So much can be made of multimedia storytelling. Marriage of sound, pictures, video, and music can enhance any story and attract audience attention quickly and hold it for longer than before. It’s no surprise that multimedia has experienced success despite it’s relative newness. We are a visual culture, obsessed with seeing and experiencing the story. Multimedia presentations represent the way of the future, and the POY multimedia competition highlights the best of current media packages.
When scanning through the various projects, I came upon the presentation about Danville, Kentucky, and was pretty impressed.
I particularly liked the combination of words and sound to accompany the photos. I feel the creators of the package strived to completely represent the town and what it stands for. The clips about Hal and Gladys were touching and serious, while the dog trainers clip and the skateboarding teen clip provided a slightly lighter feel. Danville is a diverse and special place, and the authors of the package accomplished their goal. I noticed several little things, like the subtle changes in the music. For lighter clips, the music was more aloof, while the serious clips featured softer piano cues. Attention to the little details set this package apart and made it award winning.
