Twice a month, the Videoblogging group does a screening at the Anthology Films Archives in downtown Manhattan. Its usually about 50 minutes of choices videoblogs chosen by a guest curator.
Last week, Lynn Lane did a great job introducing new people to what’s happening online with video.
When you watch this, you realize that many of these videos were just created recently…and being created all the time. The largest, distributed network of videomakers is now being assembled online.
These are people who realize that blogs and RSS is a great way to present, archive, and distribute their work, ideas, and lives. All have different reasons, but the same sense of passion about what they’re doing.
Before the last 18 months, anyone could amke a video or film…but what could you do with it?
The fact that distribution channels were blocked off essentially rendered people’s work almost useless. But now the playing field is now even.
It’s happening without anyone’s permission.
Subscribing with tools like FireAnt (a project i’m working on), opens the door.
Jay thanks for the complements. It was a great time and I truly want to thank you guys for giving me an opportunity to be a part of this.
