I came across a great blog series today by Iranian journalist Omid Memarian on IJNET’s site about multimedia fundamentals. Thus far, he has three great posts defining multimedia, discussing the teamwork and multi-tasking requirements of multimedia, and planning a multimedia story. I have recapped some of his points here, but I encourage you to read them in their entirety, as well as keep an eye out for his latest post publishing in the near future.
I was recently asked to be a part of the 2009-2010 News21 project at UNC. Funded by Carnegie and Knight, this initiative worked with eight participating Universities to push the barrier in terms of multimedia storytelling on a wide range of topics. I finally got the time to look through each project at length, and am excited to hear what you think about my analysis on these inspirational projects.
