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, and people like, I think it was Aasmund Garfors in Bergen, and  
also Jon Hoem (also Bergen) were playing with.

It is not that hard, it is the move from video as 'filmmaking' (lot of  
edits, relative high ratio of takes to kept footage, etc) or video as  
'careful' (due to legacy of cost, access, technology barriers, etc) to  
video as homemovie or as snapshot. We shoot heaps, just like with a  
camera we photograph heaps. flickr provided a way for us to easily  
archive, publish, share, tag, and collectively harness/use our  
snapshots. but at the moment in video the smallest 'unit' remains the  
entire show or program or clip, rather than the parts.

(On the other hand while we're all hung up on being storytellers it  
also means we're hung up on keeping our parts tightly joined otherwise  
our story might be broken. There is a tension there between the sorts  
of things that might come from 'clouds' of clips versus the usual  
corridor of shot A will always be followed by B.)
