Griffin’s Story

The story is about a man having a hard time adapting to retirement. He samples new activities that do not pan out and by happenstance realizes the best way to fill his time is doing something he’s always enjoyed.

The video shots are stock footage from Videvo. The two original images are derivatives of creative commons assets (Griffen’s Presentation and Title). The rest were creative commons assets from Flickr and Snapstock.io . The audio narration was original but background music and sound effects are from Freesound.  It is worth mentioning, several of the Gruffalo images have the same name but they’re different.

Adobe Premiere was used to do the entire project. Voiceover was recorded straight into the video, and edited in Audition (concurrently) The original images were edited in Photoshop. Simple edits, removing text and inserting an image into the computer screen.

The Drive

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).

About the Story

On its second-to-last voyage, in 1867, the Atlantic Steamer was saved by an unexpected crewman and his sauerkraut. This story is a true tale that has been passed down to me, as my ancestors survived what could have been a horrendous maritime disaster if it hadn’t been for a quick-thinking cook.

The Process

Photos were edited in Photoshop and exported as PNG files, then imported into a Canva presentation. Slides and assets were duplicated and objects were moved slightly in each slide to create the effect of animation. Text was added to sections to follow the narration to give the impression that this is a non-fiction storybook, and also accessible. Photos were edited with filters to give similar continuity throughout, and the slide durations were adjusted to match the length of the narration. Finally, the project was exported from Canva and imported into GarageBand to record the narration and balance audio.

Description

My favorite genre when it comes to listening to podcasts is mystery and suspense. For this assignment, I chose to go for a podcast that uncovers the mysterious incidents that have been captured by humankind and still remain unsolved. The podcast will go through various conspiracy theories as well as strange events. The conspiracies will cover everything from Aliens, Werewolves, Bigfoot, Yeti, and strange UFO sightings. As the podcast proceeds way deep, it will go through various facts and details that were overlooked during the investigation of those events and the podcast will conclude with the assumptions about what could have happened during those incidents.

When it comes to mystery and creating suspense, usually a music that has a little bit of creepiness with soft audio does the job. I chose this electric guitar and keyboard music because it felt very similar to the music the investigation shows used to have which I used to watch when I was a kid. I added ghost laughter in the audio to give a little bit scary vibe. I ended the podcast intro with my voice merged with the music.
