Multimedia must-see: “Goodnight Moon” by Margaret Cheatham Williams

This time of year is always exciting because students publish final projects for their respective photography and multimedia courses. Each year I feel as if students’ work as a whole improves, which, to me, says that multimedia storytelling is more of an innate skill for those born in the 90′s. It also reinforces my decision to learn the business side of multimedia since these 20-somethings are totally inspiring me with their exceptional storytelling skills! As an example, check out “Goodnight Moon” by Margaret Cheatham Williams. It’s a story about a mother trying to balance responsibilities taking care of her ailing mom while taking care of her kids. The photography is absolutely beautiful throughout.

I hope Margaret continues to build on this story over time to give viewers a more logical close to the story rather than reverting back to the historical footage. I wonder if the story might even be better without the intro and outro – thoughts?
