Project 2 so far

I haven't really started working on the second project as a whole yet, but I have a general idea about what I want to do. I studied abroad in Germany this summer, and I figure I'll use that trip as the focus of the project. I may not actually use google maps, but opt instead for a more animated map of Europe/Germany, and use a lot of the pictures I took on the trip to illustrate interactive points on the map. So far, the little movie I submitted for the last blog seems like it should be able to find its way into the project as well, since the group I was with took a tour of the Burgenwald, Germany's largest continuous forest. That video will be a sort of template for the rest of the interactive points. The German language offers opportunity for some interesting and funny audio to mix into the project, too.

Well, the project sounds sehr gut. I'm looking forward to seeing the completed version. The sound piece with the forest scenes and deer call was absolutely amazing, and does evoke Europe/Black Forest etc. Certainly I think you should use it and make some other similar ones? Now, you could simply embed these videos into a set of interrelated blog posts - they would be like forest paths - and accompany them with text. It'll be excellent.
