Hungry Here's an example of an amazing multimedia piece by Maisie Crow of Patuxent Publishing (for a few more months... 'till she joins the ranks of great OU grad students). You can read the story here. To sum it up, it's the story of a father and son and their battle against a debilitating disorder. Thirteen-year old Max suffers from a rare genetic disorder called Prader-Willi Syndrome that makes him feel he as if is starving all the time. Max says of Lon, a single dad, “He’s the one who mostly takes care of me.” And what makes it great is that it's not multimedia for multimedia's sake. It's not some shoddily constructed, repetitive SoundSlides that was hastily done "for the web." The thing that sets it apart is that not only are the pictures incredible for their depth and quality of moments, but the sound and video actually add to the story telling. I was lucky enough to work along side Maisie at a workshop last year, and I can vouch first hand for her dedication to her subjects and her commitment to quality, in both the images and the story-telling.
