Think of three different ways—other than print—to tell a story. (We’ll assume that your piece has a print component.) Give a descriptive one-paragraph summary for each. Post idea by the end of class.
Our group is working on street art in Pittsburgh. Here are three examples of how this story could be told without words:
1. Picture slideshow showcasing each respective piece of art around the city. Each picture would be interspersed with its location on Google Maps and would create an interactive experience for the user. Clicking on the picture or map would give the user directions, info about the artist (where applicable) and other bits of info about the area.
2. Time lapse video of street art being created. The artist could be shown preparing himself early in the morning, getting his tools together and finding a perfect spot to display his art before getting to work. The video would then show a beautiful work of art being created in a matter of seconds before the user's eyes. The video could also be available in real-time, but with time lapse, you can see it come together quickly, and it adds an almost shock value to the experience because of how intricate some pieces of street art appear. The fact that they could be made over the course of a few hours or a day would be entertaining for the viewer.
3. An animated interpretation of art being reproduced--but with a twist. In the animated version, the art being created would consist of actual photos or videos from real life. It would be the opposite of reality, where the artist creates art. Here, the art would be capturing the artist. This would be easy to do with some flash-based animated program, and would be fun to make because suddenly the art is in the hands of the users rather than the artist.
