Collaborative Filmmaking Flowchart
I've completed a first draft of my first video blogging entry, and I realized that I needed a graphic to talk through just exactly how I plan on doing Collaborative Filmmaking by using Drupal and Final Cut Pro XML.
Here is the graphic that describes my vision of the Phase 01 infrastructure needed to collect folksonomy and quantitative metadata from volunteers on the soundbites:
It's a bit difficult to convey everything in a soundbite or two, and so my second videoblogging entry may go into more details about it.
But for now, I'll just post this graphic online in a few places, and provide a brief overview and hook in my first vlog entry.
It might take money - I dont think Drupal...

Im not a naysayer, but as far as content management is concerned, there are better choices for hosting collaborative authoring and distributed editing than Drupal - and Im not a tech snob, but php, though well proven for low load apps, is a poor choice for scalability and universal data access (that's the true key to really making a net video app network quality).

distributed media

Couldn't find an email for you kent, so I'm posting this as a comment.
have you seen this story on GNN about Gore's Current TV Network?
http://www.gnn.tv/articles/1575/The_Birth_of_a_Network
Particularly the last four or five paragraphs.
I think that we may be past the point for a central network to get info out, or that it can become possible secondary to distributed work on the net. Maybe not yet. Maybe we're close.
Just wanted to again express my gratitude for your hard work on this project.
In the neart future, if I get any time, I'd like to be a part of it all in some way.

Decentralization is key

Hey Chris,
Thanks for the link.
Yeah, I think we're past the point of having to raise $25 million dollars to get a network on television -- the amount that this other proposed start-up Independent World Television is trying to raise.
I do think video on the net has a lot more promise than adding another channel to the saturated television -- the interactive nature of it is what I think will be key at some point.
Online video with a permanent URL also fits the post-filter model better where recommendations come from word-of-mouth, and not the pre-filter model of a single TV spot where you're on and off.
The IWT is proposing that they'll have a web component, but it doesn't sound like they'll be permanently streaming content online. We'll see. Just watched their trailer here. Maybe they'll get 500,000 people to donate $50.
New Local Voices Project and Collaborative Media
I am fascinated by what you are doing with Drupal and collaborative media. )I spoke with you briefly in the breakout session of Beyond Media 2006 last Saturday. I had to leave early. )
I am one of two Web site planners for a new national "Local Voices" immigrant and community media grant program which we hope will be funded and announced in November 2006. As part of our project we want to produce a collaborative media piece with our grantees on the current immigrant experience in America. We plan to do this right away--as soon as the grantees are selected. So we will be using some of your instructional material and your work to help us do that. Let's keep in touch!
Our current project is Sound Partners for Community Health and will be wrapping up this month.
