the new dial tone (episode 1)

Part 1 – the new dial tone

Marc Ostrick and Michael Sean Wright set out to document a day at Blog World Expo in Las Vegas. Ostrick, Co-Founder of eGuiders teamed up with fellow documentarian Wright, founder of nicefishfilms, to take the pulse of what some are calling the new media ‘revolution’.

The gathering of bloggers, lifestreamers and seasoned journalists provided an opportunity to dialog with media producers from around the world. Ostrick and Wright attempted to push the limits of the current technology, shooting with Kodak Zi8 and Flip Ultra HD cameras.

The short doc is part of the conversation focused on the shifting landscape of media. The new dial tone is a dialog among media producers, technologists and bloggers who are looking to express their ideas into the stream of the real-time web.

The filmmakers shadowed Robert Scoble, early technology blogger-evangelist as he interacted with the influencers in social media.

“Social media… is the new dial tone,” according to author Chris Brogan.

Rock on gents! I love it. I would shoot our show on Zi8's or Flips if we didn't have to deal with low light conditions and the noise of restaurants.Mike Langford CEO, Tweetworks CO-Host NomX3

Great film. But you missed out on including some powerhouse women of Social Media, such as Mari Smith, Shama, The Bloggess and lots of other women who were at BlogWorld. Would have loved to have seen them in your video. Oh, well, it was still a good view.

Nice video and good use of the new pocket HD cams that are out there. The access of video and the means to distribute it at a near zero cost, is simply stunning....

I like the smooth messaging in your video. Nice change from the "look at me" blogger messages. I took down some notes on equipment too. I agre with Lorigama that I would like to see more women and hear their perspective on the topic. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for your comments on our video so far. I agree with Lorigama, that it would have been nice to get perspectives from women bloggers at the event. The next piece we do will surely have a female's viewpoint. We appreciate the feedback.
