Transitioning from photography to multimedia — from Tracy Boyer

From DSC:
Tracy mentions some nice resources here:

Some of the most talented multimedia producers in our industry today actually started their careers as photographers. Photographers make up the majority of staffs at nearly every inspirational multimedia company – Media Storm, Bombay Flying Club, Talking Eyes Media, Weyo, and Story4, to name a few. Whether out of necessity or personal aspiration, these photographers have successfully made the transition to multimedia production and now use their still cameras as only one storytelling option. So why did they do it, how were they successful, and how can you follow their lead?

…

There are excellent resources out there for photographers wanting to learn how to shoot for video, or double task to record audio and take photos in the field. Below is a list of 20 such resources from some of my favorite blogs to get you started:

Digital Directors Guild – Digital Storytelling Lessons — from free4teachers.com

On 01/25/2010, in digital storytelling, memory, multimedia, online learning, by Daniel Christian

Digital Directors Guild

From DSC:
Anyone who has followed my work knows that I am interested in digital storytelling. Why?

  1. First of all, because of the engagement factor. Those in education and training know what one must first engage the student — draw them in and get them hooked — before anything else of any lasting substance can happen
  2. Digital storytelling unleashes a huge amount of creativity — students can play different roles on a team: script writing, videography, illustration, music/audio creation, acting, props, etc.
  3. This medium combines the power of multiple other types media — a very potent communication mechanism; one that is able to elicit emotion as well
  4. There is power in a story — and, with repetition — is one of the best ways I’ve experienced of having learning “stick” with me (i.e. addresses long term memory and a greater ROI from one’s investment in education)

Thanks,
Daniel
