The art of story and making things.
June 28, 2014Stories about making things. They certainly compliment each other. And for me personally, any piece of work with a human element creating something is fascinating and powerful.
Storytelling with visuals, music, graceful pacing and text narrative, all combining into an inviting vehicle for a viewer’s experience. If there is one thing out of place or out of the emotive rhythm of the story, it does not go unnoticed. By contrast, the eloquent precision of a good visual story can elevate us and not release us until the final frame.
This is what I felt when watching the work of Greek visual storytellers and artists at Deep Green Sea.
One thing I love in the work that I viewed is the inviting manner in which the motion tracking visual effects of text and graphics is never interrupted by the presence of a voiceover. Yet the story is clear and the human relationally of what you are seeing and experiencing shines through without interruption. In a world where sometimes motion graphics are put in a video for the sake of maintaining interest, I sometimes wonder if it’s because the story isn’t as compelling as it could be. Regardless, a consideration when planning how your audience will receive your story.
Gorgeous videography, editing, music and storytelling. Enjoy.
