I decided to do my Web 2.0 storyboard project about how I got to where I am today as an advertising student. I used VoiceThread.com to construct a slideshow of images I own as well as creative commons media found on the Internet. I then used the record option to voiceover to tell my story-a touch I found a bit more personal than type. This was a great learning experience. I experimented with lots of the storyboard and presentation tools and I think it will be very useful when I'm looking to present an idea in a creative way. The business world is so used to dull PowerPoint presentations, but these tools are a great departure from presenting static material-they allow users to interact with the information and their audience.
I have embedded the thread below, so you can watch it here on my blog and comment in the blog post comments below just as you would any other blog post. This is the preferred method so the story doesn't get confusing with user comments on it.

Interaction Discussion-Glad visitors also agree that using my voice for audio storytelling was a good move. It definitely took way longer to do it this way, but good to see that the few that have commented think it's a special touch.
I really liked this! It was very creative and I enjoyed your humorous take on your previous major changes. However, they seem to have prepared you well for a career in advertising. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI found your decision to use your own voice very refreshing and personal. Most of the other stories I've watched used music, and while nice, I was pleasantly surprised by your choice. I also enjoyed watching you take lemons (many major changes) and make lemonade (a well thought out marketing career), which is a storyline we can all relate to... well done! Thanks for sharing.
