It probably has to go down as one of the dumbest questions I’ve heard in a radio interview:
“Have you figured what made this one¬† (picture) stand out and be so compelling?”

National Geographic did a great story not long ago about female wrestlers in Bolivia.  Personally I think the photographer Chico Sanchez has gone one better with his slideshow about masked Mexican wrestlers.
Did you know that the first masked wrestler in Mexico was an Irishman?  NO!
Again I think there’s quite a few layers to this … [...]

This is a clip from a radio programme I made for the BBC a few years ago.¬† I dug it out for some training sessions I gave to the recent Prison Radio Association annual conference and I’m pleased to say it went down a storm with many requests for copies afterwards.
Again it proves that a [...]

Interactive Narratives is a great source of of multimedia coming out of America and they’ve just pulled out an absolute peach (courtesy of the New York Times). Its a lesson in characterization and absolute proof that audio can drive a piece, even if you have a limited (but decent) set of photos.¬† Its also proof [...]

to make such a beautiful slice of multimedia … you think you’d let people see it in quality (those that have broadband)¬† None the less HATS OFF. (no audio till 1 min 30).¬† A great spot by multimediamuse. Produced by the Brazilian agency CIA DE FOTO.

Even though I don’t speak German this audio slideshow by photgrapher Peter Vogel is VERY powerful.
Peter writes:
The intertitles explain: Long Time detainees work on a self made adaptation of Brechts “Rise and Fall of the city of Mahagonny”. There will be never a public show. The prison does not allow. So at the end only [...]

It was by chance that David White and I came across the magical Carters Steam Fair. The piece was shot in day and edited in a couple more.
Family and friends will notice some familiar extras in this audio slideshow.¬† Let’s just say at duckrabbit we like to keep it in the family. As in all [...]

This audio slideshow by Shane Bauer shook me up.
It’s one of the very few in which the audio matches the images … both haunt. Watch it.

I first met David White in the lobby of a hotel on the banks of the Nile in Egypt.  I thought he was alright but when I saw his photos it was love at first sight.  A few years previously I  stumbled across a Sebastiao Salgado exhibition in Liverpool. I had no idea who the [...]

This is a really interesting soundslides that flags up the limitations of the medium. Its been produced by Alex Massey, a British based photographer, who spent 3 months hanging out with squatters living in million dollar houses in London.  Journalistically the idea is fascinating and Alex produces some interesting images. The piece is a million [...]

As I keep saying there’s a lot of great media coming out of America. They have embraced digital storytelling and are producing some stellar results.
If you haven’t discovered On The Road Media yet, a company that specializes in digital storytelling, check out their site.
I find their projects compelling.  Tight, unnerving, unflinching, packed with compassion and [...]
