In producing my second digital story I was faced with a few unexpected obstacles. Weather conditions had prevented me from being able to videotape my interview with Kim, the subject of the story, on the beach as we’d initially planned, so we had to return later to shoot footage of her walking along the shore. Since I’d also recorded separate audio files as a backup this should have been fine, but I learned the hard way that if you turn the camera (this particular one, at least) vertically when you’re shooting, the image is 90 degrees off when you download it (thus Kim was lying across the bottom of my screen covered in a blanket of water). No problem; I searched for, and found, a free program that promised to rotate the video – and it did, but it didn’t allow me to adjust the aspect ratio to fit the Movie Maker screen. I finally decided to convert the images from the video to still shots and lay the audio track separately.
