- Judge's Comments (Deanne)
This multimedia piece was a unanimous first place for all of us. We were strongly moved by the piece. First of all we commend the photographer, writer and editors for their belief and commitment to telling a story about the war that we have not previously seen. There is a real immediacy of emotion for us being there when the family hears the news about their loved ones. The photography is outstanding. Images such as the opening photo of the casket going into the airplane is an unforgettable picture that will always stay with us. It feels like it will become the iconic image from the Iraq war. The judges all think this level of photography and story telling combined with strong design and ease of navigation is the bar we all should strive to reach in this new world of multimedia. It was photographed and edited with compassion and respect for the subject. Audio enhanced the experience of viewing the photos, adding another wonderful layer of information to this story. The judges felt credit should have been given to the designers and interactive producers who did a tremendous amount of work, along with the photographer and writer, to make this such a compelling piece of multimedia storytelling.
