Re:Show HN: Hollow, an interactive documentary by rgbrgb on Saturday September 14, 2013 @02:19PM (#6386520)
In my opinion this would have been better as a movie. The only interactivity was scrolling down the page to control the speed of the montage. I think the strength of a Document vs a conventional documentary/montage thing is that you can introduce a lot more information in a format that isn't strictly linear. This was linear and oftentimes too busy in with the transitions. Also, the choppy speed of my mouse scrolling vs. a smooth constant speed montage actually makes it feel more busy during big transitions.

The tech is cool, but this instance of it isn't really doing it for me.
