Blog post: Week 8 Post: What are you making? How are you making it? Why are you making it?


I saw this on YouTube while surfing and thought it was really inspiring!  First of all I really like the song playing in the background, but the message is unique.  I love how they were able to pull types of advice together and draw pictures to resemble them.  They all go together very well and are true for life! Ideas like "Finish what you start" and "Don't be afraid to fail"  are all very applicable in everyone's life. 


My sound slide is going to be based around a year in pictures.  I plan to take a bunch of pictures and add songs that relate well to them (small snip-its, so that a few songs can be heard).  It is a family tradition to have a year in pictures every year which my aunt makes -- we all sit down on Christmas Eve with family and friends to watch it!  It's a great way to remember the events that happen and it is something that will last forever. I'm plan on using imovie, but this is only my idea right now! I want to incorporate ideas from our Presentation Zen book using ideas such as the rule of thirds and how things fall into place ( whether they spin or zoom in at the end on one single point ). :)

  1. This sounds like a great idea, I'm thinking about doing something similar with a white board and tell a story through stick figures. Although I'm not sure what I'm going to be telling just yet.

  2. That is so sweet that your family gets together on Christmas Eve to watch "a year in pictures" what a great tradition!

  3. I am really looking forward to seeing your project! Your storyboard in class was really great and I know that is going to translate for your slides. I like how you are using a concept that isn't forcing a message on the audience but instead captures real life, your life and we can simply take a journey with you. Can't wait to see it : )
