Synopsis: Around six people go missing on the Appalachian Trail each year. Are you one of them? Take a drive with me and find out.

I developed this digital story using DaVinci Resolve. I had previously used it twice before (once for our media project and again for a personal project to practice). I did all my editing – including sound and video – in the software. For my Missing Poster visual, I used Microsoft Publisher.

All the footage was recorded on my phone while vacationing in North Carolina a couple of years ago with my wife (who graciously volunteered to be my face and hand model).

Synopsis: A dry erase marker reflects on it’s legacy and expresses a desire to leave it’s mark on the world. However, it is able to come to the conclusion that the life it lives is more important than what it leaves behind.

This video was created using OpenShot. The script I wrote was recorded in Audacity. I shot all the footage myself using an iPhone.

Synopsis: During World War I, an English soldier and a German soldier meet in a quieter sector of the Western Front during the December 1914. These two men experience the Christmas Truce together and fall in love before being parted by the war. They experience tragedy, but both live and they meet again in London in 1922. 

Notes: All images were found online. Some were edited using Canva. I produced the narration from an AI narration service, PlayHT, which gives full commercial rights to the prompter, as with most AI services. I used iMovie to create this video.

Synopsis: From a first-person perspective, the main character is describing in detail what anxiety feels like to a person who lives with it as a mental illness, the physical and emotional symptoms, and what types of behavior can stem from having anxiety.

Creation: Images were gathered from Flickr and Pexel, audio was taken from Freesound, and voice narration was personally recorded via Audacity. I used ClipChamp to put the pieces of the video – audio, voiceover, and images – together, BeFunky to edit images, and Audacity for the voice recording.
