The First Of A Two-Part Post

Monday, June 25 & Tuesday, June 26, 2012 - Week 27

Digital Storytelling As Documentary Process

Creating Programming For Digital Media

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

For Digital Storytelling Weekly Updates: http://digitalstorytellingseminar.blogspot.com/

As you might have noticed from last week’s news, there are many changes afoot.  One seminar scheduling change has given us the opportunity to roll on a few things that we thought could not happen until mid-July.

But I won’t tease.

Two important dates will set the tone for a new look, a healthy new quarter and the structure for two new relationships.

The first date is a planning meeting to be held Thursday, June 28, from 11:00 AM to 2:30 PM at the Seattle Public Library – Green Lake Branch.  Street address: 7364 E. Green Lake Drive, N. 98105.  This gathering is free and open to the public.  If you need additional information, don’t hesitate to send an inquiry to thornhillnews@hotmail.com.

The second date is our next Thornhill Digital Storytelling Documentary Proposal seminar.  We have moved from the expected Baltimore date to Bellevue, Washington.

A flyer follows this note.

In our date for this issue, you might notice there are two dates; today and tomorrow.  Because the changes can be made a little earlier, a special edition will be available for you - covering all the points tomorrow, Tuesday, June 26, 2012.

So, review the post from last week, set your calendar for Bellevue – July 16 and check the flyer or Eventbrite for details.

Thanks.

Documentary Funding Proposals

What’s Your Story?

The focus of this leading-edge workshop is showing how to link the many necessary parts – from inception, through creative, technology and production, to traditional or digital distribution and real world business development.  These are the elements that will make your funding proposal rise above all the rest.

The agenda for this brand of storytelling covers more than 50 items.  Each is offered in a way that shows how to be a winner in the specific category, yet still blend them all into a meld that guarantees continuity and continuous improvement. 

Are you expected to integrate digital assets into your documentary funding proposal?  If you, your organization, office or company are planning a film, television show, radio special, Internet presentation or a interactive photo essay, the answer is yes!

To create a digital documentary using a competitive, multiplatform model, your timeline could be 3 years.  Also, expect that your expenses might creep to $2 Million or more. 

As we each grow beyond web sites and social media, Digital Storytelling is turning into a hotbed for collaborative development and ever-expanding production crews.  Team members learn from one another and your end product gains from the combined intellect, energy and projections.  This means greater expenses.

If your associates can’t relate to Digital Storytelling as a genre, try Multimedia, Transmedia, Webisodes, Branded Content or even Branded Entertainment.  We offer these and many subcategories in the Thornhill Digital Storytelling seminar. 

TDS NEWS, our detailed event program, is complimentary at the seminar and includes:

·         The Thornhill Digital Storytelling “50 Steps To Documentary Success” checklist and
up-to-date industry examples and news links. 

·         The publication lists “Everyday Resources” a slate of industry stalwarts providing no-cost,
e-mailed, daily information reports on individuals, companies and trends in digital media.
