I created this movie using PhotoStory for Windows. This was one of my first attempts at using PhotoStory and I was impressed by the simplicity of the program. Given the option, I chose PhotoStory over using iMovie from mac for this project because the high school I work at has PhotoStory on the computers in all the labs. While I love iMovie and the more complex editing components it offers, PhotoStory allowed me to focus on the story line and the narration rather than a lot of editing tricks and film capture.
Overall, I really enjoyed this project. First and foremost, I can see how PhotoStory can be accessible to students of all ages, but especially with older students in high school, some quality and insightful work is possible with the focus almost solely on images and music to successfully convey an image.
I have attached the link to the YouTube site my video can be found at:
Enjoy!

Brendan – Fantastic Video!!! I loved it. Your choice of pictures and music was great but the message – how thought provoking. I was a prentender also and you are right – we aren’t dillusional when we pretend – we are just happy. I love to watch my kids pretend and wish that I could go back to those days when the world wasn’t “too big”. I have bookmarked your video! GREAT JOB!!

Very impressive digital “story”! It made me reflect my own life as well.
