original by @keithb I made this project to show staff and artists at a community arts organization. The have a great project where participants make suitcases of objects to tell stories about themselves or their families. I got inspired to make a scratch project that might do something like this.
I have a bowl of things I collect on my table at home. I used these in the project. I scanned each ( even the bowl). I had to shrink the images to a size that would work with scratch, but other than that it seemed to work great. Each object is a sprite. Each (maybe not all) has a script and they each have a voice... recorded into scratch. If you play the bowl you'll here that I added effects sounds to a couple of the voices. This was nice because there is some timing you have to figure out with the program blocks. We work with youth a lot and the sound recorder is something they really like and spend time with. - scratch used to have more controls available for sound. This seems like it would be helpful to have still, maybe as advance controls or just a 'edit your sound' choice - sounds take a lot of space. having that control would help to cut out the length of sounds. We use a cross platform software called (cant say the name bcuz of advertising) to do this sort of editing too.
