Online Video Production

Resources

Valentin Spirik:

Make Internet TV http://makeinternettv.org/ is a site from the Participatory Culture Foundation that offers "step-by-step instructions for shooting, editing, and publishing online videos".

The Freevlog Tutorial http://freevlog.org/tutorial/ has "everything you need to get started videoblogging" (also called Vlogging).

The Ourmedia Learning Center http://www.ourmedia.org/learning-center/ is "a rich educational resource for everything you wanted to know about user-created video, audio, and other forms of citizens' media". It also features an Open Media Directory http://www.ourmedia.org/learning-center/open.

Video Toolbox http://www.youtube.com/t/video_toolbox is YouTube's video making guide. Very good for beginners - not just for YouTube users.

Make Better Video for YouTube http://www.videomaker.com/youtube/ (where YouTube's "Video Toolbox" tutorials come from) offers more quite useful video making tutorials for the advanced beginner.

The Wikipedia iMovie http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMovie and Windows Movie Maker http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Movie_Maker entries are good starting places for basic video editing software. A basic DV video editing software for Linux is the open-source Kino http://www.kinodv.org/.

Another very interesting resource (in the making) is the Filmmaking course from Wikiversity http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Filmmaking that attempts to offer a full (and free) film making online course.
