Covered today by the BBC’s breakfast TV show, and undoubtedly going to be more exposed as a result is the One Man Movie - "Madness In the First Degree"
It is basically a film produced by one man - and when I say one man - I mean the same man acting, directing, doing the artwork, SFX, Producing - the whole shebang on his own. It is being billed as the worlds first one man movie.
I’m listing it here as it must be of interest to anyone into home production.
To learn more about the results take a look at: http://www.madnessinthefirstdegree.com
Once upon a time I may have mentioned Joost. Now I have to as it doors are open to the public and not just those interested in Beta Invites.
First of all what is Joost? Well it is a video sharing and download site. It is free to use and contains a lot of content - so the difference between it and YouTube is… Legal access to films and TV shows in their entirety. It’s content wages wildly from Star Trek films to user created content. It’s a little bit like a weird and oddball cross between YouTube and Satellite Television. That makes it interesting. Through its show manager you handle no budget, low budget and huge budget content. Its a place where the new creator can exist with the establishment. Or where the weird mixes with the mundane. It is part of the new opening up in media that is going on.
So if you fancy another outlet for your material - or watching some interesting material - take a look - you may find it interesting

This is a first on Shared Creation; I’m praising Microsoft. That’s because I just heard an interesting thing about Windows Live Writer. So I downloaded it and took a look.
You know what it is true!
What’s True? Windows Live Writer is a really good blog editor. It’s display is clean, clear and easy to type on. More importantly when you follow the wizard to create a blogging account it goes and copies all of the styles from your web site. So you end up typing into something that looks just like a published post on your blog. A definite bonus to blog and web writers.
Its also handles tags, links, pictures, map reference and video inclusion.

We rarely cover information for musicians - someting that should really change. However I’ve found a useful article full of equipment advice for struggling musicians.

I haven’t talked about the ongoing development of Shared Creation in a while. Mostly this is because after my initial experiments it has settled down into a cycle of posting material and running routine maintenance. The end result has been a growing readership and increased exposure to interesting material for myself. Of course there are also my other projects that I cover on Shared Creation. These also move at their own rate. Everything it seems has its natural pace, and whilst pace can be increased, natural development does have a nice feel to it.
Until that is something new comes along.
Something new has come along.
I’d like to introduce you to http://sharedcreation.tumblr.com/ AKA the Shared Creation Tumblelog.
I spend a lot of time online and thought it might be interesting to have a place where I can publicly file away interesting stories and images. Just a random stream of discoveries that don’t easily fit into the rest of Shared Creation but is related and good to see.
Of course what I don’t want to see is to have a grand idea and to not follow it through. So before announcing it I set the target of 5 entries per week - and I found that to be a good posting number and easy to achieve. From now on - there will be 5 entries per week in the tumblelog. In truth this is a new idea - and a definite experiment, but I have an idea it will work out.
You may be asking why I didn’t host it myself in Shared Creation. There are three reasons. First it was an instant set up, with a great system for making instant entries. Take a look at tumblr.com - its a great way of instantly posting information. Secondly - as Shared Creation gets more readers it makes sense to move an experimental new section into off site bandwidth. Allowing the new addition to find it’s feet without my bandwidth getting any larger. Finally of course - by making the tumble blog independent it has a chance of bringing more readers in.
So take a look at http://sharedcreation.tumblr.com/ I hope you like it.
