While | While the web has given the world an explosion of innovation, video on the web has been held back . We use language like “embedded” to describe the way we shoe-horn video into a stale, same crummy box with conversions and plugins. Video on the web is unaware of, and uninterested in, all of the other data and information on a page. Its video on the web, not video of the web. | ||
We need to make video a first class citizen of the web, that behaves like the rest of the web: remixable, hackable, linkable, searchable. We need video that integrates Twitter feeds, Google maps, Wikipedia articles. We need a video environment where tomorrow’s filmmakers can “view source”. We need to let video catch up to the rest of the web and deliver on the potential of an interactive medium that celebrates participation over consumption. And the way towards this is to encourage an open practice of filmmaking that is as open, participatory and generative as the rest of the web. That’s why Web Made Movies is focusing on the development of an innovation lab bringing together filmmakers and software developers to explore how openness can have a fundamental impact on our definition of video. | We need to make video a first class citizen of the web, that behaves like the rest of the web: remixable, hackable, linkable, searchable.
