Motion Story Creation
Sep 19, 2012
I enjoy watching those commercials such as UPS where the speaker if drawing a picture and telling a story.
More and more I see websites with this style. Sevone.com has a cool interaction where you see the speakers hand drawing the picture while he tells the story.
I would like to create this with storyline but do not know how. I'm considering using a screen recorder on my iPad and then importing the MP4 into storyline.
Does anyone have an idea of how to accomplish this with storyline?

Hi Ramon,
I tried to simulate this kind of interaction with this course, (some of the later bits, where the characters are actually being drawn).
I used a Wacom tablet input which displayed on a free drawing app that cam with it - captured it using a Storyline screencast, then droppped the various lines and arrow animations on top of the "writing template".
I am sure there are many ways to do this if you have a large audio-visual budget, however, I feel this may be beyond the realms of many of us who do not! :(
Good lick.

Bruce,
I viewed your course and your concepts work pretty well. I am considering two approaches both similar to yours.
1) I have an iPad with really nice drawing tools. I can draw and record audio and export as an MP4. I would then import that to storyline and dress it up with additional text and graphics as needed.
2) I bought some graphic images of hands from elearningart.com I can use them with Powerpoint in combination with motion paths to simulate a hand writing on the screen. I then do a screen cast of it running and insert it into Storyline.
Ramon,
Those should both work well.
Bryan's images over at elearningart.com are very good quality, and the hand images (which are his hands!) should work well for that concept.
Which tools do you have on the iPAD? If they are good I might want to invest...
