Once upon a time,
The art of storytelling is very important. It is very interesting that
there are many ways to tell one story. We have seen many storytellers talk
about the technology of storytelling. It’s a simple thing that we’ve known for
a while. We are currently living in the digital age. We have changed our life
platform since the Internet existed and it changed the art of storytelling
forever. Once books almost die, many digital presentation tools exist such as
Power Point, Key Note, iPad and etc.
To make storytelling simple but creative, I would like you to watch this
video.
This guy, Joe Sabia, is my favorite storyteller ever. He calls himself a
conceptor, creator, consultant, collaborator and curator who generates
companies and organizations in the digital art of storytelling. He shows how useful is technology help us tell stories.
Let’s talk about his style.
I love what he started his story with “Once upon a time”. His
presentation really reminds me of my younger age. It looks like he brought me
to a fairytale indeed. These words are interesting enough to bring me into his
story and then he started to play with his iPad. He didn’t use any presentation
tools to present his story. What he used is only iPad and application in his
iPad. His style is different, unique, skillful, fun, dynamic and creative. He
inspires me to think that there are many ways to present and tell your story. You
don’t have to use same platforms and it’s true that Keynote means nothing in
his presentation.
I read comments below his video. Some of them don’t like what he did. I
didn’t say he’s the best storyteller but he’s my favorite one. It’s not easy to
play with your iPad along with telling your story plus nice transitions. What
he did is the technology of storytelling that he mentioned in his topic.
