Spring 2023

Synopsis & Background

Humorous digital story about a hungry turtle. It tells the story of the hungry turtle on its quest for food while also teaching the intended audience (children) what to not feed a turtle.

Just moved into a house with a giant pond in the backyard with hundreds of turtles. My kids ask daily if they can feed the turtle their dinner or leaves, etc. This video was inspired by that.

Audio narration recorded by me.

Summary:

Noah is a 7-year-old who loves being at the beach and anywhere with water. This summer he wanted to finally learn how to surf. After becoming discouraged when he fell off the board, he tried one more time and stood up. 

When creating the video, I produced the background music that is playing throughout the track and incorporated the sound effects during the creation process so that everything flowed well together. The videos that are shown in the story, were shot by myself on a GoPro Hero 9. I edited the photos in Adobe Lightroom, used Apple’s iMovie for video editing, and produced the audio in Ableton Live.

My digital story is about the love-hate relationship between my late grandma and me. The main character of my story is my grandma and how her hatred towards me vanished and infinite affection bloomed.

This digital story was created, directed, and edited by me using tools like Canva (for photo editing), Davinci Resolve 18 (for video editing) and iPhone Voice memos (for audio recording). In addition to the many personal photographs used in this digital story, I have used the following assets:

My digital story is about the journey that a book goes through once it arrives at the library. The main character of the story is a book and we follow this book through its first month at the library.

This film was directed, filmed, and edited by me. In addition to the film and sound that I recorded, I used the following assets:

I used iMovie on my Macbook Pro to edit this film. I also have Final Cut Pro installed and started editing the video in that program, but it was beginning to get to difficult. So I switched to iMove and the process went a lot smoother. I used Canva Pro to create my title card and ending card. I also used Canva to add the time description in the clock scenes. Since my voice actors were unable to complete their parts, I used my voice and filters to create all of the character voices.

Synopsis: This is a story told from my perspective when I decided to pickup a new hobby.

Self Created Media: Some sound effects, image of the tournament poster, and narration was self created.
