Digital Storytelling 101

	The shot is focused on a green board the same color of the Wausau Homes logo.  A woman’s hand and a man’s hand are on screen and they are drawing (white) with their fingers on the green canvas.  She draws a stick figure woman on the left and he draws a stick figure man on the right, and as he speaks he draws a big diamond ring between them.	Woman: The story of our home.  Well, we started out young. Man: We didn’t know what we wanted back then, but we were happy.  So I got that ring.
	The woman draws a veil on her stick figure, and he draws a bow tie on his.  As she talks he draws a ball and chain around his ankle.  She playfully slaps his hand and she erases the ball and chain.	Woman: And that was the biggest commitment either of us had ever made.  It was a really special time in our lives that eventually lead to the next big commitment…..buying a house!
	The man draws a small dumpy college rental with worn window edging.  As he speaks a shutter falls and hangs loosely from one of the windows.	Man: Remember that duplex we rented after college? (Chuckles) I repaired every screen on those windows because you kept breaking in when you’d forget your keys. Woman: (laughs) It was time to get out of there!
	The woman motions with her hand right to left and the house slides out the left side of the screen.  She starts to trace a new home exterior around them.	Woman: Our first thought was to buy, but when we went to Wausau Homes we realized we could build our own dream home instead of buying someone else’s.
	The home fades out, and the woman draws a door that she closes between the two characters, it rotates to form a wall between them.	Man: That’s when the fun began. Woman: I wanted a private work space.
	The man draws an island in front of his character.	Man: I wanted an island in the kitchen.
	The woman’s character pushes the wall to the right and draws a stacked washer/dryer combo.	Woman: I wanted a large entry way with an organized laundry space.
	The man’s character pushes the wall to the left which in turn pushes the washer dryer out the left of the screen.  The stick figure wipes it’s brow in exhaustion and falls into a recliner that he traced.	Man: I wanted an entertainment space the family could use together.
	The recliner pops back and a child stick figure runs onto the screen and plops onto his lap.  As she speaks four more kids run onto the screen, and she walks through the door to the right side of the screen to join them.	Woman: Yea, the family.  We didn’t even have kids at the time, but we wanted a space that could accommodate our growing family.
	The man stands from his chair and it fades out. The man redraws the exterior of the new home.	Man: There was some give and take, but the process was easy with Wausau Homes. We got a firm price, done our way, and it was ready in 3 months, just like they promised.
	The drawing on screen fades as the home becomes real, and the stick figures are a family proudly standing in front of their home.	Woman: But really, building our home wasn’t about the construction.  It was everything we went through together that makes it our home. (optimistically) Sometimes it’s hard to believe, but we did it.  With Wausau Homes we built our dream.
