Launched in 1999, the aim of plugincinema is to help the user create their own web films. To this end it includes a film school with interactive exercises, a glossary explaining all the technical aspects you will come across, links to suppliers for equipment and books as well as bulletin boards, articles, news, and films. The site includes over three dozen short films of varying types and duration, requiring either Real, QuickTime or Media Player to be viewed. The site also includes a number of useful articles, a forum and equipment reviews. This site is no longer active, but the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine offers a capture of the website as it appeared on 31/08/2007. This does not include access to the moving images.
