narrative and documentary web design

Services

High Definition Production & Editing:

In order to capture authentic and meaningful moments that will best tell a story, I work with a small, unobtrusive HD camera. This allows me to be more conversational in my interactions and more reactive and fluid in my movements. Depending on the project, I try to shoot and edit on a video journalist’s schedule: 1-2 days per short video.

Video Publishing & Distribution:

An online video short has contextual information that helps its findability on the web. Descriptive text, meta-tags, and proper placement on various social networking platforms are parts of an overall strategy of reaching communities of common interest. These are not after-thoughts, but fully integrated into production and post-production.

Web Design

A good website tells a story. I have a “narrative” style that relies on photography, video and simple graphic elements to convey a story world. All sites are hand-coded with XHTML/CSS (and HTML5). I can also provide photography and video services.

Social Media Consulting

Communication technologies are changing faster than at any time in human history. The good news is that the changes will help individuals and organizations connect in rich and meaningful ways. I specialize in designing and implementing social media strategies for arts, cultural and humanities- based organizations.

Media Design for Location-based & Mobile Applications:

The growing popularity of GPS phones makes geographic meta-data another important factor in findability and discoverability. I design mobile-friendly websites and locative video experiences, such as walking tours, that are geotagged for popular mobile applications.
