StoryScope

Storyscope was a narrative software product commissioned by the European Union to  provide citizens with digital access to the wealth of cultural heritage objects within the EU.

Storyscope

Project Overview

For this video project, I assumed the roles of designer, scriptwriter, and director, crafting a visual narrative to promote activities within a European research project. The project's primary focus was the development of software products tailored for national museums and libraries in the cultural heritage sector. The software, known as Storyscope, was designed to generate compelling stories around cultural heritage objects.

What is a Dossier?

Part of a series explaining the concepts behind the software, the video explained the capabilities and function of the software. The overarching aim was to empower museum professionals and visitors with the ability to research, develop, and present stories, and to connect cultural objects across diverse museum collections.

Why Use a Dossier?

The video conveyed the Storyscope’s capacity to generate captivating narratives and illuminated the possibilities for enriching cultural heritage exploration. The integration of design, scripting, and directing ensured a coherent and engaging narrative that effectively communicated the software's purpose and benefits.

Testimonials

I worked with James for over 10 years in Technological University Dublin. Not only does James have top class cross platform design skills, he also has a deep understanding of teasing out and determining client needs and capabilities. This was a critical skill to us in academia as it complimented the academic experts who are traditionally not enterprise facing and don't speak a commercial language. By being a bridge between these two worlds, he was extraordinarily effective at managing projects and delivering solutions on time and on budget. He was particularly skillful at developing proposals and writing reports that would meet both academic and commercial standards. This is a fairly unique skillset, in my opinion
