Caitlin Burns: "Microcelebrities and in-jokes have gone global. Rare is the life untouched by memes and even if you don’t know their individual formal titles, you’ve probably encountered Scumbag Steve, Nyan Cat or of course– the current Queen of Internet Memes: Grumpy Cat™."
The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:
And, here's another informative article for those interested in internet memes: The lifespan of a meme: The rise and fall of Grumpy Cat and other Internet celebrities. Note: The picture of Grumpy Cat, above, is from this second article.

De term 'Binge-viewing' is eigenlijk wel grappig: net als het achteroverslaan van ettelijke kratten bier en wodka ineen zuipkeet comazuipen heet, is het kijken van een hele serie op een dag een vorm van comakijken. Wij doen het in ieder geval regelmatig en er is geen betere manier om de boze buitenwereld buiten te sluiten dan dat. Wat vind jij?

Justin Nalepa's curator insight,
December 20, 2012 11:32 AM
In applying this to documentary filmmaking, I think the "Varied Monetization" section to be particularly interesting. As most documentary films don't have a very long or wide release in theatres, exploring other venues for splitting up the rights to your project may prove to be a more successful and lucrative option for most independent filmmakers.

"Ideally before any show begins production we'll sit down with our TV development team, the show's creators and our marketing and digital teams to kick around social ideas and discuss what we think makes the most sense for that particular show. We focus on ideas that complement the show's content, that will have a wide reach and that are technically feasible to achieve. Our major emphasis is that any social TV content has to feel organic to the audience and authentic to the show, not like it's a force fit, because that's not fun for anyone. We'll discuss dozens of ideas and then hone in on the one that makes the most sense. Sometimes that's a variation on something we've done before, but most often it's something that no one has tried before. Those are the most gratifying." Delete the scoop?

"There’s a huge underserved population today who are consuming content on their phones and we’re giving them a crappy experience.

It's all about Visual Storytelling. If you make Comic's or Animation movies the most important thing is the story it self: Both genre is Visual but both need the same thoughts behind them to make a great script and let it become alive.
