A new UK website allows anyone to show a short film -

Wannabe documentary makers now have  the chance to showcase their work on its new broadband channel, FourDocs. Unlike vanity publishing in the book world, they don't have to pay for the privilege: the new service is completely free to use and is part of Channel 4's commitment to public-service broadcasting. Along with a good idea, all the budding film-maker needs is a digital video camera and editing software. Once they've shot and edited their film, they upload it to the FourDocs website, where it can be viewed by anyone using Windows or Macintosh media players.

"These documentaries can be on any subject, so long as it adheres to the specified legal guidelines," explains Peter Dale, head of More4 - Channel 4's new public-service digital channel - who conceived the project. "The only other stipulation is that uploaded documentaries be no more than four minutes long. This short format was chosen partly because it is a challenge for both new and experienced documentary film-makers, and also because four minutes is currently the level of attention span most people have when viewing on the internet."


Suddenly it seems that everyone on the Internet, from corporate giants to nonprofits, wants to host your bulky video content--free of charge. CNET article by Paul Festa

ClipShack is another  new online video hosting service that provides free video hosting for your clips. You can post up to 100 MB of video fro free. ClipShack seems to be very  "family" and amateur oriented. If you opt for the $5 a month paid subscription plan, you will be able to upload and store higher resolution videos instead of the lower resolution files hosted in the free accounts. Plus you will get to upload much more video. What's really interesting is that ClipShack converts all the uploaded video to a Flash format which means that you can upload a lot of video and that your video can be accessed by anyone who has a Flash viewer on their computer- which is about 95% or more of the entire world.


If you are looking for an easy to use site to store, post and share your videos and still images - for FREE - you should also check out the JussPress site. Its pretty cool. Plus, if you do need to go over your limit, it only costs $5 a month to store unlimited videos and stills. You can upload almost any kind of video and they will resize, transcode it into Flash, upload, and host your video for you. If you are doing video blogs, you can use their blog feature to get html links to your videos so you don't need to know how to create your own html code. And, if you are using the service for stills, they offer a cool online photo utility for organizing your shots, adding captions and even rotating them as needed.
