For online video fans, two new eps of New Mediacracy are up where a bunch of us review 2011 and drink a shit ton of wine.
With GigaOm writer and Attack of the Show staff writer Liz Miller, writer/producer Bernie Su, IAWTV Award nominee and writer/director Brett Register, and What’s Trending CEO (also an IAWTV Award nominee) Damon Berger. Joining them is producer and Disney creative exec Zadi Diaz, and producer and Blip VP of Content Steve Woolf, all anchored by two-time Emmy nominee, writer/director Chris McCaleb.
Forgot to post this last week. Had a great time talking about the world of online video with these folks. Realized how much I missed having our regular New Mediacracy chats. Here’s to a great 2012.
According to Dave Evans, Cisco’s chief futurist and chief technologist for the Cisco Internet Business Solutions Group, about 5 exabytes of unique information were created in 2008. That’s 1 billion DVDs. Fast forward three years and we are creating 1.2 zettabytes, with one zettabyte equal to 1,024 exabytes. “This is the same as every person on Earth tweeting for 100 years, or 125 million years of your favorite one-hour TV show,” says Evans. Our love of high-definition video accounts for much of the increase. By Cisco’s count, 91% of Internet data in 2015 will be video.

Really subtle and gorgeous. Love what’s happening with CGI in the service of storytelling the past couple of years.
Watch if you like behind-the-scenes, how VFX is done. Amazing.
I just finished watching Life In A Day on YouTube.
A user-generated feature film capturing life around the world in one day. Over 4,500 hours of video and 80,000 clips compressed into 90 minutes. Produced by Ridley Scott and directed by Kevin Macdonald.
It’s a perfect film. Go watch it now.
*Note: I didn’t realize it was a one-time stream. They’ll be releasing info on where it will be shown later in 2011. Stay tuned.
