Award-winning documentary maker Brett Gaylor will give us an overview of the innovative approaches to interactive online video from around the world. Brett will also talk about his own work experimenting and developing open video tools, and discuss ways media makers and citizens might utilize open video tools and techniques. He will also lay out where he thinks the future of web video is going and the current threats and opportunities to open video.
