nonlinear statement

Using music, voice, and sound effects allows the viewer to imagine there own story; possibly one off screen, past or possibly future. Combined with video or images this can create a whole new story one that might be more guided by the visuals. Simultaneous communication of sound and imagery can set a different tone and you can move the viewer into a different mind set. It was difficult keeping it interesting but also functional with the limited amount of capabilities. Being the designer I definately set a lot of limitations by the amount of interaction possible. The user must search for the actions (these were always my favorite kinds of interactive flash sites, the kinds were you have to look for what you can do then you get a surprise when you find them and then you can start working with layering). The user is able to overlap sound on sound and sound on video, its a pretty limited experience but with 5 sound effects (including the sound mark) a narration, and 2 songs and 4 videos the amount of combinations are very high.
