Mix & Mash anyone?

Openbusiness.cc emailed me today, about a new film mash up competition they are supporting called Mix & Mash:

“Remixing digital content is the basis for this competition. Digital
pictures, sound or films licensed through Creative Commons and Public
Domain material need to be used. Entrants can use their creativity to
remix the work of others with their own. The result will be a collage
of original and re-used material.

Submissions
Submissions can be made under the theme: Britannia Rules / Britannia
Sucks
– No work should be longer than three minutes.”

And so I though, what’s to stop our Stray Cinema participants from entering their film submissions into this competition also? The four best entries will be awarded professional film editing software and hardware, be included in a special Optronica screening at the National Film Theatre on the 16th of March and be featured on Google Video UK.

I am going to email them now and see if we can be listed on their Video Resources page.

Dan our web developer has also just directed me to an article on Techcrunch about cuts.com. This website is similar to Jumpcut.com, providing people the tools to edit films online. What makes it different is the ease in which people can use and remix films from youtube and myspace on this website.

MOD films

Just a quick one. You may already know this - but I believe that the future of film will include a heavy fusion with game, and open up audience interaction within the process of creating the film. er, but I haven't got much further than that with my prediction...

In light of this, there is an interesting piece on Openbusiness.cc about MOD Films. This is more about the re-creation of film and media content, done in quite an interesting way.

"MOD Films is developing content and subscription services to support interactive story applications. We're a bit like an MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online Game) studio - part content, part software design but working in a largely undefined space between the film and game industry to create sustainable "Film Worlds.”

Away From the Train

By michelle, 5 years ago - No Comments

Away From the Train is our latest film submission from anaesthesiaassociates. They have sampled the click sound from the heel of the lead actress's shoe in the song they have written especially for the film. They have then cued up this sound effect to play in time with the visual, which makes for an interesting, and in my opinion very good, result. What do you think? vote, vote vote :)
