DECONSRUCT CONTENT BRIEF
DIGITAL EXPEDITIONS/STORYETLLING EXAMPLES:

The following brief will walk you through the core aspects of a major expeditions/story’s. I will supply basic information as requested
covering:

 Story: Location, Theme/Issue


 Encounter: Characters & Projects
 Interaction & Collaborations: Audience, Celebrity, NGO and Academic
 Assets: current, procurable & UGC indications

In addition I have offered a walkthrough and deeper details of the projects. I advise that you read these first to gain a broad but
colorful perspective on the journeys. They are intrepid and exciting… Two of our core values.

DYNAMIC, FIELD DEPLOYED WEB CONTENT

A High-Tec Story telling… generic overview of content capture types


Each day of the expedition the team accumulates and captures a variety of dynamic multimedia content: high-definition video and stills, 360 panoramas, ‘Geo-
Immersive’ Video; sound samples, GPS tracking/route information, multi camera video streams, sat mapping etc. By utilising a selection of hi-tech tools – night
vision, thermal, digital hi-speed, underwater, PVR CAM (multiple body worn web-cams) and HOVERCAM (a remote controlled helicopter for aerials) – we can
deliver ‘special feature’ content when applicable. By applying cutting-edge communications equipment at a grass roots level, we explore the human landscape,
dig into issues, meet with fascinating characters, face challenges and overcome obstacles to get the inside story, while we receive advice and guidance from
the viewers and people on-line as the journey unfolds.

2
The following offers a snap shot of some of these tools and how they will enrich the users experience within the context of our interactive journey

INPUTS & FEEDS FROM EXPEDITION TEAMS


(1) TEXT BASED DIARY ENTRIES: delivered from each team: Wiki and text-cloud linked
(2) STILL IMAGE: hi-res static imagery: geo located, linked to flickr & GE
(3) SOUND BITES: ambient samples, narration and music based feeds and Podcasts
(4) VIDEO: Multiple formats: standard ‘store and forward’ through to live selectable cameras, immersive meta-linked narrative (see detail) and Geo-
immersive (see detail)
(5) BIOMETRICS: Emsense Systems
(6) GEO IMMERSIVE VIDEO: 360 Geo-locative Video, (example Whales), TRIBE BOATS: SOUTH PACIFIC TRIBAL FISHERMAN
(7) COASTAL PATROL RAID ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING GAS OIL EXAMPLE HELICOPTER
(8) QTVR & ORB VIEW: 360 Stills with hotspots (drill down content enabled) geo located
(9) KMZ/KML: Fly path & pinpoint: auto aggregated GPS path information uploaded daily from each team
(10) DATA OVERLAYS: Similar to and embracing Google Outreach programs: supplied by NGO’s (Royal Geographical Society, Earthwatch Institute, WWF)
(11) Overlays (additional) UGC, utilising weather and satellite tracking system
(12) VIDEO (ADVANCED): interviews & encounters: live linked selectable cameras, two way video IM interface & interaction.

In addition, I have attached a few mind maps at the end of this document and placed the original versions along with other relevant web development
resources, on the 80ways BASECAMP
.

EXAMPLE OF FEED UTILISATION:


VIDEO: This content type breaks down into: standard store & forward, non-linear immersive narrative, 360 geo immersive, selectable perspective & body
worn lipstick cameras, night vision, thermal, underwater and RC heli-cam aerial. For the purpose of this document we have focused on one type ‘Non Linear
immersive Narrative’ illustrating how it can be used in the context of our journeys, with specific relevance to Google’s many applications:

3
Video Feed:
A Video report from the field is sent via satellite to our web team and servers: This video has Meta tag data embedded within its time line. These are simple key
words that call for associated data as the video plays out.

Example: While travelling through the region the team meets a tribe to explore issues related to land rights and deforestation.
The narrative of the piece to camera reveals a number of key points that can be supported by aggregated content: As the video plays within its screen, meta-
data embedded into the time code, calls up deeper ‘drill down’ information in many forms. Ideally this additional information is seamlessly presented in
surrounding web space, alternatively it could be drawn into windows and frames of specific types (see below). The idea being that these, additional content
sources: enforce, inform and support the core narrative supplying the user with contextual information of many types. A simple mouse click pauses the video
and links to content type.

This content falls into 6 main categories. Each embedded meta tag will action a search on each category as the video plays; momentarily presenting that
information to the user as a ‘drill down’ option.

1. Mapping: Contextual to location; maps automatically orientate to area


2. News: relevant feeds and recent stories, articles and commentary
3. Regional History & Fact Files: supply a historical context, Expeditions maps and details, country wide data, etc.
4. Video & Imagery: specific to issue, highest rated long & short form documentaries, and commentary, contextual Flickr and UGC imagery
5. Organisations: Issues & Actions: Solution Seekers: Issue specific organisations working on issue in focus
6. UGV Video: Reactions and comments to story… ‘your shout’ (delivery, display and management systems categorizing and prioritizing content

4
7. Get Involved/Take Me There: ‘Volunteer Opportunities’ supplied by the Earthwatch Institute and its area specific or issue specific projects
8. Read More: Associated deeper information; from books on subjects
9. Discussion: themes and treads

Each is automatically drawn from the web and archives supplied by our NGO collaborators. Wikis & Tag Clouds may also support these systems supplying a
dynamic visual and contextual navigation system.

80WAYS: STORIES MATRIX

TITLE: PIRATE TRIBES & VOLCANOES (TEAM ONE LED BY JUSTIN HALL)
THEMIC LINE: OLD TRAILS NEW WAYS (21st Century Expedition).
The great explorers…a historical perspective revealing how much has changed since ‘the golden years of exploration’.

BROAD JUSTIFICATION & AUDIENCE HOOK: 2009 will see the 200 th Anniversary of the publication of Darwin’s ‘Origin of the species’.
As others focus on Darwin, our high tech collaborative journey takes a different path! Little known but widely held, Darwin was
accused of plagiarising the work of others, most notably the intrepid explorer and naturalists … … Sir Alfred Wallace.

The Wallace journey (as below) and its timely association with Darwin session (major BBC series etc) represents a tangible but broad
narrative line (audience ‘HOOK’) that allows us to explorer (in unprecedented ways) what has happened to the region in the 200
years since it was first ‘discovered’ by the great explorer. The historical context of the region is immense. The search for the Spice
Islands and later the North Western passage represents a tipping point in history and the birth of so call modern exploration.
Spice was not the only commodity that returned on the ships, knowledge of the wider world also flowed into the commercial hubs
the western world…. Expanding the horizons of modern man and revealing the rich cultural, as well as commercial diversity of
distant shores…

Much has changed… as our journey will reveal.

5
LOCATION: South Pacific, Indonesian Island Group: Maluku, Halmahera, Kai and Banda (former Dutch Spice Islands), within the
Banda and Arafura Seas, touching on West Papua and Northern Sulawesi. This portion of the South East Asian expedition (lead by
Justin) points toward/continues into Micronesia and Polynesia (Corel Sea & Islands of the Kulu Ring).

LOCATION DYNAMIC/BACKGROUND: The Malaccan island chain sits astride one of the most active volcanic ranges in the world,
spanning an area comprised of over a thousand mountainous islands. It is an area of extreme natural beauty, of dense jungles and
pristine coral seas… a region where a hybrid of ancient Malay, Indonesian and Melanesian cultures converge, where head-hunters,
warriors and powerful shaman still live in comparative isolation. Our journey will reveal the historical significance of the region while
placing, in context, the many varied forces cultural, economic and otherwise
