Each and every day I put together some story using a combination of pictures and
words to explain or tell about something. Though the process seems fairly straight-forward
the medium is really the thing.
The kind of material you craft for a paper publication, something that a reader can
pick up and carry around, view, review and run their hands over is clearly demanding
of a specific kind of image and a specific kind of text.
So it is that this medium, the web page requires specific sorts of material, the
images can tell the story, the text support it and together they present to the viewer
a compound thought that allows construction of the idea.
But video, the idea of a fixed moment in time, the text in a spoken audio format
present whole new issues and yestereday and today we have been putting a project
together, we first shaped the text for spoken
word and recorded that, now we are crafting images to enhance the spoken word
and move ideas from our minds to the viewer.
Sorry but I got to go and get more done, will tell you more about the process another
day.
