Jumpcut.com, and my interview with OpenBusiness
Jumpcut.com is a website that we considered partnering with at the beginning stages of our Stray Cinema planning. Ya know, back in the day. It is a film remixing website that allows its online community to remix other peoples video clips, and provides users with easy to use online editing software, making editing accessible to all.
We were thinking about hosting our footage on the site, and then letting people use the Jumpcut editing tools to remix our footage. The only problem was that the type of file it output was a flash file, which would have made it hard when our finalists had to edit a high quality version of their film for our screening, so we decided against it.
Just found out yesterday (thanks Dan) that Jumpcut has been sold to Yahoo. Anyways, I liked the little snippet that Jumpcut put on their blog
“We have worked hard to pioneer great online video editing technology that can truly enhance the online video world by enabling anyone to become a creator. Joining forces with Yahoo! Video will provide the resources to bring Jumpcut users and our partners more great social media experiences. As part of Yahoo! we’ll be working on bringing video editing and remixing to everyone with an Internet connection.
Jumpcut is the next step in the evolution of social media from simply sharing and commenting on video to remixing, interacting with and creating a social dialogue around media resulting in new forms of cultural and artistic expression. We’re excited about this development and look forward to more innovation in the online video space. Most importantly we’d like to thank the Jumpcut community for your support, enthusiasm and creativity that inspires us and guides our vision.”
Um, in other news, I did an interview with UK website OpenBusiness.cc, and it was published today. Have a look and let me know what you think.
