If you have a multimedia project that you're working on and you're a bit stuck on how to approach it or what to do next, I always find it helpful to look at other similar multimedia projects to get inspiration. If you're doing ethnographic research and need to put together a multimedia presentation of some sort, two sites (among many) come to mind.
The first is One in Eight Million, which are multimedia narratives put together by the New York Times. In a city as large as New York, it can seem easy to get lost in the crowd. One in Eight Million gives a snapshot into the lives of individual New Yorkers-- in images and narration that are simple yet powerful at the same time.
The Places We Live also takes an ethnographic approach in looking at how people in various locations around the world live. There is an interactive multimedia element to the digital narratives that is memorable and unique-- the use of ambient sound and photographs feels quite intimate and authentic.
If you come across any other multimedia based sites that would be good sources of inspiration, let us know!
