I watched a PechaKucha called Music Moves Me. It was about a girl who lost her dad at the age of twenty because of suicide. She went through a really deep depression and decided to take guitar lessons because that's what her dad use to do. She described a memory of him sitting at the edge of his bed, watching a VHS tape and teaching himself how to play the guitar. So she learned and got good at it. Three years after her dad's passing her younger brother was killed in a car accident because a guy fell asleep at the wheel and was going fifty-eight mph when he hit him. She got through his death by writing songs and continuing to play the guitar.
I thought her pictures were really well. They were personal pictures and were pictures of her dad and her brother. When she was describing a song that she wrote for her brother she had a picture of a grave with four roses on it. It's nice just listening to the presentation and just let the words flow along with the pictures that she had presented. The only downfall of her presentation was she spoke very quickly and would stumble on her words and get tongue twisted. It might have been because she was speaking in front of an audience but she is use to performing in front of people. She mentioned that she performs on stage at least once a week. So I think she stumbled because she was talking a bit too fast and that could be because she was trying to keep up with the twenty second slides.
I think it is going to be difficult to present my PechaKucha because I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep up with my slides. I think it will be hard to find pictures to go along with my topic as well but I'll find a way to make it work. Overall I'm excited and can't wait to see what everyone else has.
