For the final multimedia project in the class, please choose two (or more) of the forms we have worked on during the semester and tell a fresh story.
You may work in teams or solo.
The only form that is off-limits is the blog, though you will post your project on your blog.
You may combine interactive maps, podcasts, slideshows, audio slideshows, and videos.
Examples: a podcast, slideshow or video that plays out of an interactive map; or a video that combines still and moving pictures.
Write a 300-word story to complement your project.
Deadlines:
Monday Nov. 28: Post a description of your project on your blog.
Wednesday Dec. 7: Project is due at the start of class.

Video Projects Spring 2011
Create a video package that runs 1:30 to 2 minutes, and a 400-word text to accompany it.
As with the audio slideshows, create a journalistic narrative with a beginning that introduces the subject, a middle, and an end.
Post the project on iReport.com, and embed the video on your blog.
Include sound. This can be natural sound or an interview, or both. It can also include your own narration; however, the project must include sound created outside of your group. Do not interview family members or significant others.
Any music needs to be royalty-free.
The text and the video package should complement each other and not simply repeat what the other says. For instance, a team could put together a video about rehearsals for “Lend me a Tenor,” and the text could review the play.
Intermediate deadline Wednesday Nov. 9:
-- Post the topic of your video project on your blog, along with the sound source or sources you plan to use.
-- Bring to class a minute or so of video from the video camera you check out. We will look at editing options.
Final deadline Wednesday Nov. 16:
-- Upload the project to iReport and embed the video on your blog, along with the 400-word text that accompanies it.

Soundslides Hosting Test
Hey, Soundslides hosting works!
Farewell Divshare. It's been fun knowing you.
But you just can't handle audio slideshows.
The key to Soundslides hosting seems to be the Export and Zip command, which was not available on the version of Soundslides I had on my computer originally.
It creates the publish_to_web zip file with no muss and no fuss.

Boy, is my face red
Those long, involved instructions for uploading your Soundslides project to Divshare and unzipping the folder and embedding the project on your blog?
The instructions won't work!
For some reason, Divshare won't let you unzip an uploaded folder.
Soundslides to the rescue!
Soundslides offers hosting -- free for a month -- and includes these helpful instructions for uploading and embedding.
I created an account that everyone can share.

Good luck, and sorry for the confusion!
