All of us here at MediaStorm spend a lot of time looking for and talking about new stories, websites, and products that inspire us and help us to make better multimedia. We thought it would be fun to share some of our picks with you, with a little bit about why we liked the pieces, and get some ideas from everyone out there as well. We're starting off today with some projects we've been watching over the last couple of weeks. They aren't all new, it's by no means a comprehensive list, but hopefully it will get a dialogue going.

Obama, President: Harlem Part 1 & 2

The night of November 4, 2008, right after Obama's Victory Speech, Harlem was sparkling into joy, relief and euphoria. 'Feeling of accomplishment', state of shock, screams, smiles, dances, and hugs. It felt like landing on the moon. The joy was palpable, surreal, and entire. 'Pure joy' says the NYPD officer who normally would answer 'not allow to talk'. That night brought us all together to celebrate the unexpected. OBAMA. Magic keyword. A concept, a dream, and a need for change even bigger than the man behind it. But we needed the man. Obama O8!

MediaStorm produces ‘Condition: Critical, Voices from the War in Eastern Congo’ for Médecins Sans Frontières

Médecins Sans Frontières and MediaStorm have collaborated to produce Condition: Critical, Voices from the War in Eastern Congo. Hundreds of thousands of people are on the run, fleeing a war raging in eastern Congo in the provinces of North and South Kivu. They are frightened. Many are sick or wounded. Others have been harassed or raped, or have had everything they own stolen. For more than a decade, several armed groups and the army have been fighting each other in the Kivus. The violence has made it impossible for people to lead normal lives. Life isn’t just hard in the Kivus: this region is in critical condition. And things aren’t getting any better. The destiny of everyone in this region of Congo is shaped by the war. The story of their struggle to survive needs to be told. Condition: Critical features the photography of Cedric Gerbehaye.
