  I'm a Copenhagen-based research assistent within the field of co-design,  and I have a practical, educational background in video/visual communication, journalism and facilitiating workshops.I am looking into ways of expanding video to networked platforms and currently research and work with a project involving Popcorn.js.

  I interested in sharing ideas, experiences and knowledge with you!

  Location: Copenhagen, Denmark

  Standard Set Answer:

  I basically got interested as I am researching on digital narratives and ways to create multiple narratives on online platforms,possibly extending existing networks. I've been following the development of Popcorn for quite a while and I'm now in a phase where I want to experiment and learn as much as possible - with a starting point in an existing project, containing video in raw formats.

  I am really hoping to learn the skill of climbing the first mountain of understanding javascript in Popcorn so that I hopefully can create something meaningful to base my research upon. It feels fairly fluffy to theorise and write about these things when a lot of it is happening right there: in the coding and creation.

  As I have only a vague idea about the task of organising study groups, I may have to leave the last question open for now.

  1. I learned classic video production in school, but we did not cover the integration of the many offerings of the web into video experience design. This is fascinating to me. 

  2. I hope to discover things that are innately interesting to anyone who entralled by the ability of humans to create video - how to make it a better experience for all. (e.g. Makers, Watchers, Sharers, Translaters, Commenters) 

  3. Sure.

  I've been working on video skills for about a year with a flip camera and Windows moviemaker. Before that I participated in a boot camp for new film-makers, sponsored by the Online News Association.

  I'm interested in learning about an open-source editing software so that I can work more freely and so that I can show students in my middle school journalism class how to make slideshows without buying expensive software.

  I am a new producer that wants to use popcorn and other open emerging technologies to create new immersive experiences to for my ever-expaning audience. 

  My primary goal is to create a creative workflow that will allow my team to take a subject matter and quickly build an immersive experience via an HTML 5-based platform, and rollout new media.

  I am primarily a video producer and would like to partner with a developer that wants to be part of the story-telling revolution.

  An example of someting I would love to do is to create a visually illustrated version of some of Joe Rogan's podcasts.  He references so many very interesting and fairly unknown topics during his discussions with his guests, it's the perfect platform to showcase new media to an audience that is primed for it.

  Standard Set Answer:

  I love telling people's stories and my passion is film.  I have been dedicating all of my free time to learning how to approach video production, editing, sound, and now lighting.

   

  Now it's time ot see how I can combine all of my work into a web platform that will make the experience that much better.

   

  It's very exciting to imagine the possibilities!!!!
