Open House Course Chat with Filmmaker Henry Hodge

Last week our fully online Digital Storytelling course at SUNY Empire State College held an Open House Chat with filmmaker Henry Hodge. Several students from the course attended the online chat and asked questions about the creative process, developing professional audio for podcasts and digital stories, applying theoretical knowledge in practice, the importance of editing, as well as tips for getting started and planning digital storytelling projects.

Dr. Sheila Aird and Dr. Tom Mackey facilitated this discussion among the students and with Henry Hodge and the insights are easily transferrable to a wide range of digital media contexts.

Digital Storytelling Interview with Filmmaker Henry Hodge

As part of the online Digital Storytelling course, Dr. Sheila Marie Aird and Dr. Tom Mackey had the opportunity to talk with Henry Hodge, a filmmaker who works out of Prague, Czech Republic. Dr. Aird was previously consulting with Henry on a project and invited him to an online chat with students to inspire the emerging digital storytellers. The students were part of a digital storytelling course and collaboration that contained both United States and Prague based students. The Zoom conversation explores the importance of planning and storyboarding as the beginning piece of the creative storytelling process.

We look forward to providing additional digital storytelling resources related to our international collaboration!
