Who Knew? - 20x2 Video (Twitter + Flickr)
This was my video presentation for 20x2, a format where 20 people are called to answer a question in 2 minutes or less. This event has been a regular part of SXSW, but last week was the first time they came out to Chicago. I was lucky enough to be one of the participants.
For my video, I searched Twitter for the phrase "who knew." My rules were: no replies, no RT's, no links. Just plain text. From there, I looked for a corresponding image on Flickr. My rules were: I could only search for words used within the Tweet, and each photo had to be a CC licensed image.
I did a lot of manual searching, and spent a few weeks just compiling interesting tweets and photographs. I ended up with maybe three times the number of examples than I had time to show... but the ones I like most got included. I hope you like what I found.
PS: The song in the video is PercusienFa, a song by the incredibly talented Erik Mongrain, who was kind enough to grant me permission to use it for the piece.
