Audio in Rich Media

Apple have just updated their Pro website with some nice articles on integrating sound to create more dynamic journalism.

There’s loads of technical advice and info on essential equipment and some stories from journalists who use sound in some pretty cool ways.

“Audio can really make you feel like you’re there” says Nhat Meyer, a photojournalist who creates audio slideshows (a mixture of still photos with ambient sound and audio interviews) for the award-winning Mercury News in San Jose, California. “It can be as simple as natural or ambient sound, or it can be informative, through interviews. It definitely provides a multidimensional view of an event.” A great example is Meyer’s audio slideshow depicting the record-breaking 715th home run by the San Francisco Giants Barry Bonds. “You can hear the crack of the bat” exclaims Meyer.

If you’d like to talk to Audemos about creating your own sound enhanced media, email or call for a free consultation.
