Project Description

 

Original Video Content Creators (OVCC) are suffering from “freebooting”, particularity in the form of .gif (graphics interchange format) file format. “Freebooting” is the practice of downloading copyrighted content from a media-hosting website and re-uploading it without the creator’s permission, typically in order to accumulate a large following or for commercial profit through advertising revenue. This project will provide a social platform for OVCCs to post their videos in a .gif format to secure their following and advertising revenue. The project will also provide as a new social media platform and creative medium utilizing the .gif file format.
