Internet TV is coming. The home PC and TV will eventually merge and become one. The internet will become a medium for film media transmission.
This is a future where the humble will become empowered to create their own programs.
However, I'm declaring my intention now - that within 5 years time, I want the chronicles network to have it's own internet TV channel.
The difficulties mean that to even attempt this is going to require a multi-step approach, with a focus on low-budget productions to start.
There are costs and complexities involved in making this a reality - internet hardware issues, not to mention the costs of setting up a media company.
However, I firmly believe that there is a way to produce good science fiction and fantasy story-telling on a relatively low budget.
I cannot say I can do this thing - merely that it is my intention to plan for this as best I can, and look at ways to make it a practical reality.
All too often modern media suffers from lack of artistic credibility, with storytelling pitched at the lowest denominator. And where shows dare to be different, rating targets have killed more of them than I can keep up with.
The chronicles network would simply seek to produce interesting stories, that can dare to be different. The challenge is simply seeing what limits we can break.
So I now have 5 years to lay down the ground work for this project.
Just something I've been thinking about a lot recently...
