This week’s assignment was a treat, hopefully for both me as the creator and you guys as the audience. The task was to make a video out of still photos using the platform Animoto. Although I have done this sort of thing before in a previous course, this time around felt like a whole new experience.
I worked to create a story out of only twelve images, which is a lot harder than you may think. The narrative I chose to tell was a video diary of my visits to my dad’s house, who lives an hour and half away from my mom, where I mainly stay.
My parents are divorced. So, I thought it would be interesting to show that experience from the child’s perspective. As much as I am accustomed to it now, I recognize that traveling almost two hours to visit your dad is not normal for everyone.
Thus, I decided to shed a little light on my personal situation while also relating to children of divorced parents everywhere. You can watch my video below:
In this Animoto video, I use pictures to document my trip from my mom’s house to my dad’s house.
I hope you enjoyed watching my video as much as I enjoyed making it. As I said in my vlog, I encourage you to try it out for yourselves. Take a couple pictures, add some text & audio, and see what magic you can come up with.
