California State Library - Digital Stories Station

Kinetic Creative Studio recently completed a three month project with the California State Library. We produced a series of ten mini-documentaries by and about local Sacramentans, designed a suite of multimedia training materials and led a series of public workshops on the art and technology of digital storytelling.

This project was a part of a larger state program designed to put the knowledge and tools for digital storytelling into the hands of the community. The goal is to create an audio-visual tapestry of California life called "California of the Past."

Using Apple's iLife '09 suite of tools, residents can tell short stories of their personal experiences, family histories, places of interest or anything about life in Sacramento that is important to them. These stories are preserved in the permanent archives of the Sacramento Room, posted on the library's website, and are available for checkout from the audio visual collection of the Central branch.

The Digital Story Station project will continue at Central Library, downtown on 8^th and I Street, and anyone interested in telling a story should contact one of the Digital Media Artists on staff by filling out an online application.

music video production

We no longer produce music videos, but here are a few that are fun to watch.

In the years of producing these types of vids, we've gotten very good at traveling with minimal gear and learning to wear our earplugs. Karl Alexander's editing style is definitely based in music videos. He can take a series of seemingly unrelated images and string them together into a cohesive story, with a rhythm and pacing that fits the message.
