The Stray Cinema Project
Found a great website on the net where an online community decided to put up the raw footage of a film they shot in London. They are giving us all a chance to be seen by using their already shot film to make your own story, be seen, ranked and possibly seen on the big screen.
They also have a section where you can support by donating your own film or music projects to use for future projects in the whole community. Think of it as an open-source film. I checked out the footage and it seemed to be all about a woman riding subways, going to work, playing her guitar and writing songs. I figured I could come up with something pretty good.
I contacted the site members and put my music in for future projects. I also starting doing some motion graphic logo work and decided to paste together a short film. It started sounding like it could even pass as a commercial for the company so I made it that way. Finally got my wife to work on a project with me, she did the narration and did a great job at it.
Go check out the website if you are at all interested in editing films. This is a great start and reminded me of some stuff I did when I went to film school. Edit your film, upload it to YouTube and then submit it to the site so people can start rating it!!!!
