“App: The Human Story” by Story & Pixel

My friend Jake told me a year ago he wanted to make a documentary exploring the profound impact the new notion of “app” has had on our culture. I got the shivers when he told me the idea.

Now, watching the trailer for what he and his co-director Jed have shot so far, I get the shivers again. This one’s going to be good. If you want to see more, consider supporting the Kickstarter. Jake and Jed are good people making a good thing.

This looks fantastic.

Six young men and women, who were arrested and detained in Tehran for making a video in which they danced to Pharrell William’’s hit song “Happy”. 

The description originally accompanying the video stated: “People of Tehran are happy! Watch and share our happiness! … We wish happiness for all the people around the world…. “Happy” was an excuse to be happy…Hope it brings a smile on your face.”  Apparently this is now a subversive message in Iran.

This is exactly what every sci-fi movie should aspire to be. This is where Lucas and Spielberg began, but sadly they got lost along the way in CG land, like everyone else. – Hat Tip to Nathan

Perfectly stated. Story and character still come first, even in sci-fi.

Creative Protesting

One unique form of protest is the “Automaidan.” The drivers just take their cars and block SWAT buses or whole police buildings to prevent the possible illegal actions against peaceful people.

BBC targets social media users with Instagram video news

BBC News is stepping up its efforts to reach new audiences on social media platforms after mobile and tablet viewing figures overtook desktop use for the first time in December.

On 16 January, BBC News launched Instafax, a new short-form video news service delivered to Instagram users. The project is a month-long experiment, with three 15-second videos uploaded a day, intended to serve as a roundup of the day’s news.
