Hey Neville,
Listened with interest to your comments – you’re quite right regarding the authenticity of the commentaries, and the need for us to find new ways to put the film-makers at ease, and to achieve genuine conversation.
As you know as well as anybody, it’s far easier said than done when you’re operating within the midst of a movie junket, but we’ll be working on it. Glad you felt that it was worthwhile overall.
What will be interesting if we do this again will be using Twitter as a back channel for questions and Seesmic as the medium for broadcasting the responses – there’s simply too much latency in Seesmic to be able to drive conversation from a ten minute slot at a junket.
As far as the talent feeling comfortable goes, maybe that will come as we get to do more of these events, and start to see some familiar faces!
all the best!
Dan
