The football archive we unearthed in time for the World Cup is proving popular! Of special interest to Gloucester City fans is the clip of the team being hypnotised before the game. Click here to see the news article on the This is Gloucestershire website and here to see the clip for yourself!
Not only has WeVee news been spreading online and in newspapers, but the WeVee team have also been out and about in schools and at public digital events.
School workshops - Fancy having the WeVee team demonstrate how you can use WeVee in your lessons? All we need are enthusiastic pupils and a set of computers and we will transform your class into a team of editors and wannabe film makers in an hour! Contact us for more information.

Since our last blog post, in March, (that seems like such a long time ago!) the WeVee team have been busy finding topical archive clips for you to play with.
The General Election saw our 'Lets Vote' campaign put into action, with WeVee populated with lots of politically themed footage including Maggie Thatcher's visit to Birmingham in 1977 and snippets of what children had to say about politics in the run-up to the 1964 election.
Next up? We're calling all frustrated football fans!...
Come and relive England's golden era and create your own perfect score with our newly added football clips including vox pops taken on the streets of Birmingham during 1966 World Cup, and footage from the England Team's training sessions with Sir Alf Ramsey in 1973.
We've added over 30 football themed clips from the past century at www.wevee.co.uk Footage comes from across the West Midlands region and includes women's football game in Tipton from 1957, three Leicester players in match against elephants from the local circus! and selected FA Cup final matches dating back to 1904.
Don't forget that once you've viewed the clips, you can edit them to music and share your mash-ups on facebook and twitter. If you have a twitter account, follow us here

WeVee showcasing at Hello Digital TODAY!
Are you attending Hello Digital today? If so come and find us in the main hall and create your first WeVee.
Using the latest digital technology, WeVee gives you the chance to explore how the region has been captured on camera. Users can have fun putting together clips from as early as 1901 and as recent as five years ago, with clips ranging from the chocolate factories of Cadburys, to Malcolm X on the streets of Smethwick and from inside the classrooms of the 1940s to how to make a bomb shelter.
There’s a huge wealth of archive footage given a new lease of life through WeVee.
WeVee beta was first showcased at Birmingham’s ArtsFest during September. In development since January 2009, we were eager to see what people thought. It was an exciting couple of days with queues from our stand quickly growing as people wanted to find out more and try out the tool. Over the course of the weekend it was clear WeVee had appeal to all, as children as young as four through to adults in their eighties WeVee’ed away!
We’re using WeVee as a noun and a verb: you can create WeVees and you can WeVee by sharing and exchanging them.
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.
In the meantime…

Come along today at Hello Digital and be one of the first to WeVee.

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.
