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

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.

Syndicated on Lightstalkers:

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:

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.

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/play/patrickyen/1

I also have a still gallery
and a randomized pool of images on the frontpage of my website

(which desperately needs to be updated):

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 />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.

It was originally published on MultimediaShooter last June:

http://www.multimediashooter.com/wp/?p=355

Here is a link to my resume:

http://www.patrickyen.com/patrickyen.jpg

It’s always outdated and needs to be updated.

I am working on a great deal more projects that have yet-to-be finished.

Thanks to all and I hope you enjoy.

Peace be with you.
