Links to some of my work :: Interactive Multimedia Journalism and Design Examples

1) Forecastle Fest 2007 :: Multimedia

http://www.patrickyen.com/forecastle

I was only responsible for editing the videos in this piece
and for the pieces original interactive design.

For my design I chose to publish the video and photo galleries side-by-side.
Circa July 2007.

Gathered video by Chris Little,
stills by Christian Hansen and many, many others.

I also produced a 38-minute tutorial on how to make these:

I produced my first video pano for ADP
two weeks before Google announced their new “Street View” for Google Maps
though it is not very good (circa May 2007):

Disclaimer: Very heavy and outdated process due to the development of PaperVision3d.

3) American Diversity Project :: Mississippi Delta

http://www.lightstalkers.org/adp_multimedia___oral_history_stories
http://www.americandiversityproject.org/2007/multimedia/
http://www.americandiversityproject.org/2007/history/
http://www.americandiversityproject.org/2007/podcast/adp_podcast.xml

I served at ADP-2007 as the multimedia director
with a team of three others:
Sara Holcombe, Patrick Smith, and Matt Fields-Johnson.

The aforementioned links are what we produced non-profit in five days,
circa May 2007.

ADP is put together by Jim and Carla Winn,
who are also both current ‘informal’ members of the Global Journalism Group.

4) Global Journalism Group Videos

http://www.gonzopj.net/media
http://www.lightstalkers.org/global-journalism-group-videos

As of current, the first two videos are Sara Holcombe’s
and the last ten videos are mine.

I did not design this media player, it is a Brightcove template.
I am simply listing this link as a pointer to some of the videos I’ve produced.

5) Videobred Website (Beta)

http://www.patrickyen.com/newwebsitebeta/

I designed this website when I was working at Videobred in April of 2006.
Videobred is one of the top video production companies in Louisville KY (my hometown)
and I worked there as a full-fledged video editor and multimedia producer over a year ago.

I understand they still intend to use this site,
but they’ve yet to officially launch it pending some undecided changes.

6) Various discussions I have authored or co-authored on Lightstalkers:

http://www.lightstalkers.org/links_to_lightstalkers_posts_which_i_have_authored

I have written these posts within the past year on Lightstalkers.

Various highlights include:

http://www.lightstalkers.org/gpc_style_captioning___who__what__where__when__why__how__optional
http://www.lightstalkers.org/multimedia_and_global_journalism_code_of_ethics

7) P O E T R Y

http://www.gonzopj.net/poetry2
http://www.lightstalkers.org/p_o_e_t_r_y

Instead of reporting about a poetry slam with summary and interpretation,
why not just deliver it?

Circa March 2006.

8) Fakemustaches.org

http://www.fakemustaches.org

The final report I wrote for Tim Broekema’s Web Publishing class at WKU
detailing the first week of fakemustaches.org
can be read here (circa May 2006):
http://www.fakemustaches.org/final

It has since evolved into somewhat of a viral web 2.0 sensation
with a top ranking on Google and Yahoo
everytime the term “fake mustaches” is searched.

Public web statistics:

9) Journalism ‘Manifestos’

http://www.gonzopj.net/v089.html (circa January 2006)
http://www.gonzopj.net/global/new/v6.6.html (circa October 2006)
http://www.gonzopj.net/global/ (finished manifesto circa Xmas 2006)

The Global Journalism Group ‘Manifesto’ was a year in the making,
and the finished manifesto “Can You Argue With A Question?”
is politically neutral and anti-monolithic.

10) Still photography and personal website

http://www.lightstalkers.org/galleries/slideshow/8495

I also have a still gallery
and a randomized pool of images on the frontpage of my website
(which desperately needs to be updated):
http://www.patrickyen.com

11) J. Graham Brown School

http://www.patrickyen.com/brownschool

Experiment I did with vertical video
featuring two former students, two former teachers, and two former parents
discussing the high school I went to,
the J. Graham Brown School.

Circa April 2006.

12) WKU Two Day Film Challenge

http://www.patrickyen.com/tdfc

This is a syndicated film-fest I put together in October 2005
(I didn’t produce any of the films featured).
I designed it before I had even heard of Youtube.
It can be syndicated into people’s blogs or Myspace profiles,
just as Youtube movies can be,
but it is thirteen films instead of one.

I haven’t seen anybody attempt this design approach since I introduced it
over two years ago now.

Originally won an SND monthly competition award for June 2006:

13) Wild and Woolly Video Commercial

http://www.patrickyen.com/main/video/wildandwoolly.html

I produced this video probono for a video store in Louisville, KY
back in August of 2004.

I did not shoot one frame of video for it,
it was animated from over 500 still photographs I shot with a Canon 10D.

It is a live-action stop go animation similar to
Ed Kashi’s “Flip Book” Kurdistan presentation,
albeit produced awhile before that.

The audio, music, and sound effects for the commercial
were all made by the mouth of Bennett Duckworth.

This is where my production skill-set and vision was at age 20.

14) Global Journalism Group

http://www.globaljournalism.org

I co-founded the Global Journalism Group with Kenneth Malapote as an experiment
back in the December of 2005.

Since then I have been responsible for its production, design, and maintenance,
though I do not have the time to update it regularly.

We have accomplished a great deal in terms of introducing new and original theories, philosophies, predictions, experiments, and even precedents,
considering that we are a non-profit informal ‘collective’
as of current operating on virtually no budget and for no pay.

15) Personal Code of Ethics

http://gonzopj.blogspot.com/2007/06/personal-code-of-ethics.html

Paper I wrote last semester for my Journalism Ethics class at WKU
detailing my personal code of ethics as well as detailing new concerns facing multimedia journalists.

16) Halfway to Forecastle 2008 :: Multimedia

http://www.lightstalkers.org/halfway-to-forecastle-2008-multimedia

I edited the video, edited the diptych photo gallery,
and designed the interactive multimedia presentation for this piece.

Circa January 2008.

17) Aurora Photos Videos

A) Eagle Lady – http://www.auroraphotos.com/storytelling/eaglelady/large.shtml

Video I produced while interning as the multimedia producer
at Aurora Photos during the Spring of 2008.

B) Scarification – http://www.auroraphotos.com/storytelling/scarification/flv.shtml

Another video I produced while interning as the multimedia producer
at Aurora Photos during the Spring of 2008.

18) American Diversity Project 2008 | Multimedia

http://www.americandiversityproject.org/2008/multimedia/

The American Diversity Project is an annual week-long documentary project
where student, amateur, and professional photojournalists
photographed Pikeville, Kentucky in May 2008.

There are six panoramics and five videos that play back-to-back.
I produced the first four videos and designed the interactive multimedia presentation.

The interactive panoramics may be viewed by clicking on the thumbnails
in the bottom right-hand corner of the presentation.

The sixth panoramic is ‘hidden’ and appears after the last video finishes playing.

I produced the videos featured as diptych/dichotomy pieces,
often piecing two images together per shot.

Part of the idea behind this presentation is that two images placed together
could somewhat resemble a spread of two pages out of a magazine or newspaper.
