Proyecto Multimedia evoluciona en esfuerzo humanitario luego de tsunami
In 2006, 20 UNC and Chilean students spent 10 days in Robinson Crusoe Island, off the coast of Chile, to document its land, culture, and people for their award-winning multimedia project, Chasing Crusoe. Four years later, they learned that a recent tsunami caused by the Chilean earthquake devastated the small island and its people. By leveraging their multimedia storytelling skills, the former students quickly acted, in what has become a full-fledged grassroots humanitarian campaign.

Phil Daquila produce tesis, “Los Improvisadores”
2009 UNC master’s graduate Phil Daquila recently launched his thesis, “The Improvisers.” In it, he beautifully documents how people improvise in all aspects of life, from the extracurricular activities of dance and music, to the life-altering decisions made in our professions. Notice how all aspects of this site are carefully designed, from the typography in the videos to the site header. All together, there are seven videos documenting everything from firefighters improvising while putting out fires, to musicians improvising on stage.
Individuos Innovadores: Nancy Donaldson
If you watched “The Frontline of Mexico’s AIDS War” by the Washington Post in 2008, or enjoyed the “Choosing a President” presentation by The New York Times, you were watching the talented work of Nancy Donaldson.

Vu Nguyen, editor interactivo de MSNBC, discute el mapa de seguimiento del estímulo
I was pleasantly surprised to see Vu Nguyen’s blog “BiofusionDesign” come back alive recently with several posts about his latest mapping projects at MSNBC. The best part about it is that he discusses what tools he used for specific projects, and other “behind the scenes” information. If graphics interest you, I would highly suggest checking out Vu’s site for inspirational projects, insights and tips about the field.
Críticas Multimedia desde el punto de vista de novatos
UNC professors Laura Ruel and Don Wittekind recently notified me about a new assignment they gave their “Intro to Multimedia” students this year, which I have thoroughly enjoyed checking out. Each student is required to find a multimedia project to critique, and their write-ups are being posted on the class Website for everyone to read. The reviews are honest and insightful, and surely a big help to producers who are curious to learn how an average user views their projects.

Analysis of 2009 Carnegie-Knight journalism sites
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.
Nacho Corbella personifies economic hardship in “Faces of the Crisis”
Back in February, I noted that videographer Nacho Corbella made a clean sweep in NPPA’s monthly multimedia competitions with his notable projects. He recently notified me that he had completed his master’s thesis project, “Faces of the Crisis,” which I had been eagerly awaiting. Low and behold, I will go ahead and guess that you will soon seen this project in NPPA’s winners gallery …

UNC students and faculty were extremely busy this summer, splitting their time and effort amongst the News 21 site, Pat Davison’s soon to-be-launched Galapagos site, and a UNC Kenan-Flagler Profiles site. Three multimedia projects in three months … all with different goals, clients and project specs.
