Stratton Interview

Well the Bryant & Stratton Interview went really well. Got a tour and a talk with admin. really interesting stuff. Something unexpected happened too that I thought was interesting. I was very concerned with keeping the screen clear of clutter, maps, popup windows, even names and usual visual ques built into second life.ff I tried to keep my capture from seeing these things. Half way through my interview a lady from McGraw Hill joined our conversation and began asking questions through the text window. these texts appeared in my capture window much to my dismay. I then realized that a back channel was being created within my interview. This is something that would never happen in traditional documentary filmmaking, but because there were no camera's no boom pole etc. Tammy, had no idea I was recording. The back channel added a whole other level of conversation that was remarkable. I see a whole new genre breaking out here. There's a lot of possibilities I had never considered. I am officaially coining the phrase, Machinamentary!!! I googled it and it doesn't exist so it's mine.

  1. "Machinamentary", I like it! You are the father of the machinamentarianism movement!

  2. That does sound very cool. To be honest though I had to read the cnet article to figure out what you were even talking about!

    Nice work on the Machinamentary as well. You should documenting your documentary and releasing the two projects as one! Cement your status as the machinamentary Quentin Tarantino.
