Partos, a branche organization for the development sector, asked me to share my experiences with adding multimedia layers for online storytelling. By showing some examples of my work, I gave a 15 minute talk during their ‘Innovation Festival’ in Amsterdam’s Pakhuis de Zwijger.
In my experience, working on multimedia stories for Dutch and international media outlets and non-profits alike, I found out that combining audio, video, text and photography for online versions of regular media outlets (like brochures, newsletters) can add depth to human stories.
During my short presentation (from around 5.30 in the video above), I explained a bit more about how I created multimedia stories for Trouw, The Guardian, NRC Handelsblad, El País and the Dutch Relief Alliance.
