Two ideas have converged. Elias Bizannes wrote about the Value Chain for Information which I have been thinking about, then I saw Sacha Chua’s Web2.0 @ Work which was done with a Nintendo DS and got really excited about wanting to make something similar. The main difference is I wanted to try make mine as an actual movie, rather than a series of slides.
I give you the Value Chain for Information - The Movie!
This is my first attempt at using a Nintendo DS to create a presentation and I’ve learnt a few things on the way. I’d do it differently next time (For example, the each stroke ends up as one frame so I’d use more strokes! On the Nintendo there are lovely sweeping wipes of each screen, but you don’t see these as they are a single frame in the movie), I’d also probably use some more colours! But I’m content enough for a first attempt. Sacha has a great guide here that tells you how to do it, I also used Wired’s more detailed Wiki as well.
I hope you enjoy it and that it adds some value along the way to Elias idea which is growing on me as I consider it further.

[...] 1 June 2008: Tim Bull made a video of this posting, which does a better job explaining the concepts presented [...]

Sweet. Nice work all. Love it.
But….
Where is this in the value chain?
Is this a teaser?
Education?
What’s next?
I’ll tweet it, but surely there is more.
Maybe there is something opposite of Crowd Sourcing? Not opposite, but before. Crowd Feeding?
Yeah, crowd feeding.

This is so what turns me on by aggregation. Friendfeed is breeding so many ideas, conversations and brilliant work. I found this because the people I follow were talking about it, I would not have been able to pinpoint my exact desire to have seen it by just browsing randomly.

@Mick — Good questions! I think it’s a teaser. I wanted to try a concept out on something that I thought was worthy of the attention. But there’s more to come on this without doubt.
@Allison — What’s also telling is that this is all so quick! I posted this at 3.50pm and you’re comment is there at 4.20. If anyone wanted to understand where Twitter fits into this, it’s a major value adding service in the chain, an effective distribution mechanism for information of interest across a community.

Ooh, good stuff! What are you using to insert pauses in the video?
June 7th, 2008 at 1:34 am
I cheated on the pauses in this version — I used Windows Movie Maker and just took a snapshot of the frame I wanted, then re-inserted it as a graphic that is on the screen for the length of time I like.
Next time, I’ll do a couple of things differently. One is I’ll use more strokes, particularly for wipes etc. which will give me more frames, the second thing is that next time I’ll slow the frame rate down in the movie. All of this should make it look a lot smoother.
