To continue the speculative sketching process, Errol and I have chosen to go with the idea:

3. Skate Video on Different Platforms

The case study and skate video in general are suitable for distribution among unrestricted, linear online services. However, what would happen to skate video when it is distributed across a variety of different platforms? Also, what happens to skate video when it’s structure is reorganised or it becomes interactive?

To test the relevance of this idea and also potentially seek further development of the idea, we tried to come up with 14 sketch to address this notion:

1. Vine – what happens to skate video when it is distributed through Vine?

2. Snapchat- what happens to skate video when it is distributed through Snapchat?

3. GIF- what happens to skate video when it is distributed via GIF?

4. Silence – what happens to skate video when it is created without music?

5. No SFX – what happens to skate video when it is created without sound effects (without the syncronised audio)?

6. Special Effects – what happens to skate video, when is created with special effects?

7. Transitions – what happens to skate video when it is created purely from transitions?

8. Context Mix – what happens to skate video when it is mixed with other sports, music, news, etc?

9. Blog Posts – what happens to skate video when it is distributed through blog posts and what might this look like?

10. Photos – what happens to skate video when it is created solely from photos?

11. Sound – what happens to skate video when it is created solely from sounds?

12. Resolution – what happens to skate video when the pixel resolution is altered?

13. Interactivity – what happens to skate video when it includes user submitted content?

14. Documentary – what happens to skate video when it is presented like a documentary and what might that look like?

(This question and sketches were further developed – see later blog posts – final probe here)
