Storytelling

In 1999, it was storytelling that distinguished Quokka Sports from other online sports sites such as ESPN and SportsLine.

Quokka Sports immersed its audience into the experience of athletic competition and achievement by combining words, images, audio, video and data analysis into compelling features or chronicles. Quokka's goal was to give viewers a glimpse of an athlete's experiences from a personal perspective.

I've gathered together some of the chronicles I built while working on the site for the round the world sailing race called the BT Global Challenge. The images and words of each piece were transmitted via satellite from the middle of the ocean by crewmembers aboard each boat.

These chronicles were built using Flash. You will need the Flash plug-in to view them. The plug-in is available for download at the Macromedia web site.
