Prezi has been on my radar to try out properly for months, I’d seen the videos and read about it but hadn’t yet done a whole presentation. As for a lot of other people, Umair, Twitter‘s Jack Dorsey being a couple of them, I think the concept is definitely awesome.
I finally got round to spending a little bit of time playing with the free version today and created my very first Prezi, check it out here. Mine is still pretty linear here, but I’m telling a really (very) simple story here as it’s a first test.
I feel it’s a bit disconcerting to not have tools to place objects in certain places and have very limited fonts, colours and styles but that might just be the free version.
I’m interested in trying out the pro version, I think there are more features and functions; and I need to practice. Although really simple, the interface doesn’t come naturally for some reason – could be I’m too used to a complicated system to create presentations.
I’m pretty inspired right now and thinking not only about presentations but perhaps some other stuff it could be used for, one of the logical ones could be storytelling in some way. I’m thinking of a project in particular I just had the idea for, I need to get moving on it…
I would be great to be able to embed Prezis in Slideshare, I don’t know if that’s possible yet..?
