My Digital Storytelling Example

I teach 5th grade, so this digital storytelling project is centered around our current social studies unit. I plan to show this example after explaining what digital storytelling is. This example is so important because I feel it sets expectations so that students have an idea of what they will be producing. I think viewing an example will also inspire students to begin thinking of how they will create their storytelling projects, and what elements they will add to their digital stories to make them their own. 
I would encourage my students to include photos and recordings of their voices when narrative their Prezies. Do you feel that creating a lavish example may hinder students' creativity? I am sometimes afraid that particular students will try to copy what I have created as a sample because they want to create something, "Right" (my students always ask, "Am I doing this right?"). I want to be sure that my students feel free to create something different from my example. The whole point is to see what they have taken from a unit, and what they feel is the most important information to be shared. I want to see different points of views, not my own recopied from my example.
