The Art of Digital Born Fiction





Animoto video


For the Animoto Video Assignment, I decided to discuss the idea of "Inanimate Alice" as a piece of art.  There are many ways to display and discuss a narrative, including through a piece of visual art. I believe digital narratives such as "Inanimate Alice" become art pieces in their own right. By shifting through Alice’s life and her emotions, we are given a visual story, sounds, interactive links, video and even photography. All these art forms link together to create an emotional response of the reader/ viewer.


This was an awesome learning experience! I will certainly use Animoto in the future, as it allows for video and imagery and text to be produced into a simplified frame-by-frame video.

    Great work and very creative. I love your connection between the art and emotional response it can provoke. Storytelling should be about invoking emotions.
