Daniel Meadows

• Biography– British photographer, educator and digital storyteller– Defines digital stories as "short, personal multimedia tales

told from the heart." – Meadows goes on to describe digital stories as "multimedia

sonnets from the people" in which "photographs discover the talkies, and the stories told assemble in the ether as pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, a gaggle of invisible histories which, when viewed together, tell the bigger story of our time, the story that defines who we are."

Steps for Movie Maker(Actual Movie)

place in your folder– Do not save as a movie

• Once it is saved as a movie you cannot edit or add anything to it.

• Save the project often• (Because Movie Maker is a free

program it does tend to freeze and you may lose everything – especially when you add effects, transitions, narration, and music)
