<br>> Another idea is that there could be more collaborations that allow for differing people with varied skills from the creative idea through to technical skills to get together and develop works. This mode I think is very reflective of working with the web, from software development to producing social software platforms. This way of working can take a bit of trial and error, particularly if you are used to working solo and >having total control.
<br>> But, maybe there is other resistance going on here that I am missing?<br><br>Ive always found that offline video creators to be the most resistant to learning how to put their work online.<br>the reasons given are several:
<br><ul><li>if they post their videos outside the gallery system, what's the point? They are used to a system where they must submit work, be accepted, then have someone else deal with distribution. many film festivals wont accept videos that have been shown online.
<br></li><li>breaking the gallery system also breaks the traditional grant giving model. If I can make a video this afternoon and post it online for the whole world to see, why do I need your money? (of course artists still need financial support, but this is the thinking)
</li><li>my friends who are visual artists also complain that current online video sites make their videos look shitty. the web design looks tacky, the compression is bad, and they feel they lose their copyrights. When I say they can make their own site and host their own videos, they say its too difficult (whoch is true for a newbie)
<br></li></ul>That's why Im glad this group exists. <br>This is also why we're making <a href="http://showinabox.tv">http://showinabox.tv</a>. It needs to be easy for visual creators to make a good looking site, which is also a CMS (like wordpress) to manage their work.
<br><br>Its time for the techies and artists to get together!<br>hope to meet many of you in Amsterdam.<br><br>Jay<br><br>-- <br><a href="http://jaydedman.com">http://jaydedman.com</a><br>917 371 6790<br>Professional: <a href="http://ryanishungry.com">
