Welcome back everyone, we are coming to some non-descript half way point, and that means it's time to get serious, and how are we going to implement some seriousness into this discussion?

That's right, a questionnaire.

Many of the questions don't require that you've viewed any part of this presentation, so please if you can take a few minutes, I will be greatly appreciative of your answers. Feel free to e-mail me, post them in this thread, or print out a copy and fill it out in crayon and mail it to me. I'll cover your postage. Ask a total stranger to fill one out. Much will be repetative for most of you, but the wording was formulated towards those who are seeing this thing for the first time.

A Message from a Maker of Films.

After each of my previous feature presentations, in interviews i've mentioned my desire to return to my roots and continue the experimental direction of my film school education.

The abstract presentation you now hold is one of these projects brought about through a collaborative effort by my Learning Division, several internet companies, media producers and other willing participants in the expansion of human exploration through learning.

Lucas Learning has in the past focused on the promotion of K-12 educational development. This project is the beginning of the Adult Education and Research Expansion Pack*. The enclosed material is a first look at the end product of a possible interactive video experience which mines the depths of societies media output. Taking that detritus and searching / cutting up / recompiling that material to seek out themes and memes of society. This version caters towards the Star Wars phenomenon, but hopefully any topic can get the same treatment, just as simply as using a textual search engine.

Thank you for participating. May the Search Be With You.

Also at this time, i'd be appreciative if you could fill out the below questionaire which is the beginning of an investigation into creating a dedicated TV channel to showcase Star Wars and other Lucasfilm Licensed Material.
