A Cronkite School professor posted some thoughts about MediaStorm founder Brian Storm on his blog today, after spending a few hours with him yesterday. (Storm is currently a visiting professor at Cronkite.)
The most interesting bits, to me:
– Storm created MediaStorm because he was “frustrated with corporate journalism” and wanted to create “cinematic narratives.”
– Quote: “He’s looking for ‘universal stories.’ He says those are not perishable. They’ll hold up over time and they are about big ideas like love, death and struggle. He called one story ‘your typical don’t judge a book by its cover story.'”
– Apparently Storm subscribes to the idea of “shoot everything and we’ll figure it out in post-production.”
