Present tense storytelling
this morning I was chatting with Andrew Devigal, the NYTimes Multimedia editor. He told me about judging the POYi contest for multimedia.
He also sent a link to one of his favorite pieces, Afrikaner Blood, the first video on this list.
He told me he thought the piece was near perfect, that he forgot he was watching a multimedia piece and that he wanted to see more. Check it out and tell me if you agree.
I really like the idea to use video only where the emotion of action has to be shown. But at the same time I felt the piece was too static.
