Harrison Ford on seesmic
I am going to take a guess and say that Loic has had an great idea to demonstrate the effectiveness of new media and video for conversation and buzz generation using seesmic. Great idea, wait till you see it in action.
Case 1: The up and coming new Indiana Jones Movie “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull“. The movie is due for release here in Australia on the 22nd of May (IMDB). But just how he snagged Harrison Ford to interview for seesmic I don’t know! There is nothing on seesmic accept the videos, nothing on Loic’s Blog so I guees we will find out in due course.
So Harrison Ford has his own username on seesmic and there are a couple of videos up there of an interview with him. Looks like the interview has been broken up into questions with each one making a new video post. Harrison seems relaxed and quite candid, which you might expect – he is a bit of a veteran at this stuff.
So far there is one video on his Fave Indiana Movie:
Plus one on the stunts, which I think is a great response:
I am guessing that these are going to be filtered out over the next week in the lead up to release. What a fantastic idea. I love the fact that Harrison has appeared for seesmic and it “feels” a lot more personal and laid back. As opposed to some stuffy mainstream media interview. Bloody fantastic, I think Loic really does understand this space and the users that are a part of it.
But as jjprojects states; to really pull this one off it would br great if we could ask the questions! So how about it Loic? Seesmic is about the conversation right? So how about letting the users in on that conversation. How cool would it be to have Harrison Ford responding to users of seesmic? Damn, now that would be cool.
Who would you like to ask questions of on seesmic?
Update: Maybe Cate Blanchett? That means this is the run of the mill mass interview by the media of stars. Still I don’t retract my statement that I think it is a great idea, but lets take it to the next level.

Hiya,
The questions we asked of the filmmakers were based on conversations we’ve been having on Seesmic over the past week or so.
We only had them for less than 10 minutes each. Though we would have preferred if the Seesmic community could have asked them questions directly, there just wasn’t the time for a proper Q&A.
We did, however, get a question to Cate Blanchett asked by a Seesmic user’s young daughters as the interviews were happening. That, I think, popped up on Twitter. It wasn’t possible to watch all of the videos on Seesmic during the interviews… so we did the best we could!
