The other day I tried out the Chevy Tahoe build your own ad and was amazed by the technology and the potential for its uses. Well that technology is here and for free for anyone to use. This is truly amazing in its possibilities because even a rank amatuer with no resources — including no camera, no editing suite, no footage, no audio of his or her own can patch together fantastic material just by using what’s free on the web.

Of course, those of us who have our own content could use that content singularly or blend it with any of the free public content on the Internet. Think about it. Any free content at flickr is yours to use. Any free video clips are yours to use. You just drag it and drop it, add the free sound, add some text and instantly a vlog–or why not a documentary.

This is one of those killer apts that is going to change everything, especially as it relates to citizen produced content. This from Robin Good, who as usual, is all over this new development:

Eyespot, Jumpcut and soon Motionbox (still inaccessible but already reviewed by the ever excellent TechCrunch), are the three most interesting examples of the new online video revolution taking place right in front my eyes. But they are not alone: The-N, VideoEgg, Grouper, VMix and many other ones, are all just about to introduce new features that will allow greater abilities to edit, remix, dub and post-produce any digital video footage(Check the audio interview with the David Dudas, Eyespot CEO…).

So I have a million things to do this morning, but I see myself standing on the verge of a whole new frontier and I am taking the plunge, here is my first piece made at eyespot.com. It is very primitive, using some photos I took in Miami Beach. I have to keep playing around at it. I never got all my photos or video clip up. Any how this is a quick slide show. Done all online for free with their drag and drop tools.

Like I said primitive, but only because I had very little time and am not fully familiar with the tools which are extremely sophisticated but easy to use.
