Remix Fiction Television Evolves

Remix Fiction is always striving to learn and adapt to meet the expectations of their small (but growing) fan base.  We recently took a hard look at our video programing and recognized that we weren’t achieving the reach that we’d originally hoped.  Based on feedback from fans who watch the show regularly we knew that we wanted to stick with interviewing amazing people in the transmedia storytelling industry,but we needed to ditch the hour-long format.  We’re hoping that our relatively low viewership (based on video views on our Vimeo channel) is tied more to the length of the show versus the content.  In general,we think that most people are not willing to sacrifice an hour of their time on an untested show.  So,in order to boost our viewership numbers we’re going to make a few changes.

For those of you who are willing to sit through an hour-long show we’re still going to broadcast the recording of the episodes live.  Those of you who make the effort to tune in while we’re recording will get a behind the scenes look at the making of the episodes along with some “bonus content”and bloopers that won’t make it to the videos.  We’re still going to spend about an hour with each guest,but we’re going to break the videos down into more digestible ten to fifteen minute chunks and release them as a series.  We’ve also got some ideas for producing some short,non-interview,segments related to the behind the scenes work we’re doing on our own Alternate Reality Game.  We would LOVE to hear your suggestions for these new segments so please let us know your ideas in the comments.

We appreciate Brian Clark’s patience with our first attempt at producing shorter interview shows.  Brian is the CEO of GMD Studios;an experimental media lab focused on the emergence of networked communities,audiences and marketplaces.  Brian put up with us for almost two hours while we recorded several episodes of Remix Fiction Television that spanned a wide range of topics relating to his company’s vision and practices.  Our first short-format episode with Brian is available now on our Vimeo channel.
