If you haven't seen this multimedia piece by Tim Hussin, you need to. It's hands down my favorite SoundSlides show of the year. Not only are there quality photographs, but the sound actually compliments and adds to the story telling, instead of just being a necessary evil of narration or an interview just for the sake of having an interview behind the photos. But the best part is that "Kids With Guns" shows me something I haven't seen before and makes me feel something, as all good work should.
About the piece, Tim says:
I was driving around and saw these kids playing guns at an abandoned church. The scene was good enough, but then these kids really got into it, acting out different battles, screaming and falling. Some actually knew their history too. So, I grabbed some audio from the back of my camera and threw together a slideshow with some necessary dramatization. It was probably a waste of time I could be using to do something more productive, but it was fun for me.
