WITNESS GUIDES

ACTIVISTS’ GUIDE TO ARCHIVING VIDEO

Archiving video is an essential but often overlooked component of video advocacy. Learn about best practices for organizing, storing, preserving, and sharing your footage.

VIDEO AS EVIDENCE FIELD GUIDE

The Video as Evidence Field Guide helps filmers use videos to expose abuse and bring about justice. This resource helps ensure that more cameras in more hands can lead to more exposure and greater justice.

WITNESS TECH TOOLS

CameraV: CameraV is the easiest way to capture and share verifiable photos and video proof on a smartphone or tablet, all the while keeping it entirely secure and private.

ObscuraCam: In a world of viral videos and facial recognition, ObscuraCam helps you share photos and videos while protecting the privacy of you and those you care about. With ObscuraCam you can blur and disguise faces in your photos and videos. Information that could identify you as the cameraperson is removed from the files for added security.

VIDEO4CHANGE NETWORK

WITNESS is a member of the Video for Change Network, a network of organizations from around the world that are using video in the fight for human rights. The v4c.org site includes free guides, resources, and case studies.
