[videoblogging] Open Source Cinema: vloggers needed!
Record a videoblog karaoke mashup of the RIAA to the tune of YMCA!! Hello Videobloggers! Sorry if this shows up twice - my posts from Gmail never seem to show up. My name is Brett Gaylor - I've been a member of this community list since 2005 - it has helped me enormously as a videoblogger, filmmaker and activist. I've had a chance to meet some of you in person at Vloggercon last year, when I presented a project called Homeless Nation that I helped create here in Canada. I'm writing now in regards to an other project - it's called Open Source Cinema. It's a web and documentary project I've actually been working on for over 4 years - one of those projects that sits on the backburner till its ready - which is now. And its a project that needs you to get made! Open Source Cinema is the web platform for the creation of a feature documentary film about Copyright titled Basement Tapes. Through the film, I'm examining how our concepts of intellectual property have been radically altered by the Internet. The film will use music as a lens to examine the greater issues of gene patenting, bio-piracy, medicine, and the ownership of culture. Its also going to be a lot of fun - I'm filming with Negativland, GirlTalk, The Freelance Hellraiser, DJ Food, John Oswald, Mark Viddler, and Lawrence Lessig among many others. This film is open source - and thats why I created OpenSourceCinema.org to help make it. Footage I shoot during the production of the film will be released under a Creative Commons license on the site - and I'm asking for key remixes to be created by participants like yourselves. I've created several requests for videos to be created around key topics - using footage I've shot, your own, or footage found online. http://www.opensourcecinema.org/create As well, the project has a wiki that will serve as its script. I've just finished off the first draft, and I'm keen to see who's willing to be bold - add their own suggestions, call bullshit, and ruthlessly edit. http://www.opensourcecinema.org/wikifilm And finally - I'm looking for videoblogs from creators like you. I want your opinions on the issue, as raw or refined as you see fit. My first challenge is in acknowledgment of March being Boycott The RIAA Month: The RIAA theme song by the New York Times' David Pogue. I've started the first karaoke version - you're next! http://www.opensourcecinema.org/riaa Know what? They’re a lawsuit machine. They say so what If you’re only thirteen? And you know what? They were equally mean To an 80-year-old grandma! You’ve just been sued by the R.I.A.A.! You’ve just been sued by the R.I.A.A.! Their attorneys say, you committed a crime, And there’d better not be a next time! With videoblogging week coming up - I'm hoping some of you might use this as one of your days entries! Stealing is, after all, a deadly sin. To see what's going on - http://www.opensourcecinema.org - there are tons of videos and clues and opportunities for collaboration. The film is going to be released in 2008 - online, on TV, and in theatres as well. I'm blessed with a co-production with the National Film Board of Canada (www.nfb.ca), which is Canada's cultural film agency. They're excited to see the film spread as far and wide as possible.
