One of the great joys of
following developments in new media storytelling is being part of something
that is unfolding and evolving in the moment. Now get a load of
this.
This link describes the fascinating use of
new media technologies to tell the story of an industrial accident in
Denmark. The story appears on a union publication website and uses 3-D animation
to recreate the experience of a worker who fell 35 feet through a ceiling.
The thrilling thing to me is that 3-D,
audio, video, and still photography all are brought together to both
advance the narrative and make an important point about worker safety.
Rob Curley calls it one of the most interesting examples of new
media storytelling he has ever seen.
