Deptford.TV workshops Phase II October – December 2006

The Deptford.TV workshops entered phase II. For the first time we started to use the database content directly in the editing suites. We used the commercial software Avid Xpress Pro as well as Final Cut Pro and imported the x.264 (x.264) files. Avid had problems with the importing of the files, they all came out asynchronous, forcing us to export and import the sounds seperately.

The next test will be with http://cinelerra.org embedded in the http://dynebolic.org live cd. Our goal is to have the editing process running on FLOSS software by spring / summer next year!

The films where premiered on the pirate boat (mind-sweeper) together with the presentation of our partners, bitnik’s Download Finished system.

media collective bitnik and sven koenig:

DOWNLOAD-FINISHED ­ MAKE PEER-2-PEER CINEMA!

DOWNLOAD-FINISHED is an assistant to transform and re-publish films from

p2p networks and online archives. found footage becomes rough material

for the transformation machine, translating data structure of the films

onto the surface of the screen. the original pictures dissolve into

pixels and overlap into a second layer, the hidden structure gets

visible. file-sharers are becoming authors through DOWNLOAD-FINISHED and

re-interpret their most beloved films.

it is the premiere of DOWNLOAD-FINISHED.

www.download-finished.com – the art of file-sharing

WARNING, entering of the premises on your own risk: be aware that you

will have to “squeeze” through the entrance gate (but we informed the

police and the owners of the industrial estate, set up a sign

“mindsweeper” and will set you guiding lights to the boat, so that you

get there…)
