids, borders, backgrounds.

Click "Create Collage" when you see one you like and save it to the desktop or your "Collage" album in Picasa.

2- Import the collages into Windows Movie Maker by Clicking "Import Media" and browsing

Drag the collages to the "Storyboard" or "Timeline" in the order you wish.

Write out narration notes, and record a voice-over.  If you need to get information on your topic, search the internet.

Play the video and redo the parts you feel you can improve. 

Publish the video on your computer.  Save to the desktop.

3- Go to Youtube, Click on the yellow "Upload" button and as it's uploading fill in the title and description.

The photos were taken with a Panasonic Lumix Digital Camera, 7.2 Megapixel, 6X Optical Zoom, that I bought a year and a half ago on sale.  Since Movie Maker is free, and so is Picasa, it doesn't have to cost a lot to have fun with multimedia. 

Whether you're a student, an adult paying rent or a mortgage, or a retiree trying to keep up with health care costs, it's possible to do this on an economical budget.
