Comments: “You have the video — but you have a way to curate through the tags the kind of video. Instead of curating words, you’re curating video. It feels like a conversation, not just a singular piece. It brings a new kind of experience to the storytelling. The navigation is done brilliantly, which makes the reader want to stay with the piece longer. The comments, both where they are in the sequence and the fact that it’s brave to include, is necessary and well-done. Trying to design video experiences is a tall order — this is done well.”
