Beautiful stories are being told as the recent DSLR wave of filmmaking has taken viewers and filmmakers by storm!

C3Stories was no exception when the Canon 7D was used in the production of All Gifted: The Meet and Greet, then again with Pete Chatmon of Double 7 Film to do the post production of The Bridge: Velvet Rope: Girls’ Night Out, shot exclusively on the Canon 7D by Leyla Tatiana Rosario.

WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE CONCEPT OF “THE BRIDGE”. THIS VIDEO WAS SHOT DURING THE MAKING OF THE PILOT WEBISODE.

If you are reading this, then you’ve received all of the materials related to THE BRIDGE, a 1 Hour Cable Television Series + Interactive Media Platform. One of the most exciting aspects of this concept is the marriage between traditional viewing habits (cable TV) and emerging platforms (the web). We’ve found a unique way to marry the two while allowing the content to stand alone on each channel. It’s about delivering an unprecedented amount of depth into the world of this series, its characters, and connecting to as many demographics as possible in an organic, entertaining way.

WATCH THE PILOT WEBISODE BELOW. THESE 3 LADIES WORK THEIR WAY INTO THE FIRST EPISODE OF THE CABLE SERIES IN A VERY INTERESTING WAY. READ THE PILOT TELEPLAY YOU’VE RECEIVED TO FIND OUT!
