[esocialaction] open movie project - and mini-media?

[Thompson, Steve]

David et All,
 
I'm very keen on alternative means of video that don't take masses of memory, ages to edit and cost the earth. I often shoot short videos with my £150 digital stills camera. Webcams are cool capture devices too. We've developed a media archive here for people to attach media files to blogs or just exhibit them. I've also been messing with Real Media. I know it's a depreciated file format but I keep coming back to it. It's interesting how you can script the order media clips play in so thereby it must be possible to create a running order of shorts scenes on the fly

As well as yuwei's 'big picture' ideas I'm fascinated to learn more 
about Ann's mini-movies.

I think there's great scope in 'mini-media' generally, based on the 
day-to-day or hobby tools that people are using.

As well as a bigger, funded project, how about something low-key and 
practical that helps people use what they have to hand? There are 
quite a few free hosting facilities for video blogging. Is there 
scope for a mini-media group here?
