This is very cool; I look forward to playing with these templates.
There's another similar project that's just been launched that I
thought I should share, called snstncntnrs. It provides a pretty
intensely edited XML or EDL file that you can then associate with your
own three videos with pretty interesting results. It's an open source
project that is calling for contributions. It's a fun form of video
experimentation, but also a really interesting way to learn about
editing aesthetics and other people's approaches to it.

hi all
a few years ago I made some templates that let you make what we could
describe as experimental video blog works. I have redone some of these
templates (more to come), and thought I'd give a quick heads up for
the 4 that are available, for those that want to use them.
They're located at http://vogmae.net.au/drupal/doing/rhizome
There are four templates. You can download them as zip archives. Each
is a QT movie with an associated XML file. The XML file is where you
put the urls of the video/audio you want the template to use.
These four all let you play two 320x240 videos next to each other, and
two of them also allow you to play a third soundtrack. They loop.
They are intended to encourage experimentation, and to make concrete
for those without access to authoring tools some features of what
fully web based video might actually do. (YMMV.)
No doubt there are some errors, please let me know and I'll try to fix
things, otherwise for those that are interested, I hope you enjoy.
WARNING: if you use these then they cannot be used in RSS feeds as
media enclosures. Eg if you rely on subscriptions these will not work.
This is because each QT movie must be able to read the XML file and in
RSS feeds all that is delivered is the QT movie which, once on the
client computer or device (eg iPod) can no longer find the XML file,
and so cannot find or load the media it requires.
