Here's an interesting site you may want to check out:

[Info. from Kim Kommando June 2006]

Mix your own videos

In recent months, video sites have taken off. There are countless sites where you can watch people doing strange or mundane things.

My standards are probably higher than the average Web surfer. Don't get me wrong – I love watching videos. But I like videos that are creative or spectacular.

That's why I chose Jumpcut as today's Cool Site. I don't know that the videos posted on the site are cooler than those on other sites. But it lets you create your own videos.

You can upload movie clips, photos and music. Then edit (or mix) them directly on the site! Don't have any great clips? You can "borrow" from other users.

You can share your videos with the world or just with friends and family. You need the free Flash Player to use Jumpcut. I had a lot of fun playing with Jumpcut. I'm sure you will, too.

and may need some help in various ways. HIs contact info is on that page.


If you go to
http://www.archive.org/details/opensource_movies

and search "ninjas" and "film co-op" you'll find some of the raw footage we've shot.

My computer crashed hard and it's going to take a while to get it to accept video again, so there's nothing from the last shoot from me. If anyone's edited anything together please bring it so we can show it.


Any other film/video projects by anyone is welcome to show them as long as 20 minutes or less.

Call for entries for the Rocket City Film
Festival here:
