Storytelling in the We Media era
I'm guest-blogging over at the Media Center's We Imagine blog on morph. I began with this short video to illustrate a transition happening in our culture today. This outing to Capitola, Calif., was more about the form than the content. I did it to demonstrate how easy it is today to make our voices heard the globe over, whether in a video, podcast or text essay.
It's getting simple enough for mainstream society to take part now. What started as a trickle of video bloggers and podcasters when I wrote "Darknet" two years ago has turned into a torrent of thousands of amateur works being created each day, with young people in particular latching onto visual storytelling (a better term than digital storytelling, no?).
We're trying to find our rhythm, pace and voices. It'll be fascinating to see how well we succeed in the years ahead.
In the We Imagine blog, not everyone agrees that blogging or videoblogging adds anything of substance to the conversation.

This state-of-potentiality captivates & slays me, J.D. Too exciting for written words alone.
This made me cry tears of happiness to be part of it in even a small way.
Dang.
