Pitchfork.tv
Just thought I'd post up the new pitchfork.tv beta. It'll likely change lots, and sorry it is not Lndn based but promising none the less. Maybe it'll be worthy of a full project post in the future. http://pitchfork.tv/

Video on web-demand
In this YouTube world, posting video online is currently as popular and as 'remarkable' as creating simple text-only web pages was back in the early 90s, which to some 'multimedia' developers felt like a bit of a step backwards at the time. It's old media, but in a new media landscape.
In the last ten years of course, the web, our thinking, and our approach to 'new' media has dramatically changed, and our expectations of what we can do with it have expanded exponentially.
More direct interaction with video-based materials, or what I refer to as televisual media, is bound to be an area where we will see the next great leaps forward in the online world. And I look forward with as much interest and excitement as I did with the internet itself back in 1995.

So true...
So much so that the all-mighty flickr has now added moving image capabilities (for pro users), and have changed their lingo to ask if you want to upload a "thing" rather than a picture.
Let's all take a moment to thank our compression monkeys for bringing such high quality interpretations of original footage at such small byte sizes these days.
I am currently trying to relocate a link of a really nice example of interactive video (like you can click in the frame to bring up other bits) while remaining in the video. Hard to explain but sort of like the ability to add a note to an image in photoshop. And a sample where you can move the camera around a video, similar to driving in a car and moving your head.
I like video online. I doubt I would have ever seen this otherwise http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbV7loKp69s&feature=related

Check out HBO Voyeur
See: <http://www.dynamolondon.org/projects/143>
I thought this site was very interesting in that it showed a quite involved use of multiple layers of video and parallel story threads developing, and presumably it linked nicely to the broadcast TV component (which sadly I was not able to enjoy here in the UK).
I know its a while since I picked up this thread, but as I said earlier this whole field of moving image and embedded interactivity is one which excites me.
Has anyone else seen any similar stuff that's worth checking out?
