Visiting Ol Pa- Part I

For my longer story telling task, I chose to use Voicethread. I had known a bit about Voicethread before hand from the video I had to watch for my tech task #7, so I was already familiar with the purpose and benefits of this website. I had a bit of trouble starting, just like anyone who's first signs up for a new website, but after 5 minutes, I was going with the flow. I tend to have trouble speaking into the microphone, telling a story freestyle, so I wrote up quick sentences for each photo, much like a story board.
My story is based on a trip to Lumsden to visit Ivan's Ol pa. It was nice going through these photos, remembering summer, during the cold climate right now. Hopefully I can make a follow up story to this: Summer oh nine- Visiting Ol pa-part II. How epic is that!
Enjoy!

Story in a Blink

While reading Amber's and Erika's blogs, they demonstrated how to create a short story video by using animoto. I decided to give it a try as the graphics and editing was done for you (which unlike for Erika, I prefer), and quick and easy to use. It was hard to determine what story I would tell, it's not too clear because there isn't much text or any audio recording, other than the music, but I think the idea of a tattoo convention came across clear. All photos were by me, no flickr this time. Hope you like it!
