Video and the Open Web
[VATOW] Tubeyloops update
by Greg on Apr.02, 2011, under ITP, Video and the Open Web
I was fortunate to be one of the projects included at the ButterCamp event, surprisingly so, because I attended thinking I was going to be a spectator/helper, and instead I was lucky enough to be paired with a talented programmer from Boston’s Bocoup. Rick Waldron ( one of the minds behind popcorn.js’ ability to be accessible even for a major novice like me) was not only enthusiastic about the idea, but also has continued all week to keep our momentum going. Working with him has been very enjoyable.
[VATOW] buttercamp 2011
by Greg on Apr.02, 2011, under ITP, Video and the Open Web
It has been a week since buttercamp 2011 at ITP and my mind is still trying to wrap around its impact. Buttercamp was an attempt by the makers and advocates of the javascript library popcorn.js to teach individuals its vast possibilities, primarily in expanding the toolkit available to filmmakers and to get feedback on the popcorn utility ButterAp. Not just satisfied with a stale day of classroom tutorials, filmmakers were partnered with world-class programmers/hackers/developers. From these collaborations came 6 dynamic and interesting starts to impressive projects.
[vatow] Project proposal
by Greg on Feb.24, 2011, under ITP, Video and the Open Web
I have been working with video and animation at my job and on my own for the past four years, so it came as a surprise how difficult it was to come up with a project for Video and the Open Web. It stems from how limited my understanding of what video is; something that someone exports into a “final” product and is transportable but not mutable. In the past, I felt that programs like Nuke and After Effects were the keys to unleashing media and playing with their content. Online communities like YouTube came one step closer to what the web does so well: improvisation and sharing. However, both seemed similar to other forms of media creation, where the last exported file tends to be the last stop of the media and bringing new life to it is available to the few who have the expensive tools and the knowledge.

Science, media, art, movies, politics, and what else I find interesting tweeting and reading on the internet. And ITP.
