Zeega. What is it? What is it for?

Zeega. What is it? What is it for?

Zeega is a storytelling platform.


It is a way of interacting with text, images, sounds, and animation. It's designed for creating online documentaries-- making interactive what formerly was passive.

Here's a particularly epic example: How I Got to Boston, by Ahmed Kabil, a community coordinator for Zeega.

Explore more Zeega productions at zeega.com. There are tutorials and videos to help you get started, or you can dive right in to this rich editing environment.




Remember: Zeega is optimized for the telling of documentaries, in a sense, but in a far more interactive way than the documentaries of our childhoods.











Imagine what Zeega could do with my favorite classic documentary films: here is Fred Rogers narrating the crayon making process, and here is another version, without narration but with one of my favorite pieces of music ever.

Imagine what Zeega could do with crayon factory footage. We're only beginning to experiment with this tool, but we're excited about it.
