An Album’s Worth 1,000 (Bad) Words – Jimi Hendrix

Sara Trula — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 16:47:12 +0000

Jimi Hendrix was a soldier in (and then discharged from) from the US army prior to being the world famous legendary guitar player we all know and love.

The guy who wrote Machine Gun, had this written about his military conduct by James C. Spears, Plt Sgt of the Service, Supply, and Evacuation Platoon.

When photography meets interactivity

Adam Westbrook — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 10:13:25 +0000

Alongside photofilms, where you are guided through the story by the storyteller themselves, interactivity is another exciting way to tell photo stories.

The National Film Board of Canada is doing some sterling work in this area, combining stills with ambient audio – and then creating an interactive narrative for the viewer to explore in their own time.

A great example of this highlighted over at blog .fu this week is Fire by Aaron Vincent Elkaim.

At its base: some stylised photography, ambient music, really lovely typography – and a narrative you can explore yourself.

I really like the way the captions disappear to reveal the image below at the viewers request, and I like how the whole story is told in just 12 stills, and not the usual 20+.

Check out some of the NFB’s other experiments in this area too.
