Hi everyone,

I met Shelley in the "Informal Meeting with CC Artists from the
Philippines - Drip" (http://hk.creativecommons.org/2009/02/27/drip/)
on the Sunday before last.  She is a Visiting Fellow from the School
of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong and keen to promote CC
and Free Culture. Please consider attending the two seminars.

Regards,

Haggen

> The talks relate to what CC is advocating and serve as a knowledge-sharing
> for the audience in the CC-HK community (students/professionals) to draw new
> insights on.  They aim to cover the new model and paradigm shift in content
> production such as UGC and grassroots productions.  It will also try to
> cover the "open source TV and film production" which is an emerging trend in
> the US.  The speaker will use the lecture content to provide rationale /
> cases on how the open production paradigm could be sustained by different
> and new economic, employment and revenue models.

> The role of the audience in television production, distribution, and
> consumption is undergoing a radical transformation.  The audience is
> shifting from being receivers of content to being users of an interactive

> As established avenues for income dwindle in a recession, opportunities for
> innovating new paths multiply.  Entertainment is typically regarded as a
> "recession-proof" industry, but this does not mean that existing firms are
> impervious to economic losses.  This talk will focus, not on how to best
> prepare for jobs in the media industry as it is currently configured, but
> how old industry jobs might be reconfigured, or new ones invented.
