New Media

Today I've been thinking a lot about new media. That is to say the way that TV, Radio, Music, or for that matter any type of traditional medi will be delivered in the future.

There are already many fantastic web series that are just as, if not more, creative as TV series. We have the BBC iPlayer, SkyPlayer and loads of other on-demand services. The question for me is whether traditional media will survive or whether we will see more of an emphasis on so called new media.

I think that, for now at least, no-one really knows what will come of new media or what will happen to traditional media.

So why have I been thinking about this? Well I have been working with a few other writers, on a new web series. We are looking at launching the new series very soon and have already taken a look at creating 10 webisode. Whilst, for me this is all rather new, I do find it incredibly interesting that our web series is actually going to become a reality.

At this point I'm not going to give away any details, but I will say that we have our 'cast' lined up and we are hoping to film the first webisode sometime within the next fortnight. Each webisode will hopefully run at around 6-9 minutes.
