I’m in the
middle of making a video that needs to tell the story of a sports season. It’s
not a video in the true sense—it’s more of a photo album on DVD. And yes, that technology
is rapidly becoming old-fashioned, but it’s the one I can easily make copies of
and hand out to the participants. So I’m going through thousands of photos in
order to construct a narrative. I do that with words all the time; it’s a lot
of fun to be able to do it in a different medium. I have a prologue, a cast of
characters, some injections of humor. And of course, I need the right kind of
pacing to carry my viewers along.
I’ve done
this several times now, and every time it stretches and expands my storytelling
abilities. What different kinds of storytelling do you do?
