Raoul's Feelings - A Slidecast

If you follow this blog you will know that Yanick has been learning his times tables by rapping them (he got certificates for his raps BTW.)
Now his brother Raoul is here we are trying to help him learn English. Of course I have found it necessary to engage the help of the web and its wonderful 2.0ness.
Having trawled the web for resources I came across MES-English, which is a mine of EAL resources including downloadable powerpoints and flashcards. We have been using these at home to go over vocab, so I thought I could try and add to it by putting together a slidecast. As the slides are all copyright I emailed Mark at MES-English to ask his permission, which he duly granted, and for that I am very grateful.
I then recorded Yanick and Raoul going through the ppt, with Yan introducing the vocab and Raoul using it in a very simple sentence.
We then chose a beat from Garageband's loops and added the bass and guitar they liked. In then jiggled with the voice track by adding some reverb and a bit of phaser to the guitar track...et voila.
Here's the slidecast.

Bien fait Yanick et Raoul! Sounds fantastic - is there anyway of saving a this as an mp4 file? It's the kind of thing we want to make up for our seniors in French and Gaelic, if I ever get time to myself in school I'm going to try it using a karoke maker.
