    1. Interesting that they make a distinction between documentaries, and digital storytelling in other forms. Is it simply because documentaries intersect with journalism, or is there another qualifier? It seems they are pointing out the difference due to the fact that many documentarians share stories of others, while digital storytellers, according to StoryCenter, share their own experiences.

      I've seen a short snippet of this, but I suspect it's longer and has more depth.

      Apparently the entirety of the piece is just the 10 minutes I saw.

    1. I put some visual noise on the big screen if I’m not using it for work, usually an art film or a landscape documentary, muted.

    1. So, what is a stringout?  Simply put, a stringout is a sequence of shots that a Story Producer assembles and gives to an Editor to serve two purposes; 1) to give the Editor a “head start” on getting through the raw material that has been shot, and, 2) to give the Editor a “road map” on what the story of a specific scene should be. 

      String out.
