This digital storytelling assignment was based around 10 random-ish slides, with which we were asked to find/create a cohesive story. For us, this meant adding our own little animated character to the pictures. Basically we just edited the panda in paint, making a number of different positions and expressions (around 25), and then just added many different clips of him onto the background photo’s in very short frames. Pinnacle studio’s is the program I used; it is a great starting out program starting at 30$ flat rate, but I have a feeling this process could have been easier and crisper with more features.

We have to give credit to “Marcel the Shell with Shoes On”, a great short animation that gave us the idea of putting a cartoon on the backgrounds.

This was a very fun movie to make, especially doing the voice. But don’t worry, it is my real voice, but I don’t sound helium-ated normally :). Thanks for watching!
