Project Numba Two, playa.
Second project is not coming so well for me. I've got the ideas and most of the media that I want to use, but I'm struggling mightily with the software to get it to work. Google maps is not letting me upload my pictures to it, so I'm thinking of abandoning that idea all together and just linking Google maps straight to my "Second Project Blog." Basically, the idea is that there will be several points on the map and each one will represent a "journal entry" for a specific day, and each journal entry brings my character closer to his goal about discovering his origins. I have a lot of video uploaded that I'd like to use, cataloging my character's journey around Morgantown. I also have the idea for a fake "phone call" recorded on audacity that I can post into the blog to further the idea about sound. The whole mystery about the origins is supposed to have a comical undertone, as I'm trying to make fun of the idea of the conventional "Charles Dickens Style" narrative. My narrator is a hat, but he is totally cool with being a hat, only, the rest of the world thinks it's weird (trust me, walking down high street on Saturday night with a hat and a camera gets you some funny looks). Anyway, the mystery will not really be resolved, but will have a climax where the mysterious antagonist "Mike King" will enter the story, leading to my character realizing certain things about himself.

Louie: Hm, I'm not sure about the Google Maps / image problem. I'm happy to meet with you and see if we can solve it. It may be something about the location of the images, and I can think of ways around this.
I think the journal format is excellent. Combined with the Charles Dickens narrative and the fact that the narrator is a hat --> I think you've got a winner. So, there'll be images of the hat, narratives of the hat, and audio (phone call, etc). All this sounds great.
