Have you heard about Theatre in Video?
With over 500 hours of online streaming video, Theatre in Video brings the stage to your very home via the interwebs. I was told that they just updated the site with the entire Shakespeare collection, and what’s cool is that you are able to view the entire play, watch only certain acts of it, and even bookmark your favourite scenes.
shakespeare approves.
If you’re into live theatre and drama, it’s definitely a site you should check out.

The National Film Board of Canada is Canada’s public film producer. Recently, its website upped the ante in the digital media universe and now allows anybody to view, online, some of the hundreds of film they produce. The NFB produces tons of documentaries, experimental films, animations and children’s shorts. Check it out here; something is sure to peak your interest.
One documentary which caught my eye was “Everybody’s Children”, a documentary about two refugees who come to Ontario to start a new life. Joyce, 17, fled the Democratic Republic of Congo to avoid being forced into prostitution by her family. Salieu, 16, witnessed the murder of his mother in Sierra Leone. Monika Delmos follows these two as they try to fit into this new country, face teenage pressures as well as go through the refugee application process.
Other videos you should check out include this trailer for a stop-motion animation called Madame Tutli-Putli, a woman who goes on an existential journey between real and imagined worlds as she takes a train ride. You can watch the whole film here.

Interested in getting a more professional look-and-feel in your videos and also getting better footage from your filming sessions? Try the poor man’s steadycam. With materials under $14 USD (that’s $14.48 to my fellow Canucks), you can steady your shots and make them look cool. Cool like this guy (designer of “the poor man’s steadycam, Johnny Chung LEE):
