Reflection on digital storytelling

Digital storytelling was a lot of fun. My partner and I both lived on campus so meeting up was not a problem. We had a good idea going into the project and started on a high note. We discussed in class the outline and basic dialogue for the assignment. Kristen was the brains of the operation and handled all the techincal sound effects and camera angles.  I supplied the camera and was the main actor throughout.  Because we shot everything ourselves we had no issues with copyright and it was easier to piece together pictures and video.  It was really fun to actually act and shoot.  The difficult part was the editing process, which was more time consuming than anything, but my partner, who is familiar with the imovie program, really nailed it. The outcome was better than i expected.  It gave an important issue some attention and brought together a few laughs as well.  Im proud of our piece and really enjoyed the experience.  Good partner, fun topic, entertaining outcome.
