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.'
Prison Photography
'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.'
The Photography Pages
'If you haven't seen the duckrabbit blog on multimedia you should.'
Stephen Alvarez
'duckrabbit has done another jaw-dropping job with Condition Critical, a highly commendable and important project for Medecins Sans Frontiers.'

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).

The American dream seems to belong to movies, novels and political speeches. For some immigrants in North Carolina, the story is a very different one, closer to a nightmare than to anything else.
Eileen Mignoni depicts in Facing Deportation the impact of North Carolina’s immigration policies on the families of those who [...]

They used to be known as “river gypsies”, and crisscrossed the country’s waterways to transport goods.
Those days are long gone, but today more and more people are again choosing to live on canal boats – only this time often for financial or environmental reasons.
I’ve developed something of a fascination for the different ways in which [...]

Sometimes the real art is in letting go …
“It was like being a proper journalist again …. turning up in a town you’ve never been to and not being allowed to leave until you’ve got a story.“
Last Weekend duckrabbit ran its first multimedia training course at the Trinity Arts Centre, in Bristol, England.
We threw our [...]

Yo peeps …
One of the things duckrabbit would like to think we’re good at is editing. Mind you essentially we’re crowd pleasers. As a BBC Radio producer duckrabbit learned that you could make three dimensional, intellectually stimulating programmes that were also very popular. You just had to work bloody hard at it.
To me a great [...]

When duckrabbit lived in Ethiopia the radio programmes that I managed regularly told stories of women and children who had been the victims of sexual violence. The stories were horrific. To say that that the problem is endemic is to put it mildly. Sexual violence against women and children is rampant the world [...]

you need to dip your hand in your pocket for $175. Only thing is you’ll be joined by 179 others. I’m sure the day has some serious overheads but as a money spinner it generates over $31000.
WOW, that’s a business model and a half. You don’t get that many people coming unless you’re bloody good [...]

Last week I gave a presentation of duckrabbit’s work at DFID Pakistan. One of the questions that came up was whether you should use voice-overs or subtitles when someone foreign is speaking in their mother tongue?
Nine times out of ten its a no brainer. The voice is so important.
Its not just what people say but [...]

A few months ago I emailed a friend of mine who works in the Kibera slum in Nairobi suggesting they take a look at an amazing set of photos by Jehad Nga taken in the same slum.
‘My Shadow. My Opponent’ explores the lives, spaces and activities associated with boxing clubs in Kibera.
Instinctively I knew [...]

of James Nachtwey’s photos in Afghanistan, taken for the Red Cross.
Why?
Because they don’t seem to think the photos are good enough to present as stills. Instead they’ve got all those stomach churning Ken Burns effect going on. Seasick slideshows we call them at duckrabbit.
The point about a still photo is that your eye explores it. [...]

this audio slideshow by Sam Coley is a real treat.
For the rest of us its a masterclass in how to re-tell a story.
Not only that but the audio mixing is pretty much peerless.
I would have gone easier on the zooms, but that’s just a personal opinion.
A duckrabbit hats off to Sam.
