Behind the Java Soundslides by D.Boller

Creating a Soundslides project was a memorable experience. I had a chance to work with a wonderful group of women in interviewing Roberta 'Bobbie' Gluck and Melissa Brown from Java Junction. Group member Tara and I also took photos of the cafe. That was the easy part.

Now the honeymoon was over and the real work lay ahead. I edited and converted interviews and photos into an mp3 format. Next I recorded the narrative and painstakingly edited my voice to the interview and ambient environment soundtrack. Almost finished.

Then I brought the master recording back home to be dropped into the Soundslides program and arranged the photos to fit the track. I saved my finished work and proceeded the exporting and embedding process.

Sweet Baby Jesus!!! Trying to put this project in Google Drive and on Blogger drove me crazy. After about seven emails to Professor Young with what I thought was the correct link, I had to stop and say a prayer over my computer before I had a nervous breakdown.

Lastly I was able to save something to Google Drive.

Is it correct? 

I have no idea. 

However I was able to get updated instructions (Thank you Professor Young!) redo the latter half of the project and post it to this blog. I tested it and thank God, it works!
