Relive England’s glory days with WeVee
25th June 2010. Posted by Tom Braithwaite.
Frustrated football fans can relive England’s golden era and create their own perfect score with an innovative online mash-up tool and access to a historic moving image archive.
The free web-based experience, WeVee, is providing users with access to a host of football related clips including vox pops taken on the streets of Birmingham during the 1966 World Cup, and footage from the England team’s training sessions with Sir Alf Ramsey in 1973.
Over 30 football-themed clips from the past century are available at www.wevee.co.uk. Footage comes from across the West Midlands region and includes a women’s football game in Tipton from 1957, three Leicester City players in a match against elephants from the local circus, filmed in 1974, and selected FA Cup Final matches dating back to 1904.
WeVee enables users to view and edit clips from the region’s rich collection of film and video archives, edit them to music and create their own mash-ups to share and swap online through social networking sites including Facebook and Twitter.
The football-themed clips join a rich archive of moving image footage dating back to 1901 including documentary film and animation, and previously unseen material from Cadbury’s, The Staffordshire Film Archive, The Midlands Archive for Central England and Vivid.
Rebecca Cadwallader, Creative Producer at In Cahoots said:
“Although things don’t always go to plan on the pitch, football fans now have the chance to see some of the best and most unusual matches in the history of the beautiful game. By creating their own mash-up of archive film they’ll also get to secure the perfect ending for their favourite team!”
WeVee has been developed by Birmingham based In Cahoots, the digital division of Television Junction, and digital agency, Clusta, with support from Screen West Midlands’ UK Film Council Digital Film Archive Fund.
