Tutorial on scrollytelling with scrollama? #184
|
I would love to see a tutorial on scrollytelling in CB-Essay using scrollama. Specifically, I'm interested in creating the kind of text-over-image explainers that Idyll was designed to make possible, using photos, maps, manuscript images, etc. Has anyone already done this? |

Check out the additions we just made to CB-Essay to include some text-over image, maps, or videos: There are also two galleries that provide examples and code for using the options. These weren't included options before, so everything is new and untested. And if you have a CB-Essay instance going already, you'll want to make a new copy and move your content over to the new version. If you run into bugs, please let me know! These new options are pretty cool, but they also add a lot of complexity to pages, so I'd like to harden them as best as I can. Cheers, |

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks, @dcnb! I look forward to playing around with these new features. One question: is it possible to substitute a large image broken into tiles for one of the map options? StoryMapJS supports substituting a zoomify-tiled image for a map, and I've done that for this guided tour of a hand-drawn map in Thoreau's Journal. (I created the tiles using libvips.) My objective is to be able to "fly," on scroll, to different regions of a manuscript image containing authorial text, and accompany each new landing place with an explanatory text box pointing out manuscript features. Thanks again! |

Started working on it here, @WhatTheDickens --> https://github.com/CollectionBuilder/cb-essay/tree/tiled-image-map Would require a different way of processing your images (just a different flag in vips) but seems to work ok. Want to try it out and test it more when I have more time, but feel free to grab and check it out |
