Social Net Coloring: Bringing Film-Making Into the Digital Homes

Abstract

Film-making is a high-investment, high-risk industry. We aim to define a framework to bring about a new socio-cultural phenomenon which we call Social Film-Making, bringing part of the film-making process into the digital home community. A wider group of people can be involved via their digital homes to participate in the various stages of film-making to contribute their creative ideas much like the practice of Wikipedia. By connecting people, we want to transform the film industry into a low-investment, low-risk industry and thus bringing film-making accessible to everyone. In this paper, we present only our work on Social Net Coloring, which is a apart of our Social Film-Making project, to enable project managers and artists to color large amount of digital frames in a web-mediated platform that provides excitement, efficiency and flexibility in the film-making process.
