Web Made Movies

The Bay Area Video Coalition is collaborating with the Mozilla Foundation and ZeroDivide to explore the possibilities of web-native filmmaking to help the internet find its own storytelling voice.

HTML5 and open video have created an exciting opportunity: cinema and journalism that can pull people and data from across the web into the story. Creating new ways to inform, educate and entertain online.

Mozilla and BAVC are working to integrate Butter, a kind of “web-native” filmmaking software devised in Mozilla’s Web Made Movies innovation lab, into The Factory’s summer-based Community Filmmaking Partnerships (“CFPs” – short films that The Factory makes for/about East Bay non-profits).

Web Made Movies is Mozilla’s open video lab. They are bringing filmmakers and hackers together to explore how modern browser technologies like HTML5 can reshape moving images on the web.
