<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>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</FONT></DIV></DIV>

Indeed, I was thinking of the FET open call as well. I'm not familiar<BR>>
with the Marie Curie Research Training Networks. Why do you think it<BR>>
fits our situation? I thought our current idea is more like a<BR>>
design-oriented research?<BR>><BR>> But anyhow, if we can do our best
brainstorming and writing over the<BR>> folloing 3 weeks, something promising
might come out;-)<BR>><BR>> /yuwei<BR>> --<BR>> Yuwei Lin | yuwei at
