D/B Video Feature: Coalition of the Willing

Posted on | July 1, 2010 | No Comments

24 filmakers from around the world come together to create “Coalition of the Willing” an awesome animated film about the online war against global warming in a “post Copenhagen” world.

‘Coalition of The Willing’ is a film that discusses how we can use new internet technologies to leverage the powers of activists, experts, and ordinary citizens in collaborative ventures to combat climate change.

Through analyses of swarm activity and social revolution, ‘Coalition of the Willing’ makes a compelling case for the new online activism and explains how to bring the fight against global warming to the people.

As the film tackles the subject of online activism, we decided that the logical home for ‘Coalition of The Willing’ is here online. Between the start of February and the beginning of June 2010, Coalition of the willing was released in sections onto  this website. Groups of sections were released roughly every 2-3 weeks, with the final completed film going online at the start of June.

This un-conventional release strategy allowed us to build and engage with an audience whilst the film itself was being made. “coalitionfilm” has now become an online environmental brand in itself, with contributors Tweeting and Facebooking every day about issues discussed in the film; environmentalism, open source culture and swarm politics.
