Open source is the future, I guess. Even in the world of advertising and entertainment. Someday soon, Coke will provide us with raw footage and ask us to cut our own commercials for them. Maybe the next Friday the 13th movie will be made by fans from parts of other Friday the 13th movies. It might be pretty good, too (or just as bad, depending on how you look at it).
So get your editing skills in shape by participating in Stray Cinema's open source film project. Download the raw film footage. Craft your own narrative. Then edit to your heart's content (links to free editing software can be found on the site). You upload a two-minute sample of your film, people vote on their favorites, and in true open source fashion, the best ideas win. Three winners will get to edit their complete film and present it at a London screening.
You have until June 21 to submit your film sample.
When it comes to creativity, limits can be very liberating. Check out the films already submitted. It's amazing how many different ideas can come from the same pool of footage.
