High Point Cobbler

This was a cute story about a third generation cobbler in High Point, NC. The story is cute, but the narrative isn't exactly interactive. It only consists of an audio slideshow. There are no menus or anything. I guess there isn't much to add to a story about a cobbler...maybe it'd be more interesting if there was at least some video or a videoed interview. I was excited when I saw the zooming in and out of still photographs...I knew what it was called! The Ken Burns Effect :) I guess the little package served its purpose...it told a personalized story of dying breed. It didn't take long to load, which was another plus; but it did play the video automatically...there was no 'play' button. I like to have a little more control over things.
