Introduction to Online Video Distribution

The options for independent film makers to distribute their work have grown massively in the past few years. Web based technologies in particular provides opportunities for international distribution and the ability to reach new audiences with new voices.

• building a digital video delivery strategy to ensure the greatest impact your work
• Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and relevant FOSS tools available for video production, distribution, web publishing etc.
• encoding video for online distribution
• where to publish and how to use online content in a website or blog, such as embedding video etc.
• video podcasting, bittorrent and other key video-sharing tools
• hybrid distribution strategies – combining on and off-line distribution, particularly in low bandwidth scenarios
• use of Creative Commons and open content licensing, including finding media to use in your production
  

The workshops will be in English with Indonesian translation.
