Easily my favorite Reuters TV video to date.
I got a chance to talk to two amazing filmmakers, Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me, The Greatest Movie Ever Sold, 30 Days) and Richard Linklater (Waking Life, A Scanner Darkly, Dazed and Confused) about how they’re making films and television shows in a digital age.
“We have a much bigger stake in ownership with these kind of programs,” Morgan told me. Digital distribution is giving the creators a bigger stake in their own work.
This was one of my favorite Reuters TV Tech Tonic videos to do so far.
I got a chance to go down to Major League Gaming for their Winter Arena tournament. I met Grubby, who happens to be here on Tumblr as well and is a major player in the scene. He gave me a lesson in Starcraft and told me a bit about what it’s like to play video games professionally. Check it out and let me know what you think.

If you were to stop independent journalist Tim Pool on the street, you may think he’s just a bike messenger, with his skull cap, hoodie and shoulder strap bag.
What you may miss is that Pool has transformed himself into a mobile journalist. He broadcast live videos in the midst of the Occupy movement using just an iPhone, a solar powered backpack and even a drone to an audience of thousands. [Report: Anthony De Rosa]
