Commons Tout – Captura en vídeo los mejores momentos de tu vida Definido ya por muchos como el Instagram de los vídeos, Tout nos permite grabar desde un iPhone, o enviar desde cualquier vídeo de Youtube, un fragmento de nuestra vida que sea digno de compartir. En el caso de hacerlo desde Youtube, solamente tenemos que incluir la url y decidir el origen y final del pedazo de vídeo que queremos enviar a Tout, publicándose en su galería, donde podemos disfrutar de material de varias categorías. Aunque aún estén dando los primeros pasos, es una buena forma de empezar a competir con Youtube (a largo plazo), registrando de forma instantanea pequeños momentos que quieran ser registrados, dejando en Youtube creaciones de mayor calidad. En mi imaginación futurista veo a Tout como la colección de vídeos entretenidos de menos de 20 segundos, a youtube como el conjunto de vídeos más trabajados, más extensos, y a Vimeo como la base de vídeos profesionales creados por especialistas en la grabación y edición.

Digital Is Step 1: Formulate a Narrative Some graphic novelists start from scratch and visually draft their narrative as they go, acting as both writer and illustrator; others create visual adaptations of existing prose work, “translating” the written word into visual-verbal form; still others work in collaboration from the onset, in a partnership where a writer creates a narrative script that an illustrator uses to craft the comic. There is no one “right” way to begin the composition process. That said, I have found that in teaching my students to focus on the nuances of a new form of writing, it is easiest for them to adapt an existing narrative than to try to create new content at the same time they are being asked to apply elements of visual literacy. INSTRUCTIONS: Find (or create) a poem, short story, or excerpt from a longer work of prose that you would like to experiment with adapting into a visual-verbal format.
