Public Roadmap

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.

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.

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