Resources

This part of Netribution is very much a work in progress - if you'd like to see more let us know what you'd like to see, or better still - send us some stuff! 

At the moment there is a user generated wiki of information about media and using netribution; a glossary  for film and TV terms; a links directory for companies, organisations, products, services and useful destinations; classifieds; job postings and a calendar for film events listings

a few useful web resources...

Filmmaking networks

The original - Shooting People - charges £30 a year, with a trial option. Talent Cirlce is a free alternative, while Mandy.com contains main similar features in a different format (crewing, services, classified, etc). Other options include ProductionBase and Broadcast Freelancer.

Web editing

Get a free account where you can upload and then edit and mashup your content from a host of new 'beta' status websites, including JumpCut, VideoEgg - which has good capabilities for affiliates, Eyespot and Grouper.  

Video hosting

The biggie in this field YouTube has rapidly become amongst the 4th most popular site on the web, alongside heavyweight video.google.com. There's maybe better chance of getting noticed on smaller sites such as Veoh and Vimeo. Archive.org will host your media in hi-res if available under certain licenses - which coupled with OurMedia.org and the Miro player makes a powerful non-corporate alternative. If you have a short film, BBC Film Network may host it if they think it's good enough. Current.tv has a branch in the UK, and may pay you if they want to broadcast your work on TV. Canada Broadcasting Corps' Zed TV, however, is open to all and the best of the work gets broadcast.
