I attended a meetup last week and noticed the presentation software used by the speaker was quite cool. The speaker told me he was using something called "prezi". After I went home, I decided to check it out and found it was a cloud based presentation tool. It has an interesting concept. Instead of treating presentations as decks of slides, the whole prezi is a giant canvas. You can treat it like a drawing board, or a mind map. It's a perfect tool for creating things like visioning boards.
After watching the demo video and played with it a little bit, I felt it could also be a great storytelling tool. I wanted to do something with it, but didn't know what to say. Then a conversation with friends on Facebook gave me an idea. I had a vision of our conversation in images. I decided to make a Prezi.
Even though Prezi's concept was easy, I was really struggling with the first few frames. However, after mastering the basic operations, I got better. I felt more comfortable with frames and paths. It became more and more fun. I was quite proud about the finished Prezi, even though it was quite primitive. (I wish I had the technique of a UI designer.) I decide to keep a record here. Who knows? Maybe someday my dream will come true.
