Maybe a very short introduction, and a very short conclusion? I wish I knew of a source of funding, though I would have rushed to them first!

I don't want it to just be text. I plan to include lots of pictures, maps, and other media objects. I may do some brief talking head shots in the introductory video, but other than that I want it to be about the material. Plus, taking personal video adds another level of complexity to the development process. As for publishers, I am considering pitching it. I am thinking about publishers like Abingdon and Cokesbury that have a strong presence in church education. By the way, anyone know a nice foundation or similar group that gives grants to people to develop Bible software? I had planned to do lots of animation in the PowerPoint presentations.

I think this sounds great. Have you pitched the idea to any publishers? I'd be inclined to make the video with some talking head shots as well as PPT slides, or clips made up in PhotoStory so as to make the result more engaging. (It would make the presenter more "real".)
