NeonGrid offers an IMDb-esque directory for web videos
There’s no question how useful the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) is for gathering info on a costume designer or the complete list of Ray Liotta films. Unfortunately, hasn’t been a similar for works published on sites like Vimeo or YouTube… until now. Thanks to co-founder and former IMDB exec John W. Gibbons, NeonGrid looks to tackle the list of credits for online short films, music videos and commercials with details like actors, director and video lead — complete with contact info. The directory allows folks who work on web-based moving pictures to tag their achievements that get organized alongside the corresponding video. As you might expect, a system of checks is built in to keep info accurate amongst the current tally of 30,000 credits.
