Multimedia
What is it?
Lights, camera, action! Whether its audio, animation, graphics or video, multimedia is the fine art of presenting multiple forms of content in an electronic format to inform or entertain an audience. With multimedia, you can create content that takes communication to the next level. Live or recorded streaming video, for example, can be merged with a navigation function to communicate more powefully than written content alone. Multimedia also carries with it the opportunity to set up user control, encouraging an interactive experience for your user. Interested in creating interactive games? Writing scripts and bringing them to life? Turning a boring presentation into something people seek out to watch? Multimedia offers a tremendous array of tools.
