Mini Maker Faire

In September 2012 a gathering of fascinating, curious people seeking to foster grassroots innovation in every community, descended on Shelburne Farms, Vermont in the form of the Champlain Maker Faire. Inspired by their dedication to community, creativity and technology, VCAM set out to discover what the Maker Faire was all about.

This footage came from Montreal’s first-ever Mini Maker Faire. The filming was done as part of a media project whose mandate is to tell stories whenever hands, tools and materials converge.

On 20 October 2012 the first official Mini Maker Faire of continental Europe was held in Groningen, The Netherlands. With over thousands of visitors, makers, participants and other awesome people the Maker Faire was a big hit. Visueel Vermogen was asked to make a compilation video of the day.
