woah. Now *THAT* is an interesting concept. Your comp tape actually contains the rest of the video, being skipped over unless you select it. I like that a lot. :) I suppose, technically, you could do something similar with YouTube annotations, as far as linking each demo section to the video t

there is also something called stretch film which if it became viable could be relevant here. I only know of one person who actually made something like it (using LiveStage Pro). the idea (comes from stretch hypertext) is that you have, say, a 2 minute version of the work, but at any point

I think it really does require a tiered approach, which would be similar to what you're saying... Small clips, tagged and warehoused, and then making larger programs out of the smaller clips. Not necessarily like a playlist function like YouTube uses, but focusing information into interesting e

I think as Bill describes in his more recent post, imagine you've got heaps of short clips, each more or less about the same thing. Instead of editing them into works, or publishing them as single clips, imagine a cloud of clips, with for instance tags. (Simplest model.) Then you could use

Thanks for the comments, everybody. :) Renat, I shoot "spontaneous" situations as well. When I feel like something cool is going to happen or there's something I feel like people might like to see or hear, I'm liable to turn the camera on and film something. Recently picking up my run-n-gun ca

Jay & Adrian, thanks for the examples of video tagging. Seth Keen's work looks very cool. I always thought mpeg7 would be used for this but haven't heard much about it anymore (& only looked into it years ago for some facial recognition stuff which didn't end up happening). I shoot way too much vid

quoting myself (on strike today so diligently not doing work...) there was a hypercard stack made by an anthropologist/ethnographer years ago that let her add video and then in effect tag it (it was before we had tags) so that observational footage could be restructured in multiple ways. And

Yep, but in some contexts we don't want or need to do this. eg observational doco, ethnography. And we can also think about how on one hand having a constraint like editing in camera etc is highly productive (in Melbourne we have, or had, the white gloves festival which was film, one roll,

hi all Jay and I (he's currently in Melbourne, god bless 'im) were talking about similar stuff yesterday. Seth Keen has a system that partly does this. it is intended for more curatorial sorts of things, but relies on tags to collect clips. I've built similar, now defunct, things ages ago,

Everyone's different about shooting ratios and frequency and what works for them, but I've found quite an opposite situation: when I place an arbitrary limit on my shooting - e.g., ok, you can only shoot ten minutes during the next two days, or for this particular journey into the world, or you hav
