Say the magic word and win a duck!

does anyone else feel like production of digital films specifically for internet is a medium of presentation creating problems and opportunities that one is not normally concerned with as regards films ? take for example a short in which you try to express a message or feeling . you can put in a bucket load of emotion and time , but unless you can distribute it efficiently no ones ever gonna see the bloody thing . so you post it on the net , right ? that way everyone can access it . But limitations regarding download time , image resolution , and of course the tiny screen you're crammed into means you lose details which may be imkportant in the first place .
it's a different kettle of fish altogether if you're producing specifically for web presentation . to me it feels like such an open opportunity , the boundaries of the medium are not even defined . one could create a surreal audio visual piece of art which simply conveys an emotion , which would just not work on a big screen .
you can go mad like a 60's boheme artist with aftereffects , stills , 2D animation and who cares ? if people want to see it they can appreciate it , if not then fine . on to the next idea . nothing lost . it just strikes me that it's a whole new form of expression , like painting , writing , acting , dancing - different and yet incorporating elements from all .
if you aren't producing especially for an audience , then you are more able to express yourself. you aren't trying to please or impress anyone , so you can let loose your most outlandish ideas . it's all digital so it costs buggerall . forget the crew , create something personal and fresh . at least , that's what i reckon , like .

Hi,
There are only a few main distributors out there and they pretty much control the market. They decide what the majority of people watch as far as films goes.
The Internet is one of the few cost-effective options the little people have of getting their work screened.
The Internet is still an emerging technology, so, it's up to people like ourselves to grasp this opportunity which has been handed to us, to take full advantage of it and make the most of it.
It's an opportunity we would never have got in the past and it's the best chance we have of getting our work seen.
ADSL is bring the improvements in Internet technology which is needed to show video and multimedia on the net and it's happening now. So be AWARE.
We are not trying to beat the big boys, I thinks that's an important point, we ARE trying to join them.

Don't let the Bast**ds get you down.
Remember, be strong, the ones that never give up succeed.

and that is why NO-ONE should control the internet, it is the one TRUE medium for the people, where you see what you want and censor to your own standard. Heavens, you can even LEARN from it, why do you think politicians regard it as such a threat!!??
More power to PEER-TO-PEER, a wireless FREE internet could also be a reality, making a mockery of the bandwidth sale in the UK, ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!
