This is an exciting time if you are an aspiring film maker. Technology has made it easier than ever to get your creations and your name out there for people to view. One such creation has popped up that promises to be quite exciting, it’s called HitRECord.org, and it’s backed by Joseph Gordon Levitt, or “Average Joe” as he is listed on the site.
The site involves either posting a creation of sound, film or text or collaborating on a current project on the site. You can download any project and add creative ideas, tweak certain aspects or add the one thing missing to make it a hit. If the video is deemed worthy, Levitt will go with it, and all the people who worked on it get a share of the money, 50/50. Currently, he is working on some of the projects on the site and along with people at a kiosk at the Sundance Film Festival, and is planning on showing a finished project at the festival.
The community is growing daily, and seems to be really supportive and amazingly creative. One of the big projects that Average Joe is working on is a video about encouraging donations to Haiti, and it is incredible seeing the different contributions.
Below is the video with Levitt talking about his creation and the rules involved with the site. I know I can’t wait to start browsing and possibly upload my own video. Who knows, with the help of some of the people on there, it could be a hit!
And, if you feel like helping out with my contributions, look me up, I’m The Hopp.
Oh, and here is the Loafing Link! Check it out!
