The sound and the story
One exciting part of the growing technology in multimedia is
finding new ways to tell stories.
My friend Jaime
Oppenheimer put together this video last week
from the Kansas State Fair, composed entirely of natural sound.
Besides being a talented photographer, and one of the
first in our newsroom to embrace video, Jaime is also a percussionist. She combined her talents to produce a
Stomp-inspired piece that in 30 seconds give you the sights and sounds of the state fair, with
a little rhythmic flair.
For more on “nat sound” see this tutorial video from "Melissa
Worden’s X-Degree."
Multimedia moral: Use your creativity to let the
technology set you free from your self-imposed boundaries of what journalism
should be, finding new, inventive ways to tell stories.
