In class this week, Nour and I experimented with Digital Storytelling software, specifically Xtranormal.  This site was kind of fun.  I enjoyed choosing the setting, the sound effects, the voices, the characters, etc.  There were plenty of options to make it fun!  There were several problems; the voices, regardless of the accent, sounded "flat" and emotionless.  One voice was very low (a bass) and was distorted coming through the computer speakers.  Some of the accents were "overdone."  You can choose movements for your characters to make, however, they did not always sync up with the spoken dialogue in the way you would want them to.  Regardless, I enjoyed customizing my characters, creating a dialogue, and seeing it played out.  Here is our result:
