I have recently been combining documentary media with the theory-rich academic paper. The result is digital papers. two have been published in peer reviewed journals.
Filming (2017) is in Screenworks: http://screenworks.org.uk/archive/volume-8-1/filming
and A portrait of Judith Buckrich (2016) is in Sightlines: http://www.aspera.org.au/research/a-portrait-of-judith-buckrich/
