What’s your story of living in a river city like Pittsburgh?
Whether you were born in Pittsburgh, grew up here, moved here or moved away, the city’s three rivers leave a lasting impression on you.
Last year we set out to record your stories: your memories, concerns, hopes for the future and your frank recollections of how our rivers have changed over the years. We loved what we heard.
Now, we’ve had the pleasure of working with the supremely talented animator Scott Benson to bring your stories to life. Stay tuned as Riverlife debuts new animated videos throughout the spring and summer of 2011.
If we missed recording your story the first time, it’s not too late! Use the form to the right to upload your own one-minute video to YouTube. We might even select your story to become our next animated piece!
We recommend viewing these videos in full-screen mode for maximum awesomeness.
