There’s a bag piper who stalks the streets of Kings Heath, where duckrabbit lives. Well there was until he disapeared a few weeks ago. Turns out the local mafia put his feet in concrete and dropped him off Spagehtti Junction during rush hour. Can’t say anyone was too outraged because when he was about the [...]

Writing Here:     What they say about duckrabbit:'One of the hazards of publishing a well-known photojournalism blog - getting multimedia like yours, where the photos are both powerful and moving, and I end up in tears at my desk.' Alan Taylor, Boston Big Picture) 'David White's multimedia work with duckrabbit is very exciting.' Kate Edwards (Guardian Magazine Picture Editor) 'I am a fan of duckrabbit. I am not a fan because I agree with everything Ben has to say, but because he says it without frills and then will spend the time necessary to engage the consequent discussions. Such commitment is a priceless commodity.' 'I met one of them at an academic conference in the summer. He was the sanest person there, but sure enough by damn gadnabbit ruffled more than a few fluffed up peacock feathers.' 'If you haven't seen the duckrabbit blog on multimedia you should.' 'duckrabbit has done another jaw-dropping job with Condition Critical, a highly commendable and important project for Medecins Sans Frontiers.' Categories

duckrabbit are teaching a short module focusing multimedia storytelling on the Masters photojournalism degree course at LCC (starting tomorrow) Paul Lowe, who heads up the course, is a great supporter and advocate of digital storytelling. The fact that he wants to prepare students for life after print is rare amongst university educators (nudge, nudge Newport). Anyway [...] March 1st, 2010 | Tags: duckrabbit sites, Education, LCC, paul lowe, photojournalism | Category: Audio Slideshow, Production, So What Do You Think?, Training, duckrabbit, journalism, multimedia | 20 comments

I have to say, I think Magnum in Motion are really on top of their game at the moment. For something like the third time in as many weeks they’ve produced a beautiful little multimedia piece, this time about 2nd tour soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The BBC has a great audio slideshow today featuring the voice and photos of former Grenadier guards officer Cpt Alexander Allan who spent six months in Afghanistan. It’s wonderfully human and intimate – much more so than anything I’ve seen by any embedded photographer. Five minutes well spent.

Multimedia producers the Bombay Flying Club have just published their latest piece, shot in Ethiopia. At 11 minutes, Streetlight is a little on the long side for most armchair viewers, and the Flying Club’s trademark use of rich black and white photographs, while stunning, perhaps steals something from the overall piece. Their use of audio is [...] February 12th, 2010 | Tags: Adam Westbrook, Bombay Flying Club, Brent Foster, duckrabbit sites, Ethiopia, Flash, HTML5, J-query, Javascript, Poul Madsen | Category: AFRICA, Adam Westbrook, Audio Slideshow, blogs, journalism, multimedia | 10 comments

Ever wondered what it takes to get the photographs of world-class skiiers as they whizz by?

Sent to the duck by Ian Forsyth, this multimedia piece looks at the repatriation of soldiers killed on operations whilst in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the thoughts of the residents of Wootton Bassett..a town through which many bodies of these men pass.

Photographer Stephen Ferry has spent the best part of a decade documenting the brutal Colombian civil war. Its population is terrrorised by both the left-wing guerillas and the right-wing paramilitary groups (who are often linked to the government and police) and their shadowy successors. The conflict is not only ideological – the lucrative drug business [...] February 9th, 2010 | Tags: Americas, Colombia, Colombian armed conflict, Human Rights Watch, journalist, lawyer, Photographer, Politics, Politics of Colombia, South America, Stephen Ferry, War/Conflict | Category: Audio Slideshow, human rights, multimedia | 2 comments

Don McCullin is not only a great photographer but he’s also a great talker. I caught him this morning on the BBC’s TODAY programme. It was a powerful listen. Important too to hear a photographer talk about the cost to his mental health of the work he does.

Nice little audio slideshow this: Back in the late 60s and early 70s it was difficult to get your hands on American pop music. At least, it was difficult if you lived in communist Poland. But Polish pop lovers found a way to get their fix of Donna Summer or Hot Chocolate. It came in the [...] February 3rd, 2010 | Tags: Devotion Gallery, Entertainment/Culture, New York, Postal stationery, Postcard, Sunday | Category: Audio Slideshow, duckrabbit | One comment

This powerful audio slideshow is brought impressively to life by Olince Calixte, a blind street musician from Port au Prince. It’s also a journey from pain, trauma and shock through to the first signs of recovery. For me it tells a much more balanced story of the aftermath than many sets of photos out there.

I’m not sure whether the photos here just don’t fly past too quick to take them in. One or two of them were really urging me to stop and think, but before I could get my brain whirring we were somewhere else. That said this is really strong work in lots of ways and respect [...] Adam Westbrook posted this on January 21st, 2010
It’s not often the BBC’s small audio slideshow team really nail it on the head, but they’ve put together something special today. Portraits of the Fallen tells the story of a Vietnam veteran who gets up at 4am every morning to draw pictures of service men and women killed in Iraq. As well as excellent use of [...] January 21st, 2010 | Tags: 20th century in the United States, artist, Audio Slideshow, British Broadcasting Corporation, Entertainment/Culture, Michael Reagan, photography, Politics of the United States, Presentation, Ronald Reagan, slideshow, United States, Vietnam veteran | Category: Adam Westbrook, Audio Slideshow, Production, blogs, conflict, journalism, multimedia | 4 comments

Well done to Pete Masters at MSF for producing this thoughtful audio slideshow just a couple of hours after conducting the interview with the MSF surgeon Paul McMaster. It gives you a clear insight both of the need for help and just where your money is going.
