Finally Mobile Thing 23 - 'Digital storytelling'
And it involves a couple of Discoveries, that I discovered some time ago, so it is good to re-discover them again.
The first is ABC Open, we did quite a bit of work with ABC Open when we had a local producer, but since Larissa left the district, not a lot has happened. But here are a few of projects we did.
A post titled 'The island of No. 2577', 'Coming to a town near you' and 'Treasure hunt for the 21st century'.
The other discovery was the Slideshare site, set up to "share what you know and love through presentations, infographics, documents and more". For this I compiled a couple of slide-shows.
Scary to think that was 7 years ago. And even scarier is how long ago it was that I created my Animoto videos - one was 9 years ago.
Water music
Then of course there are the millions of 'stories' on YouTube, that cover the whole gambit of themes and stories (one of the best would of course be the one on 'Wimmera in photos')
Following the 'Thinking Points', is the question - when considering archiving local history stories digitally, what is more important? to select your storyteller based on the interesting, informative stories they have to tell, or to utilise people with backgrounds and experience in film and digital technologies?
Really it is discovering what is of greater importance to get the story across with an authentic, but maybe untutored voice, or professionally produced that people will actually watch/listen to. I've seen some hopelessly amateur 'cringe-worthy' videos that would have benefited from some assistance. And some 'commercial' videos that were so full of gimmicky art techniques that you missed the message. In the end it is whatever gets the story told accurately with pathos.
So end'th the 23 Mobile Things story.
