Welcome to plugincinema.com
Description
We aim to provide you with all that you need to create your own films. There is a film school with interactive exercises, a glossary explaining all the technical aspects you will come across, links to suppliers for equipment and books as well as bulletin boards, articles, news, and films. We hope that this site is useful to 'seasoned' filmmakers as well as those just starting out since we also provides information on how to translate traditional analogue practise into digital filmmaking.
Finally, we hope that by passing on this knowledge we are enabling more people to become involved in the digital film making arena; that by stimulating interest and experimentation we are adding to the debate about the future of filmmaking and question whether we really are at the birth of a new form, a new on-line cinematic aesthetic; a plugin cinema.
