Oh, how I would have loved to have had the RipRoar Creation Station when I was growing up. Any parent who has a young, amateur filmmaker in the house should take a look at the RipRoar Creation Station for a Christmas or birthday present. The whole package includes a “full-rez” (I assume 640×480) camcorder with built-in LED light and microphone, 2 green screens, tripod, and editing software.

Your kids can use this setup to place themselves on top of any image or video they want. The included software allows for easy uploads to popular video-sharing sites. The RipRoar Creation Station is recommended for kids 8-13 years of age. Obviously it won’t reproduce a high-definition camcorder and After Effects, but for $129.99 who can argue?

Available on September 25th, the RipRoar Creation Station is available for pre-order right now. You can watch a short video on how it works on the product page.
