So there's a new app out for the iphone that I though you all might be interested in. It's called Qwiki, and it works by turning the photos on your iphone into a minute long slide show while also setting a random song from your iTunes as background music. I actually hesitated telling you about it because it's so easy that I didn't know how constructive it would be for the course, but it is an interesting app. What's most significant, I think, is that the app is being marketed on it's website as a storytelling app that turns your photos "into a beautiful story to share." This is, of course, another example of the way that technology and apps in particular are changing what we consider stories or compositions, and these types of new compositional strategies are precisely the sort of thing you should be thinking about when you construct your final video projects.
Anyway, for those of you that are interested, you can pick up the app from qwiki.com or the app store.
