I've launched a website specifically for sharing scenes, complete with descriptions and timestamps from various films and TV shows. I'm reaching out to gather your perspectives and recommendations in these domains to improve the site and extend my outreach.
Link : https://scenestamps.com
You are not required to register/login to browse the site.
Scenestamps Features:
1. Search : You can directly search for a scene or a source.
2. Upload Posts : You can register with your google account, login and start posting right away. Unlike other sites in this specific domain, users are allowed to upload posts.
There are two types of posts - scene - source
Source is a movie,tv show, documentary, etc... One source can have multiple scenes
While creating a scene post, source can be selected there.
Scene post will have the timestamp fields. There are two types of it: - single - one input field of timestamp in which the scene happens. - from-to - two input fields, from and to within which the scene takes place.
3. Share posts : Share feature is available on both source and scene posts, with which you can share the post to your favorite social media platforms
4. Tagging system : You can add tag to the scene posts. You can also get all the scenes that has that tag name by clicking on it.
I think people wanting to create scenes is quite a small audience, but I want to make this the best it can possibly be so please post any problems or suggestions in the replies or at reddit.com/scenestamps.com or message me x.com/gjpx_ if you prefer.
Good luck! My goal was to be a sort of "Rap Genius" for movies and TV shows, but unfortunately, I couldn't really figure out the business angle, and my traffic was abysmal, so I had to shut it down. If you care to, you can see my old pitch deck here[1].
Only 10 registered users so far. One new user from this post I guess.
Would like to talk to you about this. My twitter : https://twitter.com/gjpx_
Depending on the origin, the same movie/episode may have different lengths for things like opening credits or "previously on ..." shorts
It's solvable, it just requires more tagging and more data.
Eg :Joker Stairs Dance: https://scenestamps.com/scenestamp/01hv65eahhtfr58phx5keb1b1...
Timestamp :1:30:19 to 1:30:16
joker dance takes place between 1:30:19 to 1:30:16 in the movie.
I.e. if in the same episode Netflix adds it's own logo and Amazon doesn't, then 00:01:35 will point to different scenes depending if you're watching Netflix vs Amazon
Joker Stairs Dance: https://scenestamps.com/scenestamp/01hv65eahhtfr58phx5keb1b1...
Timestamp :1:30:19 to 1:31:39
joker stair dance takes place between (starting from elevator)1:30:19 to 1:31:39(running from the cops where the dance ends) in the movie.
I was wondering Since all movies have subtitles, can't this be done if you give gpt4/chatgpt the whole subtitles and ask it to identify identify the start and stop time in the above subtitles where "The President of the United States meets the X-Men, as they try to convince him to work together against the growing mutant threat". Just a thought.
Subtitles are not accurate all the time. Yes I think gpt can make sense of the dialogues, but what about a fight scene with no dialogue in-between?? Can it identify Who is saying what? I don't think gpt can do these things.
Personally I don't have money for gpt api, this site is being hosted on 1 year free DO credit of $200 which will end within 4-5 months(I'm not kidding).
I personally would love a site like this where you can also search for cinematographically beautiful frames/scenes.
PS Hate to be boogie, but I can see this as being a great driver for sales of the episodes/series themselves, i.e. "to watch the whole scene, purchase here"
Eg : - https://scenestamps.com/scenestamp/01hx6g4asxryp0an0nax534jw... - https://scenestamps.com/scenestamp/01hx6fcqqkwae4cc79qhkft0v...
In case you've never registered, this how the form(s) looks like now: - create scene form: https://imgur.com/gallery/9aMxSyn

I don't want to display based on link types(youtube,blog,etc...).For now I just want users to able to add scene related links of any type quickly.
Just add some scene related links.
Soon 'Add related links' for 'sources' will be added.
This will be pushed later on.
I wonder is the timestamp canonical? I.e. will it vary based on what crap the streaming service might prefix it with or regional release differences?
It'd be really neat to be able to link to a specific scene halfway through an episode of a netflix show, like you can with youtube videos. Especially if it didn't mess with your watch history. They'd still authenticate users, so I doubt there'd be a rights issue.
For example, BBC uses: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001ttrg/mandy-series-...
YouTube uses: https://youtu.be/PVemGumEEgo?t=13
[edit] : Atleast with scenestamps you can stop dragging and get to the correct timestamp of that scene.
