Out My Window

NFB, Kitchener 2009-2010

An Emmy-Award-winning narrative web experience that takes you on a journey through the lives and places of people around the world

Role: Technical Director (Imaginarius)

As just one of the entries in Kat Cizek’s documentary series HIGHRISE, Out My Window takes the viewer inside the living spaces of people around the world. When Out My Window was being produced, Adobe Flash was very popular and very powerful, including a robust 3D framework. Out My Window took advantage of this technology and rendered animated 360 degree photographic collages of the living spaces of documentary’s subjects, letting the viewer explore distant urban spaces through their browser.

Its stories, photography, videography, execution, and sound design earned it the International Digital Emmy Award in 2011. It was also nominated for a Webby Award, and won the One World Media’s New Media Award.
