Lights Camera SXSW?
Hey Gang!
The crew from Lights. Camera. Help. was lucky enough to be on a panel for SXSW this year. Here’s a small sample of what we talked about:
Moderator David J Neff, and panelists Aaron Bramley and Rich Vazquez (all from Lights, Camera, Help), joined Ramya Raghavan (Nonprofits and Activism Manager, YouTube) and Beverley Pomeroy (of Pinc Productions Inc and Life on Purpose Network) to discuss the importance of considering target audiences, methodology, and focus when creating video aimed at promoting nonprofit causes. The group agreed that the narrative of a short film is crucial when attempting to develop widespread interest in a cause, and offered some tips and opinions on the nonprofit film world to help get small philanthropic groups started on the web.

Gaming for Change
Have you heard of http://freerice.com/? If you’re not familiar, FreeRice is a game. You answer questions on English vocabulary, world geography, or a host of other options, and for every correct response you give, their advertisers (very unobtrusive) donate 10 grains of rice to the UN World Food Programme.
Doesn’t sound like much, does it? But since it’s launch in 2007, FreeRice has donated 75,185,220,620 grains of rice!
That’s gaming for good – and the fine folks at NTEN have got Suzanne Seggerman, Co-founder of Games for Change, to talk about her experiences and answer your questions about using video games for tackling social issues at our next Ask the Expert Session.
