Pixel Lab Summation

The Pixel Lab was an immense success and I had an amazing time there. I learned a vast amount and it turned my project around. This was the first time that I have seen/heard of/been involved with great transmedia creatives being put together with influential commissioners and business people under the single banner of furthering this new form of storytelling.

As I sat at the last dinner (before running away swiftly from the dreaded 'organised welsh dancing') - I had great conversations around the table about the context of the Lab, transmedia, the wider world of rapidly changing media and what is to come. After 10+ years (many in the wilderness) trying to build a creative career telling stories with new technology I am now starting to feel that the world is catching up and this kind of work will find a home in front of a bigger audience than I have ever dared to wish for.

Lastly a quote from one of my favourite film makers - Stanley Kubrick:

'Sometimes the truth of a thing is not so much in the think of it, but in the feel of it.'
