I created #ds106 Assignment 1 using iMovie, Google Earth, a few images grabbed from the internet, and a piece of the very film footage profiled in this short story.

How insane is that! Great story.
holy crap! what a small world! or… was she assigned to monitor you after you Got Out? hmmm…
@dlnorman heh heh – so crazy eh? We exchanged emails so I put together a bunch of footage for her that evening and sent it to her. I received a very heartfelt email of thanks from her the next day. This happened just before Christmas – it was the event that started my holiday spirit.
Did your license get renewed?
Oh yeah, go ahead and do something *serious* and get my heart thunping! That was a wonderful story and so cleanly executed (I did expect a little original theme music 😉
This is one I will like to toss into the mix of Amazing Stories
Holy hat? Are you kidding me? What are there like 50 people in Canada? What an amazing story, and the way you deliver it is spot on. How sick to think you are carrying around footage of her Grandmother’s birthday…wow.
@brian Indeed it did … but the photo on the new license is pure mugshot
@alan Glad you liked it – hope to peel off some original music over the next few weeks in a #sd106 assignment … feel free to take any element of the vid … .m4v is at http://blip.tv/file/get/UNBC-until_that_moment495.m4v
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
Man, that is crazy! Not only a great story but well put together. Love that I got to see the old video clip. Is it me or do people in those types of films always look the same? Must be the fashion of the time.
That is freakin amazing!
Grant, that gave me goosebumps!
Incredible but stochastically speaking completely plausible. Beautiful nonetheless!
Well done.
@giulia thanks – it certainly was an uncanny experience – goosebumpable
Jaw on the floor. So simple and elegant. The story was amazing for sure, but the execution is what made it so special.
Very cool story! And I loved the delivery of it. Thanks for sharing your old family film and the beauty of connection.
Wow. Amazing story indeed.
Holy hell, that’s awesome!
FABULOUS!!!
Seriously so well crafted! You lay it down and then get the hell out of there. Perfect.
Thanks folks … thrilled with such great feedback from everyone. If anyone would like a portable copy you can grab an .m4v here:

Oh my God, Grant! I have a page on my blog about my own weird coincidences, but they all PALE in comparison to this astounding story. (Which, even if it were not a true story would be awesome anyway, and should win an award) If you don’t mind, I am adding this story to my Coincidences page. If I start a page of Awesomeness, I’ll add you there, too, just because. Wow!!!
By all means – whatever element you would like to use – glad you liked it 🙂
This is storytelling! Creepy good old storytelling!! Good Work (Which Will Be Unbeatable) in #ds106.
What are the chances??? What am awesome story.
