I am a recovering videoblogger that have for a long time been interested in alternative, non-linear, ways of telling a story with video. Or, rather, to let the viewer tell a story with media fragments that I make available for them. However, I have not made a single video (I think) which has further explored this, even though I did make tons of videos during the first years of my videoblogging (04-06).
I heard about Korsakow from Adrian Miles and others discussing it on a mailing list I subscribe to. Having followed Adrians work with interest for quite a few years (although from quite some distance, not really using inspirations from it in my own work yet), I decided that I want to try this out. Try use some of my countless old clips (online or offline) for an alternative storytelling. Un-narrative.
Me, I mostly did talking head videos, or I did videos like this, where the rhytm of text becomes more important than the quality of the image or the subject-matter's interestingness.
Anyway: I am 31 years old, and I come from Norway where I work. I co-organize VlogEurope, which is a yearly small event for videobloggers since 2005.
At the moment, I have quite some troubles getting Korsakow to actually work on my PC, and I look forward to experimenting with the software and getting to know you all.
Best,
