Skype with Jason Scott

Today we had a Skype session with Jason Scott who we also took a look at some of his work prior to class and read about his documentaries and also his dealings with text files. I found it interesting to hear him talk about his beginning with it and also where he is going with it. He had an idea both with the text files and he was able to build on that idea and provide to an audience through something that he loves and enjoys. With his documentaries he has certainly gained a pretty large following (at least in my opinion). He has had fans donate to him to help reach certain financial goals to be able to continue to produce a product for the fans and clearly they like it because now he is almost to his $100,000 mark for the kickstart campaign. It shows that if you put out a quality product and have the fan support but also show loyalty to your fans and reward them then your following can grow. He seems to be a successful man and just wants to put out good quality work. I can respect that and I enjoyed hearing his story today.
