Re-Vlog :: DIY DAYS PHL - Nina Paley - Nina Sings The Blues

SITA SINGS THE BLUES Distribution Project Report ?If it?s free, how do you make money?? 5 months after the Creative Commons Share Alike release of her animated musical feature Sita Sings the Blues, Nina Paley presents the first round of hard data from the project. Contrary to MPAA propaganda, the more the audience freely shares the film, the more they purchase DVDs, theater admissions, and merchandise; witness the $$ numbers that prove it. Nina Paley is the creator of the animated musical feature film Sita Sings the Blues, which has screened in over 150 film festivals and won over 30 international awards including the Annecy Grand Crystal, The IFFLA Grand Jury Prize, and a Gotham Award. Her adventures in our broken copyright system led her to Copyleft her film, and join QuestionCopyright.org as Artist-in-Residence. She teaches at Parsons School of Design and is a 2006 Guggenheim Fellow. www.sitasingstheblues.com

The17 - Music as we know it is dead; long live music.

Yup.

And for the same reasons, poetry and dance are similarly dead.

A direct result of the digital age, these phoenix-like demises.

Re-Vlog :: WalkingMan :: Net Cinema Poetics

Play Quicktime Version

Guys over @ Taylor Street Studio, Soluble Fish, and Joel Sugarman are making stuff together.

Elegantly done, fellas.

Methinks this was all shot on cell phone.

Video, moving, & mapping for purposes of storytelling.

Streamlined, real-time-to-web, yet long-lasting film making.

This is IT; this is what excites me for development, production and marketing stories.

What kinds of stories can we really 'see' and ' hear' when delivered and taken in from a web site, cell phone, or iPod?

This kind of film making reminds me of Michael Figgis' cutting-edge "Time Code" -- one of my favorite films.

Figgis is a good pianist.

Found Will Leurs' project from his comment over @ one of Ted Hope's blogs that 'reviews' Twitter. I've written about Ted's Twitter Review post earlier.

RE-Vlog :: From Utilikilts

This feature requires installation of the free Flash Player. Click here to install the Flash Player

Daughtershow posted a video of her bagpiping pal recently re-vlogged in this space. Nothing like some morning bagpipes to start the day right.

Sexy, too.

This video is from the place that manufactures a modern-day kilt, known as the 'utilikilt'.

Hoping I copied the embed code from the Utilikilt site properly so it will play here. Fingers crossed...

Re-Vlog :: My Buddy Clark of ZipZapZop.com

ZipZapZop makes me laugh. Again.

This is something that needs to be taught to younger generations along with how to make a grass whistle and other important things.

Who knew?

ZipZap says:

Dancing Caterpillars seem to be a recurring theme here at ZipZapZop… This time, I discover that these little Eastern Tent Caterpillar pests (there were literally thousands upon thousands of them here in May) are quite responsive to sound vibrations. It makes me wonder if perhaps some kind of audio mechanism would keep them away…

Re-vlogging Lawrence Lessig :: THE Idea for the 21st Century

Okay. I tend toward hyperbole, but this is honestly one of the best ideas toward action and change I've heard lately.

Unsurprisingly, this comes from the same fellow who gave us one of the best ideas of the 20th Century: the Creative Commons.

Listen.

Then listen again.

Re-Vlog :: Love Medicine

Ms. Sanders speaks succinctly & softly to wounds and healing through art & consciousness.

Difficult to visualize the body as sacred.

Orgasm as sacred.

Whew.

Working on a video art piece that deals with body image and will post tomorrow.

SPOILER: In the meantime, if you're squicked by gentle, soothing words on the subject of the body, you should not play this fine piece.

Ancient wisdom.

Amy's So Smart

An interview w/Amy Redford @ Sundance.

Her directoral debut, "The Guitar", premiered Friday there and plays throughout this weekend.

Fingers crossed - from inside and behind the camera, it sure felt like it would be an excellent film.

David Leonard and Amy cut it. A movie's frequently made and certainly finished in the cutting room.

The sound edit will have been challenging. Hope they had time & funds to do it right.

The sound department did its level best.

Love in a World of Capitalism :: From PRX

In anticipation of Valentine's Day, an hour contemplating the nature of love in the 21st Century from PRX.

Wish they'd set their works 'free' over there at PRX, but no, you'll have to go to their page and play it there.

Realize I'm going to give this a second listen 'cause I've been thinking about love as tool for a while. Wondering what love might be if left to its own devices.

It's easy to see why 'love' and commitment exist.

Less easy to see why and how those things might exist differently.

Mentioned in the podcast is this Gregory Corso poem "Marriage". From the end of that poem:

O but what about love? I forget love
not that I am incapable of love
It's just that I see love as odd as wearing shoes-
I never wanted to marry a girl who was like my mother
And Ingrid Bergman was always impossible
And there's maybe a girl now but she's already married
And I don't like men and-
But there's got to be somebody!
Because what if I'm 60 years old and not married,
all alone in a furnished room with pee stains on my underwear
and everybody else is married! All the universe married but me!

Ah, yet well I know that were a woman possible as I am possible
then marriage would be possible-
Like SHE in her lonely alien gaud waiting her Egyptian lover
so i wait-bereft of 2,000 years and the bath of life.

Frank Langella for Oscar :: Starting Out in the Evening

Frank Langella and "Starting Out in the Evening" will be in Boston this Sunday, January 20, 2007.

For my Boston friends.

If you're interested in acting, to hear Frank speak on the subject as he is honored by the Boston Society of Film Critics who awarded him Best Actor for 2007 should prove enlightening.

Enclosed is an interview with Mr. Langella from the American Theater Wing, founder of the Tony Awards, on the subject of his Tony Award-winning Broadway role as Nixon in "Frost/Nixon", a role he played while simultaneously filming "Starting Out in the Evening".

Vote for Frank for the Oscar.

Revisiting Road Node 101 Autumn 2005

Click To Play

With the return of Tim D to the vlogosphere and reconnecting with Margot Lynch through Facebook and MySpace, revisit Autumn 2005 travels.

Spent two months in D's Saratoga Springs working with Margot. That film project was one of those seminal work events you KNOW will be with you as part of the Big Slide Show in the end.

"The Timeless" tune in WGA strike re-run here is one that Margot played for the sound department one day at lunch when Neil (boom) and I broke out the cart for recording sound effects.

Margot sets my brain on fire.

Great to have you both back in my life.

Here's the recording for download in .mp3 There's a better-produced recording of the tune on Margot's Myspace page. Check it out.
