Digital Storytelling: Announcement

What is Digital Storytelling?

Digital storytelling is way of telling story that combines traditional storytelling with digital multimedia elements such as images, audio and video. Thank to this combinations of media, the viewers can get a better picture of the story being told and can have a longer impression with it.

What can it do?

Digital storytelling is a powerful tool in education. For teachers, a good digital story can capture the interest of students in the topic. It can also aid teachers in breaking down abstract concepts and introduce new ideas which help spark discussion in students. For students, digital story can gather interest in students and let them express their creative talent. Additionally, digital storytelling allows students to share their creation to people, thereby improving themselves through constructive critiques.

So let’s begin!

It is because of these reasons that I wanted to get into digital storytelling. I recently made a video documentary

I recently made a video documentary about how anime can influence a person’s life (you can watch it here)

After interviewing many people who share my interest in anime and listen to their perspectives I found myself revisiting the path that led me to this unconventional media in the first place. So I wanted to tell a personal story regarding how my life has been intertwined with anime and how it changed it ever since. This story will be an introspective of myself. Through it I hope I can show you how much anime mean to me as a person or at least entertain you enough so that you may get into it yourself.

The word Setsuna (刹那) means "moment" in Japanese, and that's how i want to be, someone who lives in the moments. "Setsuna" is also a character in Anime, who, despite flawed and riddled with contradictions, managed to reach for a better future, he's someone i can personally relate to.
