Be, Live, Go, Share WeVee at ArtsFest!

We had a very exciting day yesterday as WeVee beta went live. The WeVee stand at ArtsFest, Birmingham proved to be a roaring success.

So what is WeVee?

WeVee is a new unique, online tool. It gives anyone the chance to view clips from the region’s fantastic archive collections of film and video, edit them to music tracks and make a short ‘mash-up’ (two and a half minutes max) as your personal take on the region’s history. Try out different effects by mixing the original sound of your selected clips to music.

WeVee uses the latest digital technology to give our audience the chance to explore how the region has been captured on camera. They can have fun putting together clips from as early as 1901 and as recent as five years ago.

It's showcasing again today, so come and find us at our ArtsFest Stands 1 & 2 opposite the beach in Chamberlain Square. We’ll be there from 11am through till 6pm and it would be great to see you there. Just come down and have a go at creating a WeVee for yourselves.

WeVee’s official launch is in January 2010. At this stage you’ll be able to share your WeVees, not just on the WeVee Gallery but across social networking sites.
