= Public Roadmap  =

== 18 months == 
Web Made Movies is a strong brand recognized as an innovator at the intersection of film and the web - proof that openness can win in film

* It is a vibrant, bustling studio - picture a movie set of the 1930s, where instead of props and a camera department, you have independent filmmakers, CSS hackers, cross-media scriptwriters, Javascript wizards, PHP developers and graphic designers all collaborating on cutting edge productions.  The software and content people are working as a team, rather than service relationships.  <br>

* At least 5 high profile productions have engaged with the lab to produce world-class experiences that showcase the potential of open video.  These productions innovate not only technology, but how storytelling and narrative can evolve when woven into the web.  They showcase what the open web  can deliver as a platform that flash never will. <br>

* A collection of technologies including pocorn.js that begin to catch fire in the wild, driving innovation in unexpected directions <br>

* Buzz. Web Made Movies productions begin to appear at film festivals and interactive events such as Sundance, TIFF, IDFA and SXSW.  People reference Web Made Movies open video productions rather than current flash-based multimedia<br>

== End of 2010 ==
'''We've laid the runway for the project, and are beginning to invite the world'''

* 6 Engaging working demos '''prove''' the advantage of open video
* Filmmakers are eager to join the lab, bringing productions in all stages: development, production and distribution, to work with the lab
* Web Made Movies has talent cued up to absorb these people and leverage their content<br> 
* Popcorn.js is at 1.0, driving forward via daily work from students and Seneca College
* To engage audiences, strong content is being produced natively by the lab to kickstart the process - a series of videos about the open web evokes our philosophy and helps our fellow travelers.
