QuarterLife.com

watched this new web show brought to us by the boys from thirysomething yet?

looks like tv on the web, with a weak pretend blog tie-in that seems like artifice. the production values are good, story is not bad but the credits at the end... i counted almost 80 seconds of them in an eight minute piece.... seems like that part of tv, all those people working on a web show, is overkill.

that being said i'm watching more and i look forwad to seeing where they go.

is it creative? yes. will it work? maybe? will these web guys stay in the web game? doubt it, the money's still in tv, but we're all watching and hoping there might be some kind of business model here that works because there are a lot of eager young filmmakers from those weeks out of film school to those still waiting on tables in hollyweird at age 40.

the herskovitz zwick team liked this model because of minimal network interference allowing them to deliver their idea with few barriers, but how long will that last?

the Story is King

Telling believable, real, relatable stories is the key to all great film and videomaking. This Blog centers on creativity and thought process that goes into making great moving pictures.

let's start with a video for MIT... simple, elegant, well designed with a crisp simple music track driving the stories.

what's not to like here. it's well lit, it doesn't try to do too much and it has students at MIT as the stars. it's hard to miss the final point here..... the students are smart and they are what it's all about.

too many stories got all caught up in the creative devices, yet they forget the story they are telling. In moving pictures the story and its development is KING. Let the king rule and don't let other things stand in its way.
