Stars of CCTV

I decided to concentrate on the different ways you can get images and video onto sites on the web for public viewing and feedback reviews.

I looked at;

• YouTube – which allows anyone to watch and share original videos online.
• Flickr – which allows you to upload and share your photos online either by sending them over the web or via camera phone.
• GoogleVideo – which allows you to upload video, provided you own the necessary rights.

I signed up to all of the above and uploaded a video to YouTube and GoogleVideo and a picture to Flickr. All files uploaded without any problems but YouTube took the longest to load. In terms of getting your work seen by as many people as possible all 3 sites have their uses, you can even integrate the videos directly into blogs or websites and they are all free to use. There are literally millions of images and videos that have been shared worldwide.

I am interested in producing some film or animation work and in this regard I could find using YouTube and GoogleVideo and in some ways Flickr constructive in terms of getting the work seen be an audience with the power of rating my work after viewing it. People can rate the work out of 5 stars, leave a comment or email a link to the video to friends, family or colleagues. By reviewing the responses you can tell if your work is well received and worth marketing to a more profitable kind of mass media such as through TV production or pay per view download.
