Multimedia Scoping

Although I am still stuck in the phase of creating audio slideshows, I am well aware that photojournalists are going to be required to produce great video in order to compete in many markets. For Advanced Techniques, we were asked to share some recent multimedia we enjoy. Two things stuck out in my mind: one from Mediastorm, the other from New York Times.

This piece is so well done, but beyond devastating. Watch only if you are prepared for a mesmerizing sadness.

This piece was unveiled on election day and surprised me with it's uniqueness and depth. It has since been edited to include Obama's win which makes me even happier. It includes photos, audio, video, maps and a lot of fancy Flash work. I could watch it over and over.
