Here's a great new CC project. From the website:

'OpenCut is a completely open-source film competition designed to encourage people to take professionally shot material and edit it in their own way. As there is no "one way" to tell a story, so too can stories benefit from being re-edited and re-told from many different vantage points and perspectives.

The winner of OpenCut 1.0 will receive a brand new AJA IO HD from Silverado. They will also be recognized as the "editor-of-record" at IMDB and will have their cut submitted to multiple film festivals.'


And the whole thing is licensed under a CC Attribution-NonCommercial licence - so you can also use the footage for your own projects (as long as they're non-commercial).

Registration for their current project, 'Susannah', are now closed. But they're planning an OpenCut 2.0. So anyone interested should definitely watch this space.
