Livestreaming the Revolution | Chris Roberson | TEDxNYU

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Chris Chan Roberson has been teaching at NYU since the Fall of 1999 in the Undergraduate Film and Television Department. In this talk, Roberson shows us that with all of the technology available at our fingertips to film high definition images and amazing special effects with our home computer, the next evolution in storytelling will be, quite simply, telling the personal story.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
