Online Collaboration Works

As part of a project working for the Regional Screen Agency in the NW of England we've experimented with an on-line collaborative project DMEX (Digital Media Exchange). A bunch of TV Freelancers with no previous experience of an animation package called Machinima, had a one hour masterclass from Hugh Hancock, afurther face to face meeting to ascribe roles, then worked collaboratively online using things like Huddle, Skiype, Google Docs etc to script and produce an interpretation of Carol Ann Duffy's Education for Leisure.

You can view the final product on the link below.

Education for Leisure is now online and already getting rave reviews! It looks fantastic too!

The 'official' link advertised is on Vimeo (in HD):

Our next project is a pilot for an on-line soap based in a creative workspace, The Mill in Manchester, and produced entirely in Facebook.
