CROSSOVER CHANNEL 4

Date: 09 June 2008 to 20 November 2008
Venue: BUXTED PARK HOTEL, BUXTED, SKIPTON, EAST SUSSEX

Channel 4 commissioned Crossover to produce two labs specifically adapted to provide TV commissioning editors with the knowledge, skills and enthusiasm to develop and commission cross-platform projects. The events were designed to:

  • raise the awareness and understanding of C4's commissioning editors and executives of the creative and commercial potential of interactive, cross-platform media;
  • incubate original and innovative ideas for projects which fulfil Channel 4's creative, commercial and public service objectives across a range of genres including Comedy, Docs, Specialist Factual, Music, Games and Education;
  • build a network and production capability to supply the Channel with groundbreaking, challenging and effective new media products.

The labs were held over 4 days at Buxted Park Hotel in Sussex. They featured a specially commissioned participatory game which involved live action, online components and video footage which explored forms of interactive storytelling.

Commissioning the Future

Commissioning The Future is the new European training initiative for commissioning editors and funders, developed by Crossover (UK) in partnership with Documentary Campus (Germany) and Sheffield Doc/Fest (UK).

We strongly believe that it is vital to train the decision-makers in order for the convergent marketplace to really thrive. Therefore we have developed this new European training course offering three five-day long creative and commercial innovation labs, focused on commissioning for the emerging convergent digital media ecology.
