Media From Port Aero, a multimedia novel

  • 4 years ago
This video was created by concatenating the various media from my multimedia eNovel, Port Aero. It includes short video clips, original music cues and themes, sound effects, concept sketches, graphics, photos and JavaScript-animated graphics. In the novel, most of the video clips are hidden until the reader taps a small inline play button. Most of the videos appear behind the text and are lightened so the reader can continue reading while the video and audio play. The media here are in chapter order, but the storyline won’t be clear from them because the story is told in the text. The accompanying media are designed to provide context and heighten the reader’s emotional response as they read.

Following is a list of the stock media included in the novel and in this video. I’ve left the media that I created, like the music and concept sketches, uncredited.
