Concept
Many companies are enjoying tremendous success because they offer a way for any and every person to document themselves. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn and the mighty BlogSpot are just a few of the successes riding the wave of “digital storytelling” and the surging wave of digital media, digital devices and digital expectations.
This year, the tablet computer and downloads on our smartphones give us presentation possibilities from basic color to full-motion video. Even the e-reader has made a strong comeback. There is no turning back.
As creative folks, we are no longer restricted to desktop computers, stand-alone cameras, printers and personal binding. With an Olympus recorder, a Flip camera, or even a camera on your cell phone, one could become a walking studio.
The entertainment industries are now willing to review these digital storytelling steps to seek new creative talent, to review works-in-progress and to even build their own television shows and movies.
I am banking on the premise that individuals, organizations, companies and government offices will soon become very sophisticated communicators.

With new search, production, and distribution tools being offered every week, I am sure that each of us will want to know how to make our message clearer and our image stronger.
Are you planning to build your own creative endeavor? Are you working up the materials for a full-length documentary? If so, digital storytelling in general and our own brand, Thornhill News Digital Storytelling is for you.
Digital Storytelling covers owning your story, telling your story and adding digital tools to more efficiently handle information gathering, processing and distribution.

Digital Storytelling as a work process is a hotbed for collaborative development and production. Team members and workshop participants will learn from one another and your end product will surely gain from the combined intellect, energy and projections.
And please remember, if our thoughts and conversations about business collaboration are going to be relevant, some financial gain will have to come from these successes.
If your associates can’t relate to Digital Storytelling, try the terms Multimedia or Branded Entertainment. We will offer examples in these and many other subcategories
To insure that we have a solid program, each of our seminar presentations will be delivered in a how-to workshop style that everyone can use and I will display specific examples from my own inventory to show actual working models.
With new search, production, and distribution tools being offered every week, I am sure that each of us will want to know how to make our message clearer and our image stronger.
In mid-February we will take our show on the road to Los Angeles. This is a first. As we prepare for this jaunt, I’m sure there will be a lot of new questions raised. If you want the seminar to come to your community, put your request in and let us consider the schedule and all the related issues.
Checklist
Our list is designed to prepare your for production of your documentary. One of the most important element is time management and another is having sufficient dollars to complete your project. Our caution is that you plan to work for 3 years towards the goal of releasing the project and expect to spend approximately two million dollars.
The Thornhill News Digital Storytelling Seminar Checklist, provided with our compliments at each seminar, takes you through the basics to prepare for your presentation for the funding and moves you into the steps to secure production, digital distribution and recognition by your peers and audiences.
Schedule
This will continue to grow and to be more attractive. We can usually see three months ahead, but confirmations come in slowly.
