I have used and instructed students to use Animoto (www.animoto.com) to create videos and presentations. Teachers can apply for a full-access account for their students that is good for one calendar year. Students can create full-length movies using text and images. Audio is also included or can be uploaded to be included.
Students had to create a visual presentation of the Bill of Rights. Several chose to draw or collage pictures to describe the first 10 Amendments. I had others who did not feel savvy enough to attempt a new technology, but the 40% I had that attempted Animoto found it easy to use and exciting. They had wonderful discussions about appropriate images to convey the meaning of the Amendments.
This is an example of what can be created using Animoto:
