The new new video

I don’t know how many anthropologists actually take seriously the idea of making video into a real tool of the trade–but I was amazed to find and play with eyespot, an online video-mixing site replete with Creative Commons tracks, Prelinger archive footage and an increadibly cool little interface. I can imagine this being an amazing tool for the creation of an ethnographic video as a collaborative effort, especially if your people produce and want to share their own video… bandwidth and memory notwithstanding (it was too much for me to upload a 12MB file).
