About the magpie project

We are developing a pilot for an online wepisode series and we need YOUR help!

The concept is fictional and plays on the paranoia of privacy through the internet.

What we need from you is webcam footage (this can be as creative as you like, but please film it as if you are not aware the camera is on you because the idea is that you are being spied on). You can use a normal camera / iphone / webcam to record the footage.

If you would like to participate please read the concept behind the drama below....

With the prevalence of computer hardware in all homes, mobile internet access in all cafes, bars and streets it is possible to observe peoples actions whilst online and the actions of the persons in the surrounding areas through the cameras on all devices. In this way we are capable of witnessing and recording all online actions as well as the actions carried out in the environs of the device. It is then possible to study the differences between people’s online personas and their real life.

We have installed software on all people’s computers who are Online. This little piece of code has enabled us to research people’s actions for the betterment of society. The research work has been ongoing over a couple of years and will continue.

Examples of what has been observed will interest you and make you more aware of the possibilities this research has to offer. We have now the capabilities for constant awareness of people’s actions, thoughts, dreams, ideas and deceptions. We can get to formulate a more robust understanding of the human psyche.

Visually what the audience will see is a wall of screens with something random going on in each. We are scripting a certain amount of stories which will be acted out. These stories will interconnect at a certain stage, similar to films like Magnolia. We also need some random screens and that's where YOU come in.

Please help by uploading your footage to the group.

Launch of the teaser / trailer will be online soon.. please get your footage in fast if you would like to be involved!

Many thanks for your help!
