This project was only possible with the support of Edgar Flores (National Director) and Daniel Páez (Communications Manager) of World Vision Colombia. Together with their staff they worked tirelessly to ensure these extraordinary stories would be told with honesty and integrity.
We acknowledge and thank Seth Keen for helping initiate this project as part of his doctorial research at RMIT University. In part, this project builds on an industry partnership with the Videodefunct Collective of Seth Keen, David Wolf and Keith Deverell sponsored by RMIT University, School of Media and Communication and the Design Research Institute. While unable to support this project to publishing, RMIT encouraged World Vision to develop new approaches towards online video storytelling and we are grateful for this input.
Paul Prickett and Nick Bruning of involved.com.au masterfully and intuitively responded to our field stories. Their interactive logic and interface design creates a wonderful, logical and immersive environment for users. Thanks guys.
And finally, we thank the people of Bogota, Colombia who graciously and generously share their lives, homes and experiences with us.
