Digital Storytelling

"Digital Storytelling is the modern expression of the ancient art of storytelling. Digital stories derive their power by weaving images, music, narrative and voice together, thereby giving deep dimension and vivid color to characters, situations, experiences, and insights. Tell your story now digitally."

Leslie Rule, Digital Storytelling Association

Here are a few digital stories made by me:

From ANIMOTO:

The story behind this is my grandpa was put on dialysis shortly before his 80th birthday. He lost a lot of energy and was really upset about it. At his birthday party, we hired these dancers called "Those Funny Little People," because he saw them once and they made him laugh. At his party, he forgot all his troubles and everyone had a great time. I figured that an Animoto video would be the best way to show this. It can convey the emotion with the music while showing all of the pictures in a nice way.

From VoiceThread:

This one is a demonstration of 3 Card Monte. If you click the small picture to the left of the video, you will hear a voice over of me telling you about all of the tricky stuff that is going on. I chose VoiceThread to do this because it would allow me to demonstrate and then explain a video using my voice and some drawing on the screen.

From Scrapblog:

This is a few pictures from my trip to Mexico with my Family. I thought this would work best in this format because it is like a scrapbook to show pictures.
