Media Meditation #1: Stumbling around the intenet...

This is a really awesome video. To me it also represented how our world is now connected through the internet.

If you decided not to watch the video or are just looking for a summary, it is basically a documentary filmmaker (or many, check Playing for Change) who travels the world and has different street performers sing the same song (this one is "Stand By Me"). It is a really incredible piece of work and further shows what we can accomplish through the internet.

This video really inspired me to thinking about what I can do as a filmmaker, it is such a simple idea but has been executed so effectively that the featured musicians now travel on tour performing all over the world. All we need is an idea and something to capture it on, thanks to the internet we now have the distribution method.

I would love to one day try my hand at a project like this but it takes extreme dedication and people willing to help you out but once you have these things it can prove to be very rewarding. This group: "Playing for Change" now tour the world and raise money for charities.
