Aspiring Filmmakers Listen Up!
Rootclip.com is a website where anyone with a video camera can show off their stuff.
Rootclip.com creates a short video or "rootclip" that starts off a story, and users then create their own video of what they think should happen in the next one minute chapter.
Users submit their one minute clips with an open-ended ending in order to continue the story on, and once the submission period is over, voting begins. When the voting is over, the winner receives $500, and a chance to compete in the final chapter of the video.
Once all the winners are selected, they compete in producing the final chapter that awards an all-expense paid trip to the Traverse City Film Festival where they will meet Michael Moore. Rootclip.com is a website where anyone with a video camera can show off their stuff. ... more -

Working Assets' new mobile division, Credo, is sponsoring a campaign in which illustrated images of people such as George W. Bush and Dick Cheney (drawn by Tom Tomorrow) are projected on a building next to blank dialogue boxes. Passersby can use their mobile phones to text in what they think the characters should say and then the words appear as part of the images.
