The Celtx Blog: Introducing Celtx Motion Sketches

A few months ago we teamed up with two very talented Australian media makers, Mike Jones and Greg Dolgopolov of Bad Dad Productions to develop a multi-platform series of ten short videos built around Celtx that explore contemporary approaches to cinematic media production and pre-production development.

In delivering this work-in-progress, we want to achieve the obvious objectives like increase-the-international-user-base; Have it serve as a virally distributed promotion of the Celtx platform, and all that kinda stuff, ... but we also want the project to stand as a relevant body of information and ideas beyond the Celtx software itself, making it applicable and attractive to all areas of media production... From the big screen to the mobile screen, from live-action to the virtual camera - we want these videos to present a range of highly practical perspectives on developing a media project from concept to production - screenplay, design, story, development and delivery.

And...There's no doubt that these are exciting times in this digital age of media making, so most importantly, we want this project to inform and drive debate and creative exploration of new and more forward-thinking approaches to media production.

So here, for your viewing pleasure and thoughtful consideration, we present to you in association with Mike and Greg, the first two episodes of Celtx Motion Sketches - Perspectives on Production.
We invite you to share 'your' perspectives with us.

Enjoy!

Episode One - So This is Cinema?

The art of the moving image is not what it used to be. Writing and making cinematic media is more diverse than ever; from big screen to small, from live action to gaming and machinima. Its time to embrace a way thinking and a software tool that embraces that diversity.
