Current TV Assists Content Creation at Maker Faire

by Jeff Squires

While visiting San Francisco earlier this month, a friend of ours at Current TV mentioned that they were going to set up a booth at Maker Faire and hand out video cameras to the attendees to film their favorite projects as well as provide editing assistance for them to cut the videos on the spot and upload them to a dedicated site. We immediately loved the idea of this intuitive collaboration and have been anxious to check out the results.

The event was this past weekend and you can already watch some of the videos created. Other people who were filming at the creative gathering were also encouraged to upload or embed their films too.

This video about electric cupcakes caught our eye in particular:
