First iMovie Film Festival

From David Pogue, "The Internet's first iMovie Film Festival is now open for business! The point, of course, is that the iMovie world should be able to watch, enjoy, and learn from each others' short films. Just deposit your finished QuickTime films to the FTP site listed below. Tim Franklin, president of Hoverground Studios (an independent film production company specializing in do-it-yourself filmmaking) and his team have kindly volunteered to administer the site. They'll screen out the porno stuff and post the rest for public downloading.

Here's how to get in: Using a program like Fetch or even the Network Browser in your Apple menu, connect to this site:

ftp://hoverground.com
login: hoverground01
password: imovie2000

Then drag your files into the folder that appears. (Drag in a little note that identifies you, your file name, your email address, and any other info you think viewers would need.)

This great idea came about from the discussion on this list [MacDV List] about the lack of a central Internet location where people could post their iMovie productions. The new Hoverground site will not only let the world see what iMovie can do, but will let me (in "iMovie: The Missing Manual") refer my readers to specific movies to point out clever techniques!"
