Dear Leader Kim Jong Il

Richard — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 04:35:13 +0000

A wonderful contrast here between the North Korean commentator’s joyous prose, and the grim imagery. The audio is an edited version of a North Korean 55th anniversary video. The client expected a simple (and silent) gallery of images, but we sourced a rare North Korean tape and made it into a unique – and almost amusing – presentation. Listen for such gems as “Kim Jong Il turning adversity into favourable situations”.

The Great War – Villers Bretonneux

Audio recorded via telephone. Production, recording and music by MultimediaAction. Images courtesy of the Australian War Memorial.

The World – year in review

Richard — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 04:21:04 +0000

An end of year special for a national news site. We did the entire production from concept and picture selection to music, compression and upload. Is this a slideshow ? Some would call it video.

Goyder’s Line

Richard — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 04:19:09 +0000

Changing climatic conditions have reinforced the early wisdom of Goyder’s Line in South Australia. A slideshow based on a magazine feature.

Rebirth of the Aral Sea

Richard — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 04:18:17 +0000

On location news team. Audio recorded via telephone. Production, recording and original music by MultimediaAction.

Climate – the year in review

Richard — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 04:17:01 +0000

An end-of-year special produced for one of Australia’s top news websites. We handled all production from the concept, picture selection and production, right through to music composition, video compression and upload. Note the use of our “flat-3D” technique to give the pictures extra depth and movement.

The Mugabe regime

Richard — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 04:13:31 +0000

This is a classic “on deadline” news slideshow. A telephone interview with former foreign minister Alexander Downer was combined with news images of Mugabe’s regime in Zimbabwe.

Prince Harry on the frontline

Richard — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 04:05:56 +0000

Breaking news stories need a fast response. We combined images from the UK Ministry of Defence with an interview, edited the track, balanced the volumes, synchronised images & audio, everything and had this up within 90 minutes.

A hero’s vision of Gallipoli

Richard — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 23:32:43 +0000

When previously unpublished photographs of the Gallipoli operation were uncovered of course they deserved a gallery online. But pictures alone, no matter how good, usually lack the intensity of a multimedia piece. But what soundtrack would be appropriate ? As well putting this show together, we tracked down the obscure "Boys of the Dardanelles" song held by the University of California, and did extensive audio restoration work on it. Subjects such as Gallipoli need careful treatment.
