THE LIFE OF MOVIEMAKING!
Steve Chen, Chad Hurley and Jawed Karim are all inspiring movie makers. They
have been making movies for just about three years. They have made the most
movies in the world because they have a program called YouTube; it has the most
movies ever. YouTube was the best invention of 2006. Three months after YouTube
was created, the slogan, “Broadcast yourself” went live. A lot of people like
YouTube and want to buy it, but Google spent $1.65 billion to buy YouTube so now
no one can get it. Over the last five years, many internationally renowned
filmmakers have embraced the all-digital format. Digital filmmaking’s popularity
initially came about because a slew of directors wanted to try out new technologies
for their own work. These new improvements are changing the digital moviemaking
landscape in spectacular ways. Digital moviemaking wouldn’t be getting nearly as
much attention if it weren’t for the bright idea concocted by the great men who
made YouTube. Moviemaking has never been easier or cheaper than it is today. All
you need is a good idea, and computer equipment to edit and then upload your
movie to a Web site or social networking area. Once the movie is finished and ready
to be uploaded for editing, there are many types of formats to choose form. A
popular way to create small audio and video files it to use MPEG; there are many
avenues to success. If the movie is good, funny, provocative, revealing, shocking,
and/or insightful, then there will be an audience.
Steve was on his 30th movie of the day, so he went to take a rest from that. The next
day he saw that all his movies were deleted from his computer. So he went up to
4
Karim and said, “Hey Karim, you know what happened to those movies that I made
yesterday?” Karim says, “Naww, I haven’t touched them at all,” in a suspicious
way. After Steve was talking to Karim, trying to figure out what happened; he went
to Chad and said, “Chad! What happened to my movies?” Chad started to explain
himself as Steve rudely cut him of saying, “No! I don’t want to hear it! I want to
know where my movie is!” So he didn’t say anything. He asked him again, “Where
are my movies?” He finally shrugged his shoulders saying, “I don’t know.” Now, he
finally leaves it alone and starts over. So he had an idea; he’s going to build a
camera into his computer. He was done with that, so he works on his third movie;
he decided to stop there. He went and took a fake nap, and the other friends pulled a
prank. “Hey, Chad?” Karim said. Let’s do it again. So, they are at his computer and
Steve see’s them. So as they are deleting the second movie, he comes in and see them
and say’s “I knew it, stay off my computer!”
