Some of the most talented multimedia producers in our industry today actually started their careers as photographers. Photographers make up the majority of staffs at nearly every inspirational multimedia company – Media Storm, Bombay Flying Club, Talking Eyes Media, Weyo, and Story4, to name a few. Whether out of necessity or personal aspiration, these photographers have successfully made the transition to multimedia production and now use their still cameras as only one storytelling option. So why did they do it, how were they successful, and how can you follow their lead?
Throughout the past five years, I have seen some pretty incredible multimedia produced by people I have met along the way. These talented people from my school, internships and jobs have pushed me to work harder. Although not a comprehensive selection, here is my list of top-eight audio slide shows from this group. Thanks for the inspiration friends!
