- it works fine on my imac g5, but it did not work well on a friend&#39;s g4... i did not want to upload a smaller version, since the edges of the 3d objects/graphics tend to look too pixelated when viewed full-screen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but the &lt;strong&gt;blip.tv flash video version above &lt;/strong&gt;looks astonishingly good (for flash) even when viewed full-screen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;big&gt;editing by number&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;maybe something about the editing: i think this is the first time that i cut a complete video using only clips/blocks of video with exactly the same length (or half/a quarter/an eight of that length). this was necessary in order to have the visuals really fit to the minimalist 120 bpm techno(id) track that i had previously prepared in garageband. i am surprised how well this &quot;editing by number&quot; worked out and how organic in fact it looks...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;tags: &lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/visuals&quot; class=&quot;performancingtags&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;visuals&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/3d&quot;

michel bauwens, centred around the question &lt;i&gt;what is peer to peer?&lt;/i&gt;, that i just finished editing. the full length 20 min. interview is featured in this &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.masternewmedia.org/news/2006/09/29/network_collaboration_peer_to_peer.htm&quot;&gt;robin good article&lt;/a&gt;. the music used is the cc-licensed track &lt;i&gt;my piano sings (part 2)&lt;/i&gt; by john holowach from his archive.org hosted album &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.archive.org/details/Piano_Works&quot;&gt;piano works&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;while i think the end result is quite acceptable in terms of technical quality, i just want to mention that the original audio recording was not ideal from an editor&#39;s point of view and that i also only had a lower resolution version of the original video to work with... well, this was a no budget production and so compromises had to be made.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;big&gt;thoughts on jump cuts&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i opted for hard cuts only (exception the dissolves for the titles) and since there was just this one camera angle those cuts are all &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump-cut&quot;&gt;jump cuts&lt;/a&gt;. i think it works quite well, still it might appear a bit experimental to some people, but i think after a minute or so one adapts to the slightly unusual style. i could of course have easily added (quick) dissolves, but somehow did not want to do that. dissolves tend to be overused, specially in broadcast tv where there is often not enough time for an editor to make cuts really work... and i admit it: i just love jump cuts - my most radical attempt at jump cut editing so far is my &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.archive.org/details/valentinspirikhisgirlfridaybetweenthelinesedit2005/&quot;&gt;his girl friday - between the lines edit (2005)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, this one is an 8 min. jump cut orgy (those few dissolves you can see are from the original footage).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;b&gt;new: flash for internet archive videos!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the embedded flash video by the way is from the internet archive - yes, archive.org now also offers youtube style flash video next to the download option! it&#39;s still in beta and sometimes the video takes too long to load, but i&#39;m sure that they will eventually fix that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;two tips:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• you can &quot;activate&quot; the flash option for older uploads via &quot;Edit item&quot; &amp;gt; &quot;You may also visit the Item Manager&quot; and then &quot;derive&quot; (third button from the top). after a few minutes you should see the flash version of your video... for all new uploads the flash video is derived automatically from your upload.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• once you hit &quot;play&quot; there is a blue &quot;?&quot; underneath the video - if you click that you&#39;ll get another page that shows the code for embedding the video in a blog post - i did just that for the michel bauwens interview and this is how it looks -  enjoy:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;object type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot;

ok, somehow the archive&#39;s embedded flash video does not play back for me, until i find out how-to fix this, here the blip.tv flash version (and this is the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.archive.org/details/what_is_peer_to_peer_320x240_h264&quot;&gt;video&#39;s internet archive page&lt;/a&gt; if you want to download the video.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;update ii:&lt;/span&gt; the archive&#39;s flash video now works after i added the embedding code again - i&#39;ll see if i can find out what exactly first caused the problem...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(still here the blip.tv one:)&lt;br /&gt;

download page at the internet archive. i think it works much better than the one i had before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;if you have a video/film in the archive&#39;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.archive.org/details/opensource_movies&quot;&gt;open-source movie section&lt;/a&gt; and don&#39;t know &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;how-to add an image to your movie&#39;s page&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• post the image to your blog/site or upload it to the photo sharing service of your choice. copy the url.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• on your archive.org movie&#39;s page click &quot;&lt;b&gt;Edit item&lt;/b&gt;&quot; (on the left, you need to be logged in).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• on the next page (&quot;Item Manager&quot;) there is the &quot;description&quot; field: use simple &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp&quot;&gt;html&lt;/a&gt; code to add/link the image.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• scroll down, hit &quot;Submit&quot; and try refreshing your page after a couple of minutes to see the changes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;you could also upload the image to your movie&#39;s ftp directory:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Edit item&quot; &gt; &quot;Item Manager&quot; &gt; &quot;checkout -- edit item&#39;s files (non XML)&quot; &gt; copy/paste ftp url &gt; upload via ftp &gt; &quot;check your item in  by clicking on this link.&quot; &gt;

&quot;an &lt;b&gt;open source film&lt;/b&gt;. Here you are able to download and re-edit the raw footage from a film we have &lt;b&gt;shot in London&lt;/b&gt;. (...) the first of many open source films to be provided by Stray Cinema.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It basically places the &lt;b&gt;editor in the centre of the production process&lt;/b&gt;. This of course makes a lot of sense if you want to produce something that resembles a traditional movie: &lt;b&gt;the open-source film editor would be what the open-source programmer is for open-source software&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately it looks like they plan to provide the source footage in a low-resolution (only a selected few will be able to finish their work with the high quality source footage). This seems a bit unattractive to me if you are serious about editing/film making.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it raises another question:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;At what resolution do you have to provide your source footage for a movie to be open-source?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://kevflanagan.wordpress.com/open-source-shorts/&quot;&gt;Open Source Shorts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; is &quot;a &lt;b&gt;screening of short films&lt;/b&gt; released under &lt;b&gt;Creative Commons licences&lt;/b&gt;.&quot; (Disclosure: one of my own works will be shown according to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://kevflanagan.wordpress.com/2006/11/24/open-source-shorts-press-release/&quot;&gt;press release&lt;/a&gt;.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.opensourcecinema.org/cchost&quot;&gt;Open Source Cinema&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;: &quot;...with the goal of creating a &lt;b&gt;remix film community&lt;/b&gt; for the collaborative production of a feature documentary currently in development with The Documentary Channel and The National Film Board of Canada.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the following is an example for a production where I am &lt;b&gt;not sure if it should be called open-source at all&lt;/b&gt;. The project wants people to participate but gives very &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iamawakening.org/specific.html&quot;&gt;detailed instructions&lt;/a&gt; on what is missing/should be done: &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iamawakening.org/&quot;&gt;I Am&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &quot;may turn out to be the first major &quot;open source film&quot; project in history. (...) Community &lt;b&gt;members who would like to work with the assets of the film&lt;/b&gt; to make their own contributions &lt;b&gt;can obtain all of the original media in high resolution&lt;/b&gt; and fidelity &lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;by purchasing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt; a copy of the DVD.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, you may &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;buy&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; the DVD and &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;then work&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; (for free...?). Is this open-source...?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interesting in this context: &quot;The purpose of the I AM Movement is, saying it bluntly, to help save the world, by catalyzing the awakening of millions of people to recognize the literal truth of their oneness with each other, with the natural Earth and the Cosmos.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For me &lt;b&gt;open-source film making&lt;/b&gt; is not a religion, it is about &lt;b&gt;sharing resources&lt;/b&gt; (and know-how) and &lt;b&gt;empowering people&lt;/b&gt;. But &lt;b&gt;film making is also always a business&lt;/b&gt; of some kind and conflicts between the creative departments and the production department are quite common, often actually also fruitful. &lt;b&gt;With &quot;open-source&quot; there now seems to be a third force&lt;/b&gt; involved in the film making process that could be helpful for everyone - but &lt;b&gt;we have to understand what it can do and what it can not do&lt;/b&gt; (and maybe should not be used for).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here again &lt;a href=&quot;http://indiworks.blogspot.com/2006/11/online-video-getting-paid-open-source.html&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Part 1&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://indiworks.blogspot.com/2006/11/online-video-getting-paid-open-source_23.html&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Part 2&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://indiworks.blogspot.com/2006/11/more-about-open-source-storytelling.html&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Part 3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; of this series about &lt;b&gt;making money with online video, open-source storytelling/film making&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(This entry was also &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/?p=648&quot;&gt;posted&lt;/a&gt; to the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;P2P Foundation&lt;/span&gt; blog.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;tags: &lt;a class=&quot;performancingtags&quot; href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/opensource&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;opensource&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a class=&quot;performancingtags&quot; href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/filmmaking&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;filmmaking&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a class=&quot;performancingtags&quot; href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/contest&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;contest&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a class=&quot;performancingtags&quot; href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/screening&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;screening&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://indiworks.blogspot.com/2006/11/open-source-film-making-contest.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (vsworks)</author><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36310619.post-116439322537713756</guid><pubDate>Fri, 24 Nov 2006 18:21:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2006-11-24T12:00:14.556-08:00</atom:updated><title>More About Open-Source Storytelling, YouTube (&quot;Part 3&quot;)</title><description>While finishing &lt;a href=&quot;http://indiworks.blogspot.com/2006/11/online-video-getting-paid-open-source.html&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Part 1&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://indiworks.blogspot.com/2006/11/online-video-getting-paid-open-source_23.html&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Part 2&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; of &lt;b&gt;Online Video: Getting Paid, Open-Source Storytelling&lt;/b&gt; I realised that I did not mention a couple of things worth mentioning and also just found a couple of interesting links:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;big&gt;Some More Open-Source/Collaborative Movies&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.archive.org/details/panorama_ephemera2004&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Panorama Ephemera&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; by Rick Prelinger (2004, 89:35 min., color and black and white) &quot;is a &lt;b&gt;collage of sequences&lt;/b&gt; drawn from a wide variety of &lt;b&gt;ephemeral&lt;/b&gt; (industrial, advertising, educational and amateur) &lt;b&gt;films&lt;/b&gt;, touring the conflicted landscapes of twentieth-century America. The films&#39; often-skewed visions construct an American history filled with horror and hope, unreeling in familiar and unexpected ways&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is of course Rick Prelinger from the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.archive.org/details/prelinger&quot;&gt;Prelinger Archives&lt;/a&gt; at the Internet Archive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The blog entry &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skynoise.net/2006/07/21/kicking-out-the-pixel-jams/&quot;&gt;Kicking Out The Pixel Jams&lt;/a&gt; (www.skynoise.net) lists a couple of open-source movies that I did not mention:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nothingsostrange.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nothing So Strange&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; by Brian Flemming is a &quot;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;feature-length documentary&lt;/span&gt; about the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;assassination of Bill Gates&lt;/span&gt;, which debuted at Slamdance in January 2002&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source footage is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nothingsostrange.com/open_source/&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nowthemovie.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;now!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, it looks like the project is finished, not all features on the website seem to work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read the above linked blog entry for a few other related projects...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there is of course the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.archive.org/details/opensource_movies&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Open Source Movies&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; section at the Internet Archive where you can upload your own work. This is the &lt;b&gt;only free hosting site for independent movies that I can really recommend&lt;/b&gt;. You need to upload via ftp, but the Archive&#39;s TOS is better than any other one out there (except for Ourmedia which unfortunately is still experiencing technical problems).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of the movies mentioned earlier can also be downloaded via &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.legaltorrents.com/index.htm&quot;&gt;Legaltorrents.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;And two more projects made with some kind of input from a larger crowd:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Blog entry:) &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bravenewfilms.org/wapo_82006.php&quot;&gt;His Fans Greenlight the Project&lt;/a&gt; (www.bravenewfilms.org) &quot;(Jim) Gilliam founded Brave New Films in 2004 along with Robert Greenwald, the documentary producer-director behind projects including &quot;Uncovered: The War on Iraq,&quot; &quot;Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch&#39;s War on Journalism&quot; and his most recent, &quot;Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price.&quot;&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their concept: &quot;Why not get the audience to pay for a movie before it gets made - He calls it &quot;People Powered Film.&quot;&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This of course is a bit like the idea that &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aswarmofangels.com/&quot;&gt;A Swarm of Angels&lt;/a&gt; also has.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snakes_on_a_Plane&quot;&gt;Snakes On A Plane&lt;/a&gt; (en.wikipedia.org): &quot;In response to the internet fan base, New Line Cinema incorporated feedback from online users into its production.&quot; The movie was hyped a lot online, but when it was released in the Summer of 2006 it was not quite as successful as some had hoped...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;b&gt;Finding Out What YouTube Is&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After posting my thoughts about YouTube I found the blog entry &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.henryjenkins.org/2006/11/youtube_and_the_vaudeville_aes.html&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Youtube and the Vaudeville Aesthetic&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (www.henryjenkins.org) that somehow has similar views on what YouTube might be: &quot;Vaudeville was an actor-centered mode of production. There was no director who could build an ensemble piece. Actors chose their own material, refined their own skills, and lived and died entirely on the basis of their ability to connect one on one with the audience. (...)  Similarly, YouTube is a space of individualized expression.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you compare this to what I wrote (in &lt;a href=&quot;http://indiworks.blogspot.com/2006/11/online-video-getting-paid-open-source_23.html&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Part 2&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;) &quot;we could look at YouTube as a dynamic, interactive movie where everyone can view his own version and/or contribute to the &quot;source footage&quot;. And to me this seems not to be so much a democratic process, but more an anarchist-creative collaboration&quot; I think you can see some similarities between those two views.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally some more &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;related &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;links for research:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.personalizemedia.com/&quot;&gt;Personalize Media&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cross-mediaentertainment.com/&quot;&gt;Cross-Media Entertainment&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://writerresponsetheory.org/wordpress/&quot;&gt;WRT: Writer Response Theory&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.storytron.com/&quot;&gt;Storytron - Interactive Storytelling&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also forgot to mention earlier that if you previously linked to or bookmarked the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.p2pfoundation.net/Category:Audiovisual&quot;&gt;Audiovisual P2P Wiki&lt;/a&gt; page that &lt;b&gt;you might need to update your bookmarks&lt;/b&gt;, the URL is slightly different since the P2P Foundation moved to a new host.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;tags: &lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/opensource&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;opensource&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/p2p&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;p2p&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/filmmaking&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;filmmaking&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/collaboration&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;collaboration&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/storytelling&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;storytelling&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/youtube&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt; youtube &lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://indiworks.blogspot.com/2006/11/more-about-open-source-storytelling.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (vsworks)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36310619.post-116430369244190944</guid><pubDate>Thu, 23 Nov 2006 16:59:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2006-11-23T13:48:42.473-08:00</atom:updated><title>Online Video: Getting Paid, Open-Source Storytelling (Part 2 of 2)</title><description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://indiworks.blogspot.com/2006/11/online-video-getting-paid-open-source.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Part 1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (posted yesterday)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• A Good Mix?&lt;br /&gt;• &quot;Getting Paid&quot; Overviews&lt;br /&gt;• &quot;Open-Source&quot; Overview&lt;br /&gt;• Hype Or Real?&lt;br /&gt;• Is YouTube A Dynamic Interactive Movie?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Part 2&lt;/span&gt; (posted today)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Alternatives To &quot;Getting Paid&quot;&lt;br /&gt;• Collaborative Media Works&lt;br /&gt;• Does It Matter…?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Alternatives To &quot;Getting Paid&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;It remains to be seen if and how (and &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;who&lt;/span&gt;) can make money &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;directly&lt;/span&gt; with online video.&lt;/span&gt; At this moment most sites seem to favour ad-based business models. This raises the following questions:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Are we willing to watch (more) ads that pay for online video?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or, as an alternative to an ad-based model:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Are we willing to pay for online video content?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Maybe it will be hard - for &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;anyone&lt;/span&gt; - to make money &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;directly&lt;/span&gt; (with any kind of) online media in the long run - maybe the content will (and should?) be free and money will be made with additional services/products...?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Very interesting to me seem models like the one from &lt;a href=&quot;http://havemoneywillvlog.com/&quot;&gt;Have Money Will Vlog&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;micro donations are raised&lt;/span&gt; for a particular project, the vlogger/film maker only receives the money if the project meets its goal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While every film maker should get paid for his work &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;it makes a big difference if you make a movie because you want to make &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;money&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; with it &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;or because you &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;feel&lt;/span&gt; passionate about a particular subject&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;and&lt;/span&gt; also hope to make money with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And: &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;getting paid&lt;/span&gt; for your work is not the same as &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;selling or licensing&lt;/span&gt; your work&lt;/span&gt;: the one who &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;gets&lt;/span&gt; paid is depending on someone to &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;be&lt;/span&gt; paid, but the one who &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;sells&lt;/span&gt; defines the value of his product and then &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;makes&lt;/span&gt; a deal with the one who buys...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Collaborative Media Works&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While Wikipedia has shown that &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;text based, non-fiction mass collaboration does work&lt;/span&gt;, a true &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;(mass) collaborative film making process - specially for fiction works -  seems less clear&lt;/span&gt; to me: can traditional movies be made this way?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the few solutions I can see for this in the short run is when we redefine what a movie is: then, as mentioned in &lt;a href=&quot;http://indiworks.blogspot.com/2006/11/online-video-getting-paid-open-source.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Part 1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;we could look at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/&quot;&gt;YouTube&lt;/a&gt; as a dynamic, interactive movie where everyone can view his own version and/or contribute to the &quot;source footage&quot;&lt;/span&gt;. And to me this seems &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;not&lt;/span&gt; to be so much a &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;democratic&lt;/span&gt; process, but more an &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;anarchist-creative&lt;/span&gt; collaboration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have ever tried to &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;develop a story&lt;/span&gt; with just one other person you know how hard this can be (and how well it can work if you find the right person). But this is even more difficult if a group of people tries to develop a &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;single&lt;/span&gt; story... And having dozens or even hundreds of people working on &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;one&lt;/span&gt; story - &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;without any limitations&lt;/span&gt; (like there being one person who makes a final &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;decision&lt;/span&gt;, a &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;limited&lt;/span&gt; number of possible &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;choices&lt;/span&gt; for character (sub)plots etc.) seems like a very difficult task to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A real life example: most of us can vote for a political party of their choice, but it would be very inconvenient if millions of people were to try to write &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;one single version&lt;/span&gt; of a national anthem! &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Democracy&lt;/span&gt;, unfortunately, &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;has its limits when it comes to the practical sides of things&lt;/span&gt;. This is why we elect people who &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;take (final) decisions&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another great &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;hindrance for &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;story&lt;/span&gt; mass collaboration is the human ego&lt;/span&gt;: I somehow can imagine that if a large group of Buddhist monks was to develop a screenplay that this could actually work. But for most other people I think it would be very hard to reduce their egos to a level where mass collaborate on &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;one single story&lt;/span&gt; (with no character/plot limitations, no one who takes a final decision) is possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still there are examples where mass collaboration for fiction did - and does - work well: fairy tales, folk songs, urban legends or jokes. The &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Grimm Brothers&lt;/span&gt; only &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;collected&lt;/span&gt; (or &quot;stole&quot;?) stories&lt;/span&gt; that had been &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;told, developed and retold by many people over time&lt;/span&gt;. I think this was a true creative open-source process, maybe even more open-source than it could be today: some of these stories were only &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;told&lt;/span&gt; to one another - the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;source was as free as it could possibly be&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;over time the best version of a story was developed&lt;/span&gt;! (There really is an internal logic to every story - at first it might seem  that there is an infinite number of possible outcomes for a particular event, but once you start working on a story the number of possible solutions becomes smaller and smaller...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So these seem to be the conditions why the Grimm&#39;s Fairy tales could be developed:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;source was completely free&lt;/span&gt; - often it was &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;not &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;even&lt;/span&gt; written down&lt;/span&gt; and you could participate just by listening/retelling it&lt;br /&gt;• it seems like &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;no one claimed a copyright&lt;/span&gt; to a particular story&lt;br /&gt;• the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;process was not ego-driven&lt;/span&gt; (but you could still have &quot;your&quot; version)&lt;br /&gt;• &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;time&lt;/span&gt; was &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;no problem&lt;/span&gt; (no deadline)&lt;br /&gt;• but &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;in the end someone collected it, (re)wrote it (took &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;decisions&lt;/span&gt;) and &quot;branded&quot; it&lt;/span&gt; (&quot;Grimm&#39;s Fairy Tales&quot;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it looks like that &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;good conditions for true mass collaboration on fiction works&lt;/span&gt; are similar to those we find all around us in nature: &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;evolution&lt;/span&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Does It Matter...?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It might sound harsh, but I think that the majority of people will &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;not&lt;/span&gt; care so much if a film is an open-source project, but &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;people will care about a film if they &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;like&lt;/span&gt; it&lt;/span&gt;. (If Firefox was not a good (or great) browser would you still use it just because it is open-source...?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I think the same is true for sampling/remixing: people will &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;not&lt;/span&gt; remix a movie just because it has a &lt;a href=&quot;http://creativecommons.org/&quot;&gt;Creative Commons&lt;/a&gt; license (which many of us so strongly support) that would allow to produce a derivative work: YouTube has shown that &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;if a song &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;needs&lt;/span&gt; to be lip-synched it &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;will&lt;/span&gt; be lip-synched&lt;/span&gt;. And &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;if the latest Harry Potter movie &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;needs&lt;/span&gt; to be recut&lt;/span&gt; to a particular song &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;it &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;will&lt;/span&gt; be&lt;/span&gt; done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;What the open-source film movement needs is a hit&lt;/span&gt;: we need an open-source Harry Potter or Star Wars - &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;probably only then the masses will really start to appreciate the fact that they can remix a movie legally&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also: let&#39;s never forget that &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;a good story&lt;/span&gt; is - and most probably &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;always &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;will&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt; be - the one thing that makes people want to watch a movie (&quot;If it’s not on the page, it’s not on the stage.&quot;)&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Good stories are still written by &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;individual&lt;/span&gt; writers, not by hundreds of people collaborating &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;on one story at the same time&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; (still many can collaborate on &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;different stories&lt;/span&gt; or different versions (maybe even aspects) of one story - and a &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;few&lt;/span&gt; could then make (undemocratic!) &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;decisions&lt;/span&gt; and bring it all together in one story).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think that open-source film making and mass collaboration on fiction works have a great future, but &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;a good story remains vital&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;not&lt;/span&gt; the most democratic process will automatically generate an open-source hit&lt;/span&gt; (the contrary might actually be the outcome).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since we still live in a world restricted by copyright we might have to accept that &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;today the most successful instances where creative mass collaboration happens (YouTube lip-synching, remixes/mash-ups of Hollywood movies) is when people simply &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;ignore&lt;/span&gt; the existing copyright laws and engage in a chaotic and anarchist (or call it &quot;advanced democratic&quot;) creative process&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nature, that came up with so many incredible &quot;inventions&quot;, was &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;only&lt;/span&gt; able to this so well because in nature there are &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;no rights reserved&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;nature just does &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;not&lt;/span&gt; care about copyright&lt;/span&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe millions of (young) &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;people just have to become &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;pirates&quot;&lt;/span&gt; if they want to make 21st century art...? Or maybe there is &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;something wrong with our current copyright laws&lt;/span&gt;...?

The concept is part of a “&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;social opensource experiment&lt;/span&gt;” called the workbook project. It’s a simple concept, the workbook is meant to be spread and edited. Meaning that content creators can add their own info, war stories, advice etc. We’re hoping that the workbook can grow as a resource. We’re &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;building it with an opensource “client side” wiki called tiddlywiki that can be saved to the desktop&lt;/span&gt;, edited and then uploaded again.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;&quot; &gt;Hype Or Real?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking at some of the above examples it becomes clear that &quot;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;open-source&lt;/span&gt;&quot; is becoming a &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;marketing strategy&lt;/span&gt;. On the one one hand this is good for open-source, on the other hand claims like being the first open-source movie to do a particular thing can sometimes sound a bit too self-conscious... Who can honestly say that he or she knows about &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;every&lt;/span&gt; film project on earth? Maybe a couple of years ago there was a small open-source film made in some remote place long before the (mostly English speaking) blogosphere even started talking about open-source film making? Movies were made long before the web went mainstream, the first open-source movie project to do a particular thing maybe just did not have a blog and never got much publicity...?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;human ego&lt;/span&gt; can be quite big, but open-source is a good way to help people overcome their ego. While a project should of course mention that it is &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;one&lt;/span&gt; of the first of its kind, over-hyping a project with claims that are hard to verify does not really seem to be in the open-source spirit but rather a closed-source approach. (&quot;I was here first, it&#39;s mine.&quot;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;&quot; &gt;Is YouTube A Dynamic Interactive Movie?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/&quot;&gt;YouTube&lt;/a&gt; (and almost every other online video sharing site) can be criticised for their Terms of Service Agreement, &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;one could argue that the first and largest community made online movie &quot;ever&quot; is in fact YouTube itself&lt;/span&gt;! You can &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;watch &quot;a scene&quot;&lt;/span&gt; (or sequence), &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;find related &quot;scenes&quot;&lt;/span&gt; via tags (or &quot;related&quot;), &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;upload your own &quot;footage&quot;&lt;/span&gt; and contribute to this &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;dynamic, community made patchwork movie&lt;/span&gt; (fiction &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;and&lt;/span&gt; documentary) that tells a &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;multitude&lt;/span&gt; of stories about our world and its people!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Maybe we need to redefine what a movie is...?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Maybe the YouTube way of doing it &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;is&lt;/span&gt; in fact the long promised &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;interactive&lt;/span&gt; movie...?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Hopefully&lt;/span&gt; all the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&quot;true&quot; open-source projects will also succeed&lt;/span&gt; (a lot of potential has the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.getdemocracy.com/&quot;&gt;Democracy Player&lt;/a&gt;), but we need a &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;reality check&lt;/span&gt; and make sure that &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;open-source film making&lt;/span&gt; is &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;not&lt;/span&gt; just another &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;hype&lt;/span&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Part 2 of this blog entry will be posted tomorrow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For an &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;extensive &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;overview about audio/video D.I.Y. web publishing/finding content&lt;/span&gt;
