This is a GREAT opportunity and as Allan said, you do not need a video camera.
Ken Burns produced 11 hours of a show called "The Civil War". Back then there were no video or motion film cameras. Most of the show is static pictures brought to life. Slow zooms, pans, scrolls.
Well timed presentations, thoughtful and voiced V.O.s (voice overs). He has since produced a lot of other series using similiar techniques.
We recently produced a 30 second PSA that has at its root a single picture. (no narration)
here for inquiring minds
Our next video will be a short, running about 4 or 5 minutes, but composed of about 30 pictures, and a moderated VO script. No video.
I've become a fan of this technique because it forces students to really think about what they want to say and how they want to say it.
If you watch professional news videographers, where ever possible they work to shoot short thoughtful shots. a few seconds here, a few seconds there. 99% of the time on a tripod.
So don't worry if you don't have a video camera. A group of good photos, and something like moviemaker which is on most pc's will get the job done.
