This week I watched the Mahabharata videos created by
Epified TV.
I really like this set up a lot! It was really helpful in
truly understanding the story because you can see all the characters and what
is going on. I would highly recommend this format for other stories if it is
available. I will probably take advantage of it if they are available for
future weeks’ reading assignments.
I also enjoyed being able to catch up on a few parts of the
story that was a little more confusing, particularly some of the fight scenes.
I think that the drawings made it clear who was fighting whom and where.
I wonder if there is a way to create an animated video for
the story? I have little experience with this but it could be an interesting
concept for others to try! I would certainly enjoy watching them no matter how
poorly done.
I will probably be doing something with Bhishma. I like his
stories and they seem to be pretty applicable to another form of storytelling.
I have enjoyed reading all of these stories because they have introduced bits
and pieces of Indian culture. Having had little experience with Indian culture
it has been fun reading (and now watching!) the stories from classic tales. I
am excited to continually meet new characters and new perspectives of their
stories.
I hope to include Jonathon and Mr. Piddles in this story
somehow, not quite sure yet though. For those who haven’t heard Mr. Piddles’
name is based off of my neighbors cat’s name! I think it is adorable and so I
have chosen to include it in my stories. I am not sure what new characters will
be introduced this week but I am excited to start working on it!
