What is Hackathon? | ZGecko

by srcmax
Lets look at “Alma” the medium is simple. There is a documentary, and an iBook and it is available on the web. There is the story of Alma, former member of a violent crime gang. The documentary has relatively simple structure. Simple is good in this format. It is based on 2 screens. main screen which is always available presents medium close frame of Alma reliving the brutalities of her past life. She is simply lit with dark background. The alternative second screen shows up above Alma’s head. The framing and lighting of Alma allows the screen to be split in half, pulling in the frame from above to present us with underlying imagery and breaking the monotony of looking at a “talking head’. It is possible to see both at a single screen or shift focus from one to another. Being online, you can replay or fast forward through the story. You are not locked into single medium. But it is impeccably shot and the sound is well designed.

Upian strikes back: Alma is out | i-docs

by srcmax & 2 others
I have felt as if someone had slapped me, and I wondered if it was necessary. I had doubts about such a hard impact style and about its possible migrations towards voyeurism. But now that I have finished watching I have the feeling it was tough, but at the same time subtle, respectful and loving. Upian has not used me for a sensational story. It has brought the story to me and allowed me to face reality by designing an environment that felt right for such eye opening. This is what I call a mature project: where strength, message, design, interface and media merge together to become immersive, informational and meaningful. I have been slapped, but I would do it again and it was worth it.

Each is a day-in-the-life style video that follows one of 14 people (seven in each town).
