ReelTime / Reel Intelligence

Reel Intelligence.
Created by Barry.

Barry Henthorn is the creator and architect of RI, ReelTime’s platform for creation, research and supported connected work. RI is the culmination of his technological career and his most ambitious undertaking to date: helping people turn an idea or objective into something useful.

What is RI?

One idea.
Many ways forward.

Reel Intelligence brings creative and practical workflows into one platform. It is built for creators shaping a story, entrepreneurs developing a campaign, and teams investigating a question or planning their next step.

You describe what you want to accomplish. RI helps develop the material, explore the question or organize the work. You review the result and decide what comes next.

Create / A campaign

Build the creative direction.

Start with an audience and an idea. Develop campaign copy, visual concepts, images, music or voice that you can review and refine.

Research / A decision

Make the question useful.

Explore a topic, compare approaches and turn the findings into a brief, an explanation or a practical plan.

Connect / Your work

Bring the pieces together.

Work with supported connected files and services. Agent RI extends supported tasks to account-linked computers, with permission and approval controls.

These are example uses, not customer results. Available workflows depend on your account, connected services and enabled capabilities.

The creator’s perspective

Make capability
useful to people.

Barry’s career has repeatedly explored how emerging technology can become a practical product. Telecommunications addressed how people communicate. Distributed video addressed how audiences receive media. Immersive imaging explored how people experience a surrounding scene.

RI is the current chapter in that work: bringing intelligence into creative production, research and the tools people use. Barry created and architects the platform, working with the ReelTime team to develop that direction into useful workflows.

The project’s public record identifies him as its creator, sometimes using the phrase “Father of RI.” His role connects technical authorship with product direction and the commercial work of bringing a platform to people.
