Cc-au mailing list

[Jessica Coates <j2.coates AT qut.edu.au>]

Here's a great new CC project. From the website:

'OpenCut is a completely open-source film competition designed to encourage 
people to take professionally shot material and edit it in their own way. As 
there is no "one way" to tell a story, so too can stories benefit from being 
re-edited and re-told from many different vantage points and perspectives.

The winner of OpenCut 1.0 will receive a brand new AJA IO HD from Silverado. 
They will also be recognized as the "editor-of-record" at IMDB and will have 
their cut submitted to multiple film festivals.'


And the whole thing is licensed under a CC Attribution-NonCommercial licence 
- so you can also use the footage for your own projects (as long as they're 
non-commercial).

Registration for their current project, 'Susannah', are now closed. But 
they're planning an OpenCut 2.0. So anyone interested should definitely watch 
this space.
