Editing the documentary
02/10/2004 08:08 PMI've returned from filming in Colombia and now I have 22 tapes
(about 16 hours) of video to edit.
The first step is to get an idea of what you have. I fast forwarded
through most of the tapes, and used my digital camera to make
screenshots of the TV. I then printed out the screenshots (using
Windows XP's printing wizard makes it very easy) per scene. I laid out
all the scenes to have an easy way of discussing them and getting an
overview. Think of it as a high-level sitemap.
Next I will have to watch all 16 hours and make a detailed log: at
this timestamp, a man with donkey passes. This timestamp, the
interviewee talks about X. I expect this to take 2 weeks, I'll report
back. And yes, it's like a content inventory. Yey.

I created a table in Word. The first column has the timecode
(0:25:41), the second the scene ("plane"), the third details ("old man

the comments for 1 out of every 5 rows, more or less. A 1 hour tape
turns into about 2 pages in Word. I just run the video on the TV and

'9/11': Just the facts?. The wise French director Godard once
said, "The way to criticize a film is to make another film." That
there is not a pro-Bush documentary available right now I am powerless
to explain. Surely, however, the Republican National Convention will
open with such a documentary, which will position Bush comfortably
between Ronald Reagan and God. The Democratic convention will have a
wondrous film about John Kerry. Anyone who thinks one of these
documentaries is "presenting facts objectively without editorializing"
should look at the other one.

06/05/2005 11:40 PMJason Scott has created a five plus hour documentary series
on Bulletin Board Systems. Prior to the commercial Internet local
BBSes were "the net" for anyone without an Internet connection,
typically only provided by major universities and research
institutions. In short, BBSes are where many long time net denizens
cut their electronic media teeth (including me in the mid to late
1980s) and BBS culture was an important input into today's commercial
Internet culture (BBS technology however has almost entirely been
superseded).
I heard awhile ago that this documentary was in production and I've
been eagerly awaiting its release. I'm now thrilled to learn that 1)
it has been released, 2) under a Creative Commons license, 3) under a
liberal Creative Commons license (Attribution-Shar

on how to make a great product and why he chose to CC license his
great product.

The

and unity mixed with sadness, anger, and insecurity are common themes
expressed in this online presentation of almost 200 audio and video
interviews, 45 graphic items, and 21 written narratives. The day after
the attacks, the American Folklife Center called upon the nation’s
folklorists and ethnographers to collect, record, and document
America’s reaction. A sampling of the material collected through
this effort was used to create the September 11, 2001, Documentary
Project. This collection captures the voices of a diverse ethnic,
socioeconomic, and political cross-section of America during trying
times and serves as a historical and cultural resource for future
generations. This has been added to

Cory Doctorow:
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Zed show has done a segment on
my pal
Roger Wood, the mad
assemblage clockmaker.
Roger Wood creates with time in mind. Yet even though the clock can be
a consistent element of his work, it's often secondary to its
creation. Whether it's a curious timepiece or a unique assemblage,
Wood thrives on working with an immeasurable array of findings from
the tarnished and forgotten to the odd or intriquing. He is a devoted
collector of usual and unusual objects with one thing in common, a
history.
The source of his inspiration lies in the hundreds of curiously
labelled drawers and boxes brimming with artifacts of all description
that line the shelves of his Toronto studio. Wood orchestrates an
arrangement from his myriad of treasures until the precise moment that
it feels right. Then he quickly glues them all down so they can't
escape.
Playful, wondrous timepieces emerge that take flight on cherubic
wings, float and sway on fine wires, or appear frozen mid-explosion
with flying springs and cogs that bounce at the touch.

Documentary filmmakers get screwed by

Documentary filmmakers get screwed by
copyright clearance
12/30/2004 04:48 PMCory Doctorow:
Thomas sez, "Untold Stories: Creative Consequences of the Rights
Clearance Culture for Documentary Filmmakers: A pair of researchers
documented increasing barriers to documentary film production caused
by the high cost of obtaining rights clearances from IP holders."
The study explores the implications of the current terms of rights
acquisition on the creative process of documentary filmmaking in
today's marketplace, and from them makes recommendations to lower
costs and promote creativity. It focuses on the lived experience of
independent documentary filmmakers who work primarily within a
broadcast environment (sometimes with a theatrical "window"), in
coping with the creative challenges created by acquiring and granting
rights. Click here to read Untold Stories.
Independent documentary filmmakers were selected because their work
regularly requires them to interact with a wide variety of rights
holders, from archives for photographs and stock footage to musical
performers to other filmmakers. This is especially clear when it is a
historical documentary or one that comments on commercial popular
culture, but it is an issue for most documentary filmmakers, no matter
what the subject matter. When a trademark appears on a baseball cap,
or a subject happens to be watching television, or a radio in the
background plays a popular song, or a subject sings "Happy Birthday,"
rights clearance becomes a professional and creative challenge.

Bit Torrent question
Bit Torrent question
04/09/2004 10:30 PMBit
Torrent and the ability to download everything in one click (is this
the end of Direct TV, Tivo and the music business?!).
Used BitTorrent a little bit when it first came out and was a bit
underwhelmed. It didn’t work, there weren’t a lot of
places to find files, etc.
I decided to take another look at it when a designer friend of mine
was telling me that he has the latest version of every single piece of
design software on his Mac compliments of bit torrent (yes, I know
it’s wrong… not the point I’m trying to make, the point
is coming :-).
Part I: I installed bit torrent and immediately
noticed an amazing new trend (prob. not new to all of you) of people
posting dozens of albums in one RAR file for download. Huge file sizes
in the 500 to 4,000 meg size range. The last season of seven seasons
of Southpark, every Nirvanna album and here is another file with every
Howard Stern radio show from March in one file.
In one click you grab one really well organized, clean and deep
sets of files—scary.
Part II: A couple of month ago I got the Gateway
Connected DVD player. For $195 it connects via WiFi to my desktop and
I can hit the My Music or My Videos button on the remote control and
pull up those directories on my hard drive (in the other room).
Part III: Today I moved into my new apartment in
Santa Monica and was faced with the standard $100 month cable/dish
bill and I’m thinking “dang, I only watch less then a half
dozen TV shows and they are all here on bit torrent… maybe I
should save the $1,200 a year and just download the shows and watch
them via my Gateway Connected DVD player?”
The Point/Question: How soon before you’ll be
able-with one click-download every prime-time TV show or last
year’s top 500 CDs in one click?!
(Note: This is not a trick question, I have yet to find a file
containing that much content—however, I did find a file with last
weeks top 100 singles that someone put together in one nice
package).

06/21/2004 07:41 AMBit Torrent : An Analysis
Bit Torrent : An Analysis
12/19/2004 03:10 PMHardy news site,
The Register, recently published a
detailed analysis of the file sharing protocol
Bit
Torrent. Bit Torrent has received attention in the main stream
news after reports that it was carrying as much as 50% of all peer 2
peer (p2p) traffic, which in tern amounted to a massive 30% of all the
traffic on the internet. The paper, by Dr. Johan Pouwelse, examines
the protocol and looks especially at one of the largest bit-torrent
hubs, Suprnova.org. He examines how just 20 moderators solve the
problem of fake files, something that plagues the traditional file
sharing networks like Kazaa.
Dr Powelse notes that the major problems facing hubs like suprnova are
fakes and maintaining hub availability. The availability of files on
bit torrent is based on a centralised system; without it, the network
fails as users cannot access the trackers. Decentralising bit torrent
has already begun - Suprnova have started a project called "
Exeem" which apparently has 5,000 beta
testers trialling it, and has an ultimate aim of taking the best of
Kazaa (a decentralised network) and merging it with Bit Torrent.
Decentralisation removes the issue of poor availability at the tracker
end, yet0 it also provides more scope for fake files and a reduction
in data integrity at the user end.
The paper concludes that bit-torrent needs to evolve to create
incentives to users to seed files. Bit-torrent as a protocol is a
system that’s here to stay; it enjoys more and more usage from more
main stream content providers. Yes, there is a lot of illegitimate use
of the protocol, but unlike Kazaa, these users should not be allowed
to over shadow the usefulness to legitimate users of the bit torrent
protocol.
[Update] Since this article was published, Suprnova has
shutdown as a hub for torrents. Although this cannot be confirmed, the
shutdown is very likely related to legal action from the
Hollywood against tracker
websites; earlier in the week many other sites were taken down.
The effectiveness of the takedowns could be massive; the paper below
notes that when on the Suprnova mirrors went offline during their
monitoring period, they saw a massive reduction in the number of users
downloading files through the site.

Xeni Jardin:
Mark Pesce rants about
the recent shutdowns of BitTorrent supersites Suprnova.org and
TorrentBits.com.
Hey, Hollywood! Can you feel the future slipping through your fingers?
Do you understand how badly you've screwed up? You took a perfectly
serviceable situation - a nice, centralized system for the
distribution
of media, and, through your own greed and shortsightedness, are giving
birth to a system of digital distribution that you'll never, ever be
able to defeat. In your avarice and arrogance you ignored the obvious:
you should have cut a deal with SuprNova.org. In partnership you could
have found a way to manage the disruptive change that's already well
underway. Instead, you have repeated the mistakes made by the
recording
industry, chapter and verse. And thus you have spelled your own doom.
It's said that the best sequels are just like the original, only
bigger
and louder. Ladies and gentlemen, prepare yourselves for one hell of a
crash. This baby is now fully out of control.
