We have developed a set of multimedia, Director-based movies to enhance and complement the teaching of CS1 using Java. From the beginning, we have decided to privilege simplicity and ease of use. There is one movie per concept and the movie is a simple, interactive, easy to use tutorial focused on a single concept, as opposed to a complex, multi-use, flexible tool. There is essentially no learning curve to use the movie. In this paper, two examples using Director are presented illustrating two typical programming concepts: looping and recursion. Benefits of using such an approach are discussed. A very brief overview of Macromedia Director is presented: Director is a software program to make movies, or dynamic animations, independent or part of a web page.
