A Tree Remembered


Last June 2009, I participated in a Digital Storytelling Workshop with the OSU Digital Union. I was urged to do this by a faculty member in Horticulture/Crop Science. I had a story idea and photographs to illustrate it, but I had never created a movie and was clueless as to how to do it. This was a unique opportunity. I partnered with my Mac mentor and we put it together. There were seventeen participants and we all worked together intensively for four days in their studio to craft the results. The program was created on the Mac iMovie - we inserted photos, worked on a narrative which was recorded in several takes, added sound effects and secured my friend, a piano teacher, to play a selection from Handel's music to further illustrate the story. It is posted here and eventually will reside on OSU's Knowledge Bank at https://kb.osu.edu/dspace/

But for now, you can find it here:
