    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, are described that enable crowd-sourced collaborative movie-making. An aggregate set of movies contributed by one or more users may be analyzed to determine statistical information regarding selection of different media clips by the crowd of contributors, as well as to determine metadata information of the media clips selected by the crowd of contributors. Based on the statistical usage information and the metadata information of the aggregate set of movies contributed by the crowd, different types of crowd-view movies may be generated that represent different views and themes of the collaborative movie-making effort of the crowd. Different crowd-view movies may therefore be generated from the same set of contributed movies based on the specific preferences of a viewer requesting to view a crowd-view movie.
