Todo Sobre Mi

The vast influences and widespread connections new media produces are undeniable. I am an avid user of primarily Twitter and Youtube, but I do dabble here and there in other forms of social media. This is a short video I made about myself using Windows Movie Maker on my laptop. I have never before made a video where I was the sole creator of each image, sequence, transition, and concept of the project in its entirety. Utilizing new media which makes an array of technology availiable at your fingertips, I uploaded my video to my new YouTube account and joined the rest of video makers and video viewers across the world. To incorporate a global perspective, I reocrded the video speaking in Spanish. I wanted to illustrate how the use of new media is culturally universal in a sense that regardless of ethnicity and origin, new media has taken the communication and technology age by storm. Any and everyone can essentially be an editor, director, producer, publisher, etc.

Enjoy!
