It appears I have not done any Teknologia work in the past two weeks. Not true! Last week I gathered content at two locations: The K-12 Groton Art Show (not pictured here yet), and at an Artist Studio in Lansing (Patty Brown). I just spent six hours putting together the Studio Tour in Thing Link. This has been my most involved project to date! I included multiple theta images (linked into each other), video clips, an audio interview, web links, and still images. I think I exhausted every kind of media possible, other than a 360 video.
What I learned is this needed a lot of prep and skill level. First, I used Adobe Audition to edit the audio interview. I also cheated and used iMovie (instead of Adobe Premier) because I knew iMovie would do what I needed faster (rotate a video and make both videos smaller in size). I also had to edit a million photographs in Adobe Photoshop, mostly because I forgot that ThingLink hates vertical images! I had to either rotate images in Photoshop, or extend the canvas size and insert two verticals into one image, making it "horizontal" in length. I also worked between a Microsoft Surface tablet and my MacBook. My content is all over the place. My files started on my personal iPhone, then I moved them to Google Drive, and then downloaded them to my desktop so I could edit the content. Then I had to upload all of it to ThingLink before I could embed it. I wish ThingLink and Google were connected. I know Google has the poly tour creator but it lacks in it's features compared to ThingLink. Without further ado, here is my project!
