What is Open Video?
As internet video matures, we face a crossroads: will technology and public policy support a more participatory culture—one that encourages and enables free expression and broader cultural engagement? Or will online video become a glorified TV-on-demand service, a central part of a permissions-based culture?
Open Video is a movement to promote free expression and innovation in online video. Join us for three days of inspiring talks, awesome video and film, open hacking sessions, parties, and cutting edge tech from around the world.
I'll be around, listening to discussions. Printed out a few copies to hand out.
Looking at making another trailer. (FanEditForum had similar issues with this project as you all did) Below are two ideas.
TRAILER OPTION 01 - Political - :30 to :40 seconds
------------------------------------------------------
[Scene fades into computer cluster/bar/home.]
[lighting from computer screen only, two characters appear as shadows in front of flickering tubes]
[Speech in chinese, subtitled in chinese with english subs on top of those]
Speaker 1 : "Check this out."
Speaker 2 : "What is that?"
[brief pause as two characters read/watch 'tBSWM' DVD]
Speaker 1 : "Not sure. Latest reject from thee Green Dam Youth Escort."
Speaker 2 : (reading) "...for sale at Tiananmen Square, that's lame, nothing happens there."
Speaker 1 : "Looks like a mash up to me." "heh (mumbling under breath) Star Wars (clear audio) has A Posse."
Speaker 2 : "Nah it's too jarring, must be a bad fan edit."
Speaker 1 : (FFWD'ing) "Sheesh! Look at how long this thing is..."
Speaker 2 : "Could be a documentary, cus it sure ain't entertainment at that length!"
Speaker 1 : "...soooo muuuuucccchhhh Mmmmeeeeddddiiiaaa..."
Speaker 2 : "Wish I could do this for some other topic..."

TRAILER OPTION 02 - Cliche Movie Trailer - :30 to :40 seconds
------------------------------------------------------
[Deep Voiced Announcer Guy like voice]
"In a Media Saturated Environment, the people of an insignificant world dream of finding that one bit of information relevant to their search...
[alt.1 : "...of finding the relevant information to which they search...]
[fade into many clips of people saying Sith]
[use Sith string where each clip is slightly shorter in length]
[as the crescendo builds...]
"...but the Media Sea is as endless as the galaxy is far far away..."
[Clip pulls back into tons of tv clips & tons of voices]
"...this is madness..."
(maybe computer crash / breakdown of graphics / or mimic slowed projector / hard pause with frame flicker)
[My Voice]
"Ok well nothing exists yet to do this, but i've attempted to accomplish this task for the subject of 'Star Wars' in the time period of just around the release of the last movie."
(bring back tons of clips)
"...the search will be up to you, eventually."
