Steve of Elbows asked: With that in mind I have a question about this mashup stuff. Is there any particular partnering organisation that was the primary driving force for this mashup stuff, does one of them have such things as one of its core aims? I dont know if Im wording the question right, I guess I am interested in whether this is something that will be expanded upon in future, and whether its in the form of a new website/service/social network thing, or as part of an existing thing like ourmedia? Because I want to know who the right people and groups are to talk to about this in future. Well, yes. Outhink, which sponsored this mashup event, is intent on creating a rich and deep mashup marketplace and remix center for both licensed and unlicensed works: video, music, audio, etc. Ourmedia will be helping with the effort. I'm very excited about the possibilities here. I know sull has previously said he's jazzed by the idea, and now Steve of E. has expressed an interest in this emergent phenomenon. If there's anyone else who wants to get involved with the mashup movement, give me a holler. It will take some time, but I think it'll happen by fall or thereabouts. jd lasica Yahoo!

[videoblogging] Re: Video mashup mania
Greetings, Good stuff :) The vision of a grassroots marketplace emerging that brings bands and visual remixers together is nice, something I support strongly, and something that has come up from time to time on VJforums. Plenty of VJs just want to do live stuff, some are part of AV groups so already have music, but there seem to also be plenty of VJs who fit right into the mashup culture. So it been a dream for a few years of getting more collaboration between bands, labels and VJs. However not much has been done to facilitate this so far. So when I found out about video blogging, I was fascinated with the parallels, on many levels, between VJing and videoblogging, in terms of source material, remixing, tools, techniques and the final result. And I have been a lot more hopeful that online media / videoblogging etc groups would be more likely to be able to actually build the online and offline relationships needed to facilitate sane and easy collaboration between different sorts of artists distributors. Anyway I have been unable to contribute much to this cause myself, chronic lack of time. Im now a bit out of date with the current online mashup community etc. I would like VJCentral VJForums to be part of some sort of mashup network, as there is a subsection of the VJ community that would surely like to be a part of this stuff. VJCentral is currently being slowly redeveloped so that a new version will emerge using drupal and having the ability to harness lots of the web stuff thats appeared over the last few yeears (blogging, tags, video etc). Also VJCentral as an organisation has not really formally existed in the past, so hasnt done much networking or attempts to forge partnerships with other organisations. This year we are hoping this will change, and it strikes me that once we have a org setup and a new system powering the web side of things, we would like to talk to orgs like Ourmedia and Outhink to see if there is the possibility of a mutually beneficial partnership in areas where there is common interest. With that in mind I have a question about this mashup stuff. Is there any particular partnering organisation that was the primary driving force for this mashup stuff, does one of them have such things as one of its core aims? I dont know if Im wording the question right, I guess I am interested in whether this is something that will be expanded upon in future, and whether its in the form of a new website/service/social network thing, or as part of an existing thing like ourmedia? Because I want to know who the right people and groups are to talk to about this in future. So to repeat myself with a bit more detail, VJCentral has some users who would be interested in one or more of the following: Making videos for bands/musicians/labels ( also VJing live for them if appropriate) Making video clips/scenes/graphics for other people to use Using clips from other peoples video Watching mashups created by other people Remixing mashup culture in general A range of economic options from free to fee A range of copyright etc options from public domain and CC to full copyright exclusivity stuff. And probably some other stuff Im not thinking of right now, certainly I keep thinking there are loads of VJing software/hardware tools that certain kinds of videobloggers and mashers could use to have a lot more fun positive results, and certain VJs who could use help harnessing the new online media realities that have emerged in the last few years. Cheers Steve of Elbows --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, JD Lasica [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Two weeks ago there was what I think may turn out to be a significant milestone in the world of video mashups. It didn't receive any mention on this list (because we've all been running around like crazy), but I thought some of you may want to know about it. Shortly before the South by Southwest Music Festival, Outhink, IODA (the Independent Online Distribution Alliance) and Ourmedia joined forces to sponsor a video mashup event. Five indie music labels agreed to have one of their bands' songs used as the music track for a video mash-up. I invited a half-dozen videobloggers from this list to participate, and Ryanne Hodson, Josh Leo, Steve Garfield, Annaliese Rittershaus and I wound up producing 2- to 5-minute video shorts. The rules were minimal: grab whatever video footage or photos you've shot, or public domain or CC-NC licensed material, and mix into a visual collage that works with the music. We then showed them to the bands and labels, and they were blown away. So was I. I was especially fascinated by the three different treatments of the same song by three vloggers. As I told The Herms, why pay a director $100,000 to make a music video when you can get talented vloggers to do it free, or cheap? Outhink hopes to facilitate a media remix marketplace that brings together different constituencies -- say, a band looking for a
