But, now, story wise, it has turned into a different animal because the star narrator for my project, Ted, wanted to tell a different story, one that is funny, poignant and sadly, true. This is a narrative about the rise and fall of a little donut shop in his neighborhood called Donut Time. A little political economy essay for you. My recording of the coffee making serves as the backdrop for this story. I also just produced this as my first MP3 file for you to download so I hope you'll enjoy checking out this final project for Multimedia 130. It has been a great learning experience for me and I wish to thank my Instructor, Tim White, for his guidance. If you're interested in knowing specifics about the recording equipment, software and how I made this MP3 file then read my DonutTime Production Notes. The MP3 file is called "DonutTime.mp3" and is 5.2 MB in size. Listening time is 5:33.

Please save sound files as AIFF format and burn them onto CD as data files, not as audio files, though audio files are ok. Final projects must be turned in as audio CD's. |
