I had this whole post mapped out about the Localore website and the way it organizes disparate stories into a cohesive whole…but…I can’t get Bear 71 out of my head. Perhaps this has to do with my existing environmental interest, but it drew me in from the first moment the page loaded, and held my […]  I’ve been thinking a lot about this notion of keeping things grounded in the “real”, and how it relates to the manipulation of documentary film that some of us have been discussing in our MMJ Foundations class. A good degree of the controversies brought up in some doc films is how they manipulate chronological order […] As a project, “Bear 71” fascinates because it operates simultaneously as a linear and nonlinear (read: interactive) narrative. On one hand, there’s the fairly straightforward account of Bear 71, a real female grizzly bear that was monitored for 11 years by forest rangers in Banff National Park before being killed by a train. But while […] As a documentary filmmaker that is intrigued about the technological immersion in our culture and how digital media will serve as archival material, I have been contemplating the power and effectiveness of an ‘open sourced’ model of documentary work. I find it funny that this idea is so simple and yet so brilliantly beautiful […] In the narrative facet ofthe “Bear 71” multimedia documentary, the anthropomorphized female grizzly bear quoted an old saying that put this week’s theme into some perspective: “A pine needle fell in the forest. The eagle saw it fall. The deer heard it. The bear smelled it.” It’s interesting to speculate what the sage who thought […] I am truly taken aback by the websites that we had to look at this week. The amount of work and dedication that must go into their creation and upkeep must be a huge undertaking. But beyond that, they truly have the ability to pull you in to look at everything that they have to […] Crowdsourcing is one of a select group of buzzwords and catchphrases that, like “core competencies” or “It is what it is”, never fail to give me gooseflesh. Too often it is used to disguise what is in essence just another marketplace bidding process, wherein many parties contribute, but only a few realize any […] Friends: Here is a link to our prison divestment site: www.bmediacollective.wix.com/pdxdivest Some notes: 1) We are going to redirect the current wordpress to this. 2) They are buying the domain name “pdxdivest” –but haven’t bought it yet. Any more descriptive suggestions? some folks thought it wasn’t clear enough… 3) The “stories” page has image […] As we get further down the participatory media rabbit hole I am realizing just how much I am required to… participate. No longer can I be the passive viewer who lets the content wash over me. The only way to access the content is to be an active participant. Yet it can feel overwhelming to […] I am intrigued by Austin, though I have never been there. Localore seems like a very 21st century way to discover the music scene of a city. It seemed well organized, as you could virtually explore the map, jumping from venue to venue with local insight into the history or current happenings of the music […] |
