The Day The Daily Show Changed
TDTUC obvioulsy doesn't interest that many people (cept for fellow fan Jwray), but the project was huge and each episode took about 4 hours+ to craft, it was a mighty task and well worth the reward of a job well done from Mr Burke himself, no less. Again all done in my spare time, fueled by a passion for research and archiving.
But more its just always followed my online video philosophy; when you share something, breath something new into it.
That Documentary series has evolved thanks to the Internet. Thanks to whomever uploaded it to YouTube the clips have been available to the world for year now, thanks to me each episode is now transcribed with links to every topic mentioned in the series, and thanks to mahalo eventually every topic will be full of the best information on each topic available on the web. Therefor....in 2008 any newb watching James Burke for the first time will have a more full experience then those who watched back those who watched back in 1985.
It was a primer, for my latest project, using the exact same format as done with TDTUC, I have started to do the same work for The Daily Show. Here is the March 6 2003 Episode displayed on Mahalo. Time considering, I hope to build more of these pages.
Please, let me know what you think of this. Do you think watching info television in this manner enhances your viewing experience? The episode is clipped up into parts, beneath are internal links to each subject brought up in the clip, the episode is summed up by citing the news references with external links. And of course embeds...wonderful wonderful embeds.
