Thanks for your interest

The Video Intro Segment Project is MOMA's first major project to be undertaken using remote collaboration. This page is an attempt to bring together the necessary information and online resources that will be necessary to enable people to collaborate on the project from wherever they are situated on the planet.

The aim of the Project

The aim of the Video Intro Segment Project is to create a short, catchy and impressive video segment that can be edited into the start of all the official MOMA videos in order to (1) identify them as MOMA videos, (2) to give a sense of what the Museum is, and (3) to convey a spirit of place so that the viewer feels that they have arrived.

Some initial ideas

My first idea was to start with the stylized gallery image that adorns the landing page of this wiki, as I stared at it I thought of Tux the Linux mascot penguin, and how cool it would be to honor and promote Linux which I see as the foundation of the Free Open Source Software (FOSS) movement - something that is so dear to me hear and my politics - to me it epitomizes community empowerment in the digital age.

As I went on to research Tux I came across the video below, have a look:
