*'''Popcorn.js''': A Javascript framework for controlling time based HTML media [http://www.popcornjs.org/ popcornjs.org]
Web Made Movies is a software lab dedicated to transforming the way we create and experience video on the web. Its a way for filmmakers and software developers to work together to create video in an open source, participatory process. The aim of this project is to think outside the familiar player window, beyond the TV on-demand model, and envision what online video can be when it is woven into the fabric of the web.  Open web technologies like HTML5 video, svg, canvas, javascript, and Firefox make all this and more possible—not to mention applications we can’t yet imagine. But more importantly, creative people make this possible. WebMadeMovies will bring all of these elements together to advance the state of the art.

== About this project  ==
Web Made Movies is Mozilla’s open video lab. We’re bringing filmmakers and hackers together to explore how modern browser technologies like HTML5 can reshape moving images on the web.


* Software Sprint #1 - partnership with Seneca College's Centre for Development of Open Technology
'''Movies are engines for innovation'''
** Continuing the tradition of Seneca/Mozilla partnership, the team behind the succesful porting of Processing to processing.js will begin the first HTML5 video javascript library for browser based video


* Editing of initial videos for WebMadeMovies Episode #1 – what is the open web?
We believe that the production of a new type of cinema, informed by the same qualities that make the web unique, will drive further innovation in browser-based video. That’s why were striving towards feature productions at Web Made Movies that are built using open video and HTML5 – working together, filmmakers and web developers can push the medium into new territory.
** Content for this intitial sprint will include interviews with Jonathan Zittrain, Joi Ito, interviews from ROFLCon, local motors, The Village Telco and the GrassRootsMapping project to map the Louisiana Oil Spill
* popcorn.js 0.1
** a first release is open to the community


== July-August ==
The projects we’ll pursue will be a combination of those brought by partners, institutions and from within our own team.
* launching of webmademovies.org, a blog and demo showcase
* Premiere of Web Made Movies episode #1 at Whistler Summit
* Software Sprint #2 – FISL conference, Porto Allegre Brazil
* Web Made Movies episode #2 – What is FISL?
* popcorn.js 0.2


== August-September ==
'''Creating software in the process'''
* popcorn.js 0.3
* Invites to other video software hackers to join the initiative


== September October ==
We’ll also develop tools open video needs right now, including “popcorn.js,” a JavaScript library enabling video to interact with the rest of the web — mashing up Google Maps, image feeds, Twitter accounts and other semantic data. We’ll help filmmakers use these tools in productions that we hope can set an example, ultimately changing the market and culture around interactive productions online.

* continued work with Seneca CDOT on popcorn.js
 
== 2011 goals ==
* popcorn.js is being used by a small but growing number of filmmakers
* Web Made Movies is home to several professional filmmaking projects that are contributing content and resources
* A diverse collection of HTML5 demos exist as reference implementations for other filmmakers to understand the creative potential of open video
* HTML5 video is not only a viable alternative to flash, but promises more
 
= Get Involved! =
Web Made Movies is an open source project.  There are currently a group of software developers working on the first release of popcorn.js, as well as HTML designers create software demos.  We need your help with both - the best way to get in touch:

About this project

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

Movies are engines for innovation

We believe that the production of a new type of cinema, informed by the same qualities that make the web unique, will drive further innovation in browser-based video. That’s why were striving towards feature productions at Web Made Movies that are built using open video and HTML5 – working together, filmmakers and web developers can push the medium into new territory.

The projects we’ll pursue will be a combination of those brought by partners, institutions and from within our own team.

Creating software in the process

We’ll also develop tools open video needs right now, including “popcorn.js,” a JavaScript library enabling video to interact with the rest of the web — mashing up Google Maps, image feeds, Twitter accounts and other semantic data. We’ll help filmmakers use these tools in productions that we hope can set an example, ultimately changing the market and culture around interactive productions online.

Our ultimate goal: a new cinema that works like the web

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.
