2016 Presentation: Expanding Documentary Storytelling
The documentary genre is evolving rapidly, and we’ve gathered four diverse experts to provide a sense of what is possible today. Ian Durkin is the curator for Staff Picks at Vimeo and will discuss how online exhibition for documentaries is changing. Mark Shapiro from LAIKA — the animation studio behind the three Oscar nominated features Coraline, Paranorman and The Boxtrolls — will share how to use animation in documentaries successfully. Niles Lichtenstein, who founded the digital storytelling platform History Project, will talk about how to give a project new life online after it’s released. Rob Campbell, executive producer of sports and outdoor with GoPro, will provide insight on how POV cameras are changing filmmaking.
