HitRECord

hitrecord.org

Recently I joined an interactive filmmaking community called hitRECord, a professional online production company started by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. 

When I first heard about it I thought it was a really interesting and revolutionary way to do filmmaking. The way it works is that anyone can edit or remix anything that is on the website. You or others upload your own work which can be anything from pictures to music to video clips. Other people can see what you uploaded and if they want to use it they can download it and make it into something their own. These projects can get up to hundreds of people working on the same thing adding their own creative tastes.

Another cool thing about it is that you can make money this way! If Gordon-Levitt or someone else that is a major part of the company likes what they see, they can submit to film festivals and try to get it distributed. Whatever money it makes is given to every single person involved based on how much work they put into it. So not only can you make money but also get your name out there potentially.

Being in Media Fundamentals I thought this was a really neat thing I should try out since I’ll be doing all sorts of media that could contribute to this website. Hopefully I could add something that people would like! Check out the website I really recommend it!
