I removed my video of the 1000 dictionary words for now... it's not funny without the background song, and I'm too unsure if usage of the song is "fair use". The Storyteller itself will still work of course.

This is too cool. How do you save a composition?

Flem, you can copy the resulting URL and send it to friends... or bookmark it.

I am a grad student studying web design, how did you accomplish this? Is this php?
Thanks

Leon, yes the Google Images Storyteller is PHP along with DHTML (JS + CSS + HTML)...

Here's how to screen-scrape Google Images with PHP5:

In this case, I'm actually using PHP4, and a small "getTextBetween" function with which I grab the first Google Images result. Here's the source of the "grabOne" function for your reference:
