SXSW, the mecca of creative and artistic innovation had a panel submission option recently and I put in my own called “DIY Digital Showrunning: How To Create An Online Video Show”.  It was accepted into the panel submission forum (with the other 2210 entries) and now is part of a voting process which will help the option of it being picked for official selection.

The great thing about what I’m doing with SurfDonkey and Bad Dad (and the other shows I have previously started or have in development) is that each one is an evolving case study.  It is constantly changing and I learn and modify with each release.  The other great thing is that it captures the creative spirt that was instilled in me from NSCAD.  Just get out and do it.  Make art. Make work!

So you can help.

Here’s how:

Register at the SXSW Panel Picker then go to my DIY Digital Showrunning panel topic and vote me a thumbs up.

I’ve learned a ton of things about online video and believe that with the right tools and direction others can find their own story and create their own show.  You can too. Just drop me a note by clicking this text and we can talk…after you vote me up of course.
