			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the course of thinking about making <a href="http://leisurelyhistorian.net/my-digital-storytelling-project-pitch/">a short digital storytelling project about a ukulele website</a>, I've been looking for other examples of short films, documentaries, etc. about websites and other intangible, ephemeral subjects.</p>
<p>The other day, thanks to <a href="http://www.boxee.tv/">boxee</a>, I came across "A Movie About Chatroulette." While it's not exactly in the style I want to do my project, it's a really good example of how one might go about making a film-based project about a website. <a href="http://chatroulette.com/">Chatroulette</a>, unlike <a href="http://ukuleleunderground.com/">UkuleleUnderground</a>, has the advantage of being video-based rather than text-based, but presents with other problems: How do you document something that is ephemeral, by nature always changing, anonymous, shapeless, user-defined in the moment, and always experienced between two people at a time? I think Casey Neistat does a great job of dealing with these issues.</p>
