TVnima would be ideal for those who’ve always wanted be on TV, but have been burdened with radio faces. Actually, the site allows users to create news programs using 3D avatars, photos and videos.
Once you’ve loaded your media, you play the director and call all the shots, deciding where to place the camera, what angles to record, and what tracks to use. There are three screens to work from: the Project screen where you load previous and new work, the Customization screen from which you tailor your presenter and the set, and the Director screen where you can add media, and camera gestures on a timeline. Several different software are involved and TVanima is still in alpha, so some things may not run so smoothly. Besides that caveat, TVanima is cost free and it at the least you can flex your journalistic chops.
