You too can create ads (a user-created-ad is a V-CAM, according to current.tv) that will be shown on TV. Check out the current.tv "assignment desk" and go make an ad for one of these products:

MOD Films, other pointers to remix sites
One of the sponsors of the San Francisco International Film Festival remix site is MOD Films. From their site:
MOD Films is a next-generation film company developing a new relationship to online audiences.
The company was founded to explore the idea of re-mixable films that can be extended through MODs (modifications) in the same way as video games. The heart of our business is quality stories and telling them in new and interesting ways.
In their site is a list of remix sites that seems useful, though I haven't explored it fully. Here's a sample:
- The Internet Archive
http://www.archive.org/movies
The largest free online archive of video content aimed at encouraging the use of moving images in new contexts. Common Content
http://commoncontent.org/
"A catalog of works licensed in the Creative Commons, available to anyone for copying or creative re-use."
re-mixable films tribe
http://remixablefilms.tribe.net/Discussion and events forum. "Why let game players have all the fun? Let's MOD the movies. How would you fiddle with your favourite films if they let you? What are people doing anyhow?"
machinima.com
http://www.machinima.com/Listings and downloads for all real-time 3D movies and real-time movie-making technology. Most movies are available for download and have been made with game software.
Oneworld.tv
http://tv.oneworld.net/Vibrant online video community focused on social justice issues.
Free Cinema
http://www.freecinema.orgFree Cinema is an experiment with two goals: 1) To introduce independent filmmakers to the ideas behind the burgeoning free-culture movement. 2) To see if applying those ideas to feature filmmaking will result in something new and interesting.
Open Source Cinema
http://www.opensourcecinema.com/Open Source Cinema is a film project dedicated to creating movies in ways inspired by the free software and free culture movements. The goal is for filmmakers to be able to collaboratively create film works, via Internet, using shared footage from a variety of sources.
