Wikipedia Re-Definition of an Open Content Movie and Valkaama Video Distribution - Making Filmmaking History part 10 of 14
photo credit: thelastminute Thanks for pointing out the 'true' issue. I will change this in the section of the movies as for the definition and the article on wikipedia we have to agree now on one version. Here's mine:
... In order to comply with this definition an Open Source Movie must meet the following conditions:
- The license of the movie and its sources is approved for free cultural works. This is for instance true for the Creative Commons licenses by and by-sa
- The material used in the movie is freely availlable for no more than a reasonable reproduction cost, preferably downloadable via the Internet without charge.
All movies or projects which do not meet these criteria are not completely Open Source. Of course they might claim otherwise because the term Open Source itself is not protected. Please add your remarks Valkaama is not yet on any Video-distribution sites. just a trailer on youtube. yeah... I should do something here... If you want to release Valkaama on your accounts, then it would be just fine with me. In order to do that, you can download the video from the website. good quality: http://www.valkaama.com/media/movie/Valkaama_v2008-10-20(Alpha1).avi medium quality: http://www.valkaama.com/media/movie/Valkaama_v2008-10-20(Alpha1).mov As for the sources. For the moment everyone can request them by sending me a hard drive. (this is also how other people handle it, think of it: 330gb data!) BUT I am trying to build a team (and acutally I already got some ppl) who are helping me distributing them via the filesharing network BitTorrent. This will start in about 2 weeks. I have to send the harddrive from here (I am currentlly in Krakow, Poland) to Germany, in oder that the files get uploaded on an internet server with BitTorrent client. I will do that probably tomorrow... But the postal service takes about 7 days. Your plans about the press release including a definition of open source films are just great. I hope we 2 will agree on an 'official definition'. This is part of a conversation between open source filmmakers Solomon Rothman (Boy Who Never Slept, Jathia's Wager) and Tim Baumann (Valkaama) that begins as a discussion on collaboration and ends with a proposal for defining what an open source movie actually means.
