Project 2: Media Virus

Our initial idea was micro video blogging. It was a way of communicating to people through short length of videos. In doing so, people can find out what others were doing by watching videos rather than text messages or emails or some kind of messages. This idea was based on other websites like 5 second films, 12 seconds, Bubble Tweets.

Site summary: to create a site that allows users to upload 5-10 second video clips in the form of scenes then to both generate a movie clip narrative using tags and transition rules as well as allowing users to create their own custom random movies using a list of scenes. Generally our site falls in humor or comedy category since short videos are amusing to watch. Also our site ties with the idea of randomness since it is about uploading random video clips and generating random sequences that makes no sense.

Name of our group is called "iRNDM". The name is an acronym of 'it's random' and the idea behind is to create short random movie clips.
