A Digital Story...it moves and plays music!

For this assignment I used the Animoto.com website to create a digital story using downloaded photos, images and music. This was challenge, but once completed, quite rewarding. I didn't create a masterpiece, but I did create, and when it comes to me and computers, that my friend is quite an accomplishment. I tried to appeal to the masses and convey some humor in my story, although it did have an underlying meaning only known to myself and my professor. Was my story important? It was disguised not to be, but it was important to me as it symbolically portrayed an event in my life. Because this was my first real attempt at a digital story that moved, and with some personal issues going on, this assignment took me a lot longer than expected. I had issues with fitting all my pictures within a 30 second window and have the music match up with the photographs and story that I was trying to tell. I never did accomplish that feat to my satisfaction, but nevertheless I was still relatively happy with what I came up with. As aggravating as this assignment was in the beginning, middle and end, I did have fun with it which is why the next assignment came with a little less aggravation and a little more fun.
