At last, a blog for Coalition of The Willing! I thought it was time to create a central place where everyone's work in progress can be shown. Thanks to all the collaborators for allowing me to show their developing work. This blog is mainly for the purpose of connecting the collaborators, showing work as it progresses and announcing any developments. The blog isn't meant to be the public face of the film. The film's website is currently being developed. So finally, just to say that Coalition Of The Willing is already shaping up into a wonderfully rich and diverse piece of work, an enormous thank you to everyone involved.

What's it all about?

Simon and I recently knocked together a one-paragraph precis for the film for promotional purposes. Thought I'd pass it round as a way of reminding everyone what it is we're all contributing to.

'Coalition of the Willing' proposes a new strategy for the war on global warming. This animated film explores how we could use new internet technologies to leverage the powers of activists, experts, and ordinary citizens in collaborative ventures addressing climate-related problems. The film outlines a model of a web 2.0 network consisting of three sites, each targeting a different audience (activists, experts, and ordinary citizens). Through simple analyses of open source culture, swarm activity, and social revolution, 'Coalition of the Willing' makes a compelling case for the effectiveness of this network. It offers a response to a major problem of our time: how to galvanize and enlist global publics in the fight against global warming.
