Some thoughts on things I’ve seen for October 1st from 12:06 to 12:06:
- Place-Based Digital Storytelling Modules – National Parks of America – As the latest Ken Burns series about National Parks hits the screens on PBS television in the USA a series of web tutorials about place based digital storytelling has been created by the the National Parks of America.
As an elementary introduction to Digital Storytelling this series of screen casts is excellent. Well worth a visit. My one comment would be that the example uses way too may zooms on the still images and some images are repeated too often – you only need to see a picture once. All the same, the site is a useful resource for anyone wanting to develop digital storytelling skills.

- BBC – Viewfinder: No more bright sunny days – The end of Kodachrome – a sad day. In this blog entry Phil Coombes captures something of the magic of using 35mm film – now all but lost in the millions of pixels captured with every shot.

- Short films saved for posterity – I an similar move the digital stories made in the BBC English Regions project “Telling Lives” were handed to the National Media Museum In Bradford. Over 350 stories were told by BBC listeners and viewers in workshops held between 2003 and 2005. Many of them are still accessible on the BBC Website
I was exec producer of Telling Lives which ran in parallel with the BBC Capture Wales project. My teams were trained by the team in Wales with excellent results.

Some thoughts on things I’ve seen for June 16th from 20:46 to 20:46:
- Department for Culture Media and Sport – final report – Digital Britain – the report. his will either open u[p a whole new range of opportunities for community based broadcasting – or it will be a shambles. Only time will tell. I fear that a 2015 deadline for digital switchover for radio is unrealistic. It fails to take in the impact on the listening habits of millions of radio listeners who have no intention of changing their receivers. It also fails on the resilience test. Analogue radio signals are better than current digital broadcasts in adverse conditions. Power consumption is an issue too. I have both digital and analogue digital receivers that power earpieces. The analogue runs for weeks on a AAA cell. The DAB rx has to be recharged every day.
More widespread use of broadband connections and improved training in its use is to be welcomed. I think digital storytelling has a big part to play here.
