Kiera's Story

This project was an emotional journey for me. It's hard to believe that at times I actually forget how hard it was when Kiera was born. It must be because she is so fantastic now! This has been a story I've wanted to tell for some time, so I am grateful I was nudged into it finally. Beyond the story though, I thoroughly enjoyed playing with different camera angles and the editing process. I hope you enjoy.

Poetry in Motion

It's been a while since I last posted. I was feeling quite overwhelmed by the responsibility of a family, job, school and AR project, but I'm beginning to feel like my old self again. Ready to triumph over the online world of my master's degree. I'm gaining oodles of ideas for the classroom. I hope to have time to sit down and chronicle the different ideas I have for digital storytelling that I want to make a reality next year.

Here's my latest project: Poetry in Motion

Although it's overused, I love this Robert Frost poem. Through the filming I tried to grasp the theme of questions and questioning one's own decisions. Throughout the journey the boy looks back for approval...but then there's the journey of the boy into the man. At the end, the man looks back and asks the boy if he's followed the right path, in order to honor his inner child. My only regret is that I didn't have a good tri-pod, and the filming is too shaky...otherwise, I'm quite satisfied with the outcome.
