Video flash wizard wanted!

category: Generation C
by simon,

Here’s a whirlwind update of what we’ve been up to in the last while.

We met our Marketing Magazine Award sponsors, Malcove. Great guys, and we’re not just saying that because they’re giving us $10,000. (But thanks for that as well!)
We’ve started looking for a happenator and a flash developer to help make a NZ pilot happen in January 2008. We’ve had a flood of applications for happenator (around 30) but none for Flash Develop. Anyone got any advice for us?

Here’s the job description:

This summer people from all over New Zealand will be filming themselves and each other, showing what their generation is all about. At Looksy.org we want to make it easy as for them to upload their video, and play it back straight away.

That’s why we’re looking for someone to help us set up a flash video media system on our server which will enable us to handle video uploads and flash encoding automatically on the server side – an instrumental piece of the process of facilitating a worldwide co-created documentary (a world first!) We need someone with extensive knowledge of configuring and maintaining apache web servers.

Skills in the following areas will be useful:

Apache web servers
(not necessarily setting them up – but working with a host who provides them – configuring etc)

Installing server based software

Flash and Flash Video

Good knowledge of the open source concept and the ability to follow a project’s documentation and pick up what is needed to make the software work for us

Looksy.org - the voice of Generation C - is the world’s first consumer-generated documentary, made by and about Generation C.

The post starts immediately and will continue until the start of March.

Email us at discover@looksy.org with your CV and any Flash projects you’ve worked on.
