“The stories and anecdotes we share with one another are the ways we let each other know who we are, where we come from, and where we are going, and most importantly, what we care about.”
Dana W. Atchley III (1941-2000)
Digital storytelling is a workshop-based activity helping participants create their stories. The workshop will walk you through the process of storytelling and set of basic digital media tools in creating your story from story idea, writing, voice-over recording and editing, gathering and editing of images, and all the way to its final stage of producing your one to three-minute video or digital story.
Your Story, Your Voice
Like traditional storytelling, digital storytelling is all about stories – important events, ideas, people, and places in our lives. We tell our children about our family tradition, we talk about our work, we tell our students about our country’s heroes, we share about the legacy our community or group founders have left behind, we tell our clients how our company started, and so on. With the use of multimedia tools, this workshop will help you craft your story, combine your audio narrative with your images (photos, artwork, videos, etc) and music to finally create a one to two-minute digital story or video that you can use for personal, work, business, educational, or outreach purposes.
Create awareness, presence, and voice for your business, community, school, or cause. Empower each other. Build understanding. Win advocates. Process, preserve, and pass on your stories.
