Pastorp Innovative Interactivity Experience

Hello class as I searched the website InnovativeInteractivity I found an interesting story called Colorful but Colorblind. This story had article had many different stories, but the one that stood out to me was titled, Avoiding the pitfalls of the street. The amazing thing about the video was the quality of the footage and the use of the English subtitles. The audio provided was in a foreign language so you had to pay close attention to the subtitles. The storyline was awesome and it creative a positive image for our youth.

Behind Bars: The California Convict Cycle

 The Intro to "Behind Bars" was short but I liked how the opening showed a briefcase opening which to me was in indication law and also a symbol of secrets.  The best part of the clip was every word that popped up on the screen also  had a story behind it. The first word was "crime" and then they show a lady expressing that she wasn't a victim but a survivor of a crime that some one committed. Each word describes a story that all relates to the prison system and someone eventually being behind bars.  They also get close and capture emotions, and body language.

Jeff's Favorite "Innovative Interactivity" Links

Hello class, I just wanted to talk about two of the links that I found on the innovative interactivity site.  One of the sites is a link to a video created entirely from still frames.  The video is of a man seemingly walking across the country.  It fascinated me because as I watched it, I wondered how the photographer arranged each shot because the subject's walking motions seemed to be relatively smooth and each shot of him, in each location, had to be carefully planned.

Another interesting link was to a site called The Wilderness Downtown.  It has a space where you enter your childhood address and it takes you on a jogging trip through your old neighborhood courtesy of Google Earth!

Check out the sites and enjoy them for yourself!

Radiolab and NPR Present Words

"Words" by Hill Hoffman and Daniel Mercadante,  was a very clear and crisp video thats captured words with action and sound. The video is very detailed and captures  emotions up close. Everything is in sequence and shows each event of a word like "blow", shows the fan, paper in street, trees and then the guy blowing his noise.  "Split" was another word use with action of a girl doing a split, couple eating a banana split , pants split and then the stockings. I love how every word was showed in a different way.

colorful but colorbind

This was a story about a 18 year old girl and a 20 year old boy getting married. They said that they loved each other very much and that it was not an arranged marriage. however i believe that they should not get married at that age, but they do have two kids together. I do believe in marriages but not that young and for the right reasons. Love is a beautiful thing and I wouldn't dare deny no two people the love of their life . However, how would you know if that;s the only person you know or have known???
