We have 350 hours of footage in 11 languages from 6 nations about why FOSS is important for the world, and how the example of sharing will spread from FOSS to other areas of human life, such as music, movies, government, and even sex and other areas of life. We have interviewed some of the top politicians, business people, journalists, and software developers in the world pertaining to FOSS. Our cast list is here: http://www.digitaltippingpoint.com/?q=node/8 We have filmed many dignitaries such as Christian Ude (the Mayor of Munich), Hermann-Josef Pelgrim (the Mayor of Schwaebisch Hall), Gilberto Gil (the Culture Minister of Brazil), and Luiz Millan Vazquez de Miguel, (the Extremaduran Minister of Science, Education). The theme of our film is that Free Open Source Software (FOSS) will help foster an explosion of literacy and creativity globally. As far as I know, our film is the first feature length documentary about FOSS to be built using all FOSS tools, on-line, out of fully forkable footage released under a Creative Commons Attribute-ShareAlike license on the Internet Archive. Please correct me if I am not correct about this, because there are obviously lots of great films being produced by people here on this list and elsewhere. We have 54 hours so far loaded onto the Internet Archive's Digital Tipping Point Video Collection. You can see our raw video here: http://www.archive.org/details.php?identifier=digitaltippingpoint That footage is raw footage, and will need to be re-rendered before it is used in any final project. It is also much more poorly lighted than you are used to, and the audio is also only on one channel, to reduce overhead. As I mentioned, we have been to 6 nations and 3 continents on a shoe string budget, and so we didn't have the resources to drag lighting equipment along. We shot everything with a Sony PD-170, which is a decent pro-sumer piece of equipment. Our keyword search index page is located below. It is the place to go to find specific persons or themes for our footage. The Internet Archive is currently changing its search software, and so the index might not be operational again until Friday, December 7, 2007. Here is the index page nonetheless: http:// tinyurl.com/yluwoc <http://tinyurl.com/yluwoc> People will probably need the raw .dv footage, and I am willing to discuss how it might be possible for us to make that available to everyone. > I proposed to make about six shorts each ~10 minutes with same social > important theme to represent this theme in different people's vision > from different societies. This is exactly what we are hoping to do with the Digital Tipping Point film.

This kind of collaboration is exactly what we are trying to accomplish with the Digital Tipping Point. Thanks for starting this thread, IL'Dar. -- Christian Einfeldt, Producer, The Digital Tipping Point
