Tiffany Shlain Melds Collaboration & Cloudsourcing Into Cloud Filmmaking [Video]
Posted in: Today's ChiliThere’s a myriad number of techie memes that have entered our zeitgeist
derived from a term we use to simply call "collaboration." Pre-Internet,
dating back to the idiom or trope of "Hey, Lets Put On A Show,"
Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney were the first in movies to introduce a
plot line signaling the need for collaboration. Today, instead of
orphans trying to raise money to turn a barn into a stage, filmmakers
are looking to the clouds not only for funding but also inspiration.

’30 Rock’ Reinvented Situation Comedy, While Biting The Hand That Feeds [Videos]
Posted in: Today's ChiliTina Fey’s 30 Rock was a surreal sitcom that turned the genre on
its head. High and low-brow comedy are treated as equals where
punch-drunk punchlines often sail over the heads of even the most
die-hard Feysians! To reinvent the 30-minute format, Fey also stole a
page out of David Letterman’s playbook – that is, disparaging jabs at
its own TV network.
George Orwell’s ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’ written in 1949 appears to have
entered the world’s zeitgeist almost 30 years later than the author’s
prognostication. The satirical novel set in the fictional country of
Oceania describes a dystopian society tyrannized by omnipresent
government surveillance. Today, the TV Show ‘Person of Interest’
introduces a similar theme by replacing Orwell’s ‘Big Brother’ with ‘The
Machine.‘ Is a world of paranoia within our midst?
