The DIY Video lab at the iSummit '08 will focus on how you 'do' open video - and by 'do', we mean produce and distribute.
The lab will be focused on the following goals:
- For participants to gain a good understanding of the copyright challenges for those involved in producing and disseminating open video, as well as some of the solutions available to filmmakers in managing copyright of open video content;
- For participants to collaborate on developing a draft checklist that instructs those who want to know more about what quantifies 'open video';
- For participants to gain insights into the lessons learned from video activists in getting their message to stakeholders and achieving the desired impact.
Mimi Ito, one of the conference chairs of the 24/7 DIY Video Summit, will discuss DIY Video during Session 2, and show some film clips that were produced from the DIY Video Summit event.
In Session 3, there will be some visitors from the Open Business lab and we will look at the impact of the Internet on independent production and distribution of film and video and new business models that change established ideas of how we incentivise and reward innovation.
The management of copyright in the production of open video is the subject of Session 4. This will include the sourcing of open stock footage for open video projects, correct licensing and attribution, legal resources and sensible distribution channels for open video.
Session 5 will scrutinise the use of open video as a tool for activism and social change by drawing on the participants' own experiences in this field. They will share these experiences and something approaching a best-practice discussion will be held.
Session 6 will see the finalisation of a checklist on how to 'do' open video and preparation of feedback to the iSummit community.
