“Video” has done something very few objects have done to the English language: mutating the word “viral” from adjective to noun. Overnight.
Viral is the very description of the “video” phenomenon it has engendered. It’s brought Hollywood to its knees. It’s made art out of security tapes.
Speakers:
Dan Smith (VP Digital Content, Playboy Media), Thom Andersen (Filmmaker, Get Out of the Car), Keith Schofield (Commercial and Music Videomaker), Carlton Evans (Director/Founder, Disposable Film Festival), Ted Schilowitz (co-founder, RED Digital Cinema)
