For Digital Storytelling Weekly Updates: http://digitalstorytellingseminar.blogspot.com/
Amazing!
It is rare to have a
time when the schedule has no seminar happening immediately. And rare as it may be, that time is now.
A few of the
important responsibilities will now get some attention. The most important make up the best of this
week’s letter.
The TDS Digital Landscape
An inside survey is
being conducted. We’re looking to
identify any and all software from Microsoft.
As their company rumble on towards the public launch of Windows 8, we
want to tag along. To start, having a
tidy file of all things Microsoft will help move us to the next step.
There will be a
transition to a common platform for all that we do. Our integration of all aspects of our
universe into one productive framework is a dream come true. The recent flurry of activity makes our
decision to adopt the Windows 8 platform a lot more interesting.
In fact, Thornhill Digital Storytelling will soon announce plans to
be part of a 30-company campaign to learn more about efficient PC platforms and
the expected integration.
Facilities
TDS does well when
it comes to identifying interesting venues for our events. Meetings can be held anywhere. Recent conversations with associates in
Jersey City have included a quick look at dates to build a seminar for that
market.
Wouldn’t it be
wonderful to have a dedicated space as the office for the management of
Thornhill Digital Storytelling?
The desks, lamps,
file cabinets and file transfer file boxes are ready to go.
Crew
Interestingly enough
a few capable companies have responded to our call for partners. The structure of the initiative is
solid. The research continues –
guaranteeing an always-great seminar. There
could now be partners for administration, TDS NEWS and TDW NEWS Digital.
Industry Growth
We started as a
projected service for writers in the television industry. The interests of documentary filmmakers came
next. Now, we seemed to be swamped with
news and announcements about “Branded Content.”
Product Development
The Documentary
Funding Proposal seminars are
the core of this evolution. We all learn
more about the industry as we research and produce events.
Publishing is
showing at a calm, regulated pace.
Our crossroads this
month is to decide on the publication schedule.
Should the printed TDS NEW continue on a Per Event basis or move up to
slippery slope of monthly or quarterly issues.
TDS NEWS, as 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.
Suppliers
Here’s a challenge –
can we find 3 companies for each of the elements in the 50 Steps To Documentary
Success. For instance, when we suggest
regular meetings, is it ok to list one or more meeting planners?
Continuity
Our planning
meetings do not have a regular schedule.
Here again, should we have weekly or monthly sessions. So let’s pull out the calendar, talk to our
current partners and start building a bigger, grander structure and project.
