I had planned to release the trailer for my web documentary, “The Innovators,” at Saturday’s BarCamp NewsInnovation, the culminating event for Philly Tech Week. Long story short, the trailer will be released in the next seven to 10 days.
While I didn’t get a chance to show my trailer, I picked up useful tips about interactive storytelling at the session on the Knight Mozilla News Technology Partnership. One of the participants made this drawing as I shared the story of how the idea to produce the video popped into my head as I passed the Divine Lorraine Hotel in Philadelphia.
In “Gone with the Wind,” Butterfly McQueen famously said: “I don’t know nothin’ ‘bout birthin’ babies!”
I’m a DIY filmmaker who knows little about web-based movies. But “The Innovators” is my baby so I will learn. Well, at least learn enough to know what questions to ask.
So pass the Popcorn.
