The Open Video Alliance (OVA) is a coalition of organizations and individuals devoted to creating and promoting free and open technologies, policies, and practices in online video. "The big idea behind the Open Video Alliance is that heading into this future, the tools for creating, manipulating, and sharing video must be available to everyone. And while having community-developed, open source versions of these tools is critical, it’s not the whole story. Open video requires that legal and business structures support the ability of huge numbers of individuals to use video in ways that go beyond just watching." The Open Video Alliance wiki was started in July 2009 by Maarten Brinkerink and the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision (http://www.beeldengeluid.nl/), that donated their Inventory of Open Source Video Software to OVA. This wiki is now maintained by the openvideo community and welcomes help, content and ideas from all those that are interested. It has a huge list of Open Source Video Software.

Planet SciCast (UK) is an online repository that shares videos, sent in by children and adults, related to Science, Technology, Engineering or Maths (STEM). Video submitters can access guidelines and a handbook about shooting a video, write-ups of the activities, experiments and demonstrations. "These pages will help you plan your film, giving you advice about equipment, how to organise your team, and what sorts of things seem to work most reliably. You’ll find most of what’s here in our lovely Handbook, which you can download."

Dialogo (Dialogue) from the IE Business School in Spain is an interactive (Spanish) simulation used in the first production of multimedia documentation for the bachelor in communication of IE University in Spain and is embedded in the subject Audio-visual Analysis: Digital Writing-Editing. This interactive exercise introduces the practice of shooting and editing dialogue, with the help of a simulation in which students have to choose between different shots in the sequence according to the dramatic progression. What is mportant here is to use the camera positions correctly, different shots can be chosen directly through a 3D model of the shooting. After being introduced to the theory of the axis, students can create their own movies through the simulation. As an output, students can see the final real video, from the different angles they have chosen beforehand. Afterwards, all videos can be published on an open platform, where both professors and students can evaluate and leave comments about the films online or in a debrief in the following class. The dialogue used in the simulation is based on the novel “The heart of darkness” by Joseph Conrad.
