Here is how The WebLogProject movie will be produced.

By:

1) collecting donations from bloggers and Selected Sponsors

2) interviewing directly the Top 20 bloggers elected by you

3) gathering video clips from all the participating bloggers worldwide

4) editing and producing the first official master release

5) distributing the final movie FOR FREE via the major P2P networks and the Internet Archive, under a Creative Commons License

6) open sourcing all of the contributed and unedited clip material to all bloggers supporting this project with a small donation ($15 or more). Such supporting bloggers will be able to create a personal re-edited release of the movie that we will make available for everyone to see.

But let me give you a little more detail on how all this will happen:

One, we will be collecting video clips from all bloggers around the world. Anyone can submit a clip; no registration, no fee, no nothing. If you are a blogger and have a way to communicate:

what blogs are about

what is the potential of blogs

what can be a blog used for?

Then you can certainly send in your material. Clips can be audio segments, video posts, webcam or screen recordings, or video interviews done without as computer.

Two, we will be flying out to interview, face-to-face, the top twenty “stars” that bloggers will elect themselves. With a little help from contributing bloggers who will support this project financially with a small donation we will engage face to face the most vocal, opinionated and visionary among bloggers to share with the rest of the world what Blogs are all about and why we should pay attention to them. To do this we have put in place an open polling mechanism that leverages the power of folksonomies. With the help of delicious and a simple three-step procedure any blogger can now vote for any other bloggers in a transparent way.

Three, we are allowing all supporting bloggers making a donation, to gain full access to all of the original footage we will have brought back and to all the clips that will have become available from contributing bloggers. Each supporting blogger will be able to become a new producer/director of another, new release of the Blog movie. And so next to our own, there will be tens or more different movie releases of this project showcasing different viewpoints and ways to look at the blog revolution we are witnessing.

If it yet doesn’t make too much sense when reading the above, go and listen to the interview Robin Good just gave to Alex Williams of Corante EvetLab to launch this project: A Blog Movie Made By Bloggers
