<videovortex> 1000 stories

[Seth Keen]

These are vignettes of people in a type of environmental portraiture  
style. Florian in a vlog structure publishes candid interviews where  
he lets the people talk openly, along with short clips that he  
narrates their personal stories over the top of with subtitles in  
English and other written stories with supporting images. These posts  
viewed as a group begin to demonstrate his simple intention  to  
provide his viewpoint on another country through a process of  
interaction with people with a video camera. The varying approaches  
used to capture these stories also begin to utilise the multi-format  
nature of a blog where there is a potential to document a subject in  
a number of ways used mixed-media.

"Starting in New York on October 1, Florian Thalhofer, a new-media  
artist and documentary filmmaker from Berlin, will travel all over  
the United States by motorcycle (generously provided by BMW), while  
U.S. filmmaker Mark Simon will travel throughout Germany by car.  
During their month-long journeys, each filmmaker will write about his  
experiences, collect stories, and conduct interviews, all of which  
will be posted daily at www1000stories.com – their video log."

"Their route will be determined by interested folks in the U.S. and  
in Germany who reply to their "Americans wanted"/ "Germans wanted" ad  
on the web. Readers are invited to get in touch via  
www1000stories.com to suggest itineraries and potential interview  
candidates and to comment on the project."
