any sounds people here make any libraries of sounds to be used for games?

by Romy Ilano

I'm working on a small SudoRoom game. Are there any sound libraries on the server / are there any sounds that anyone at SudoRoom has made that could be used in a small educational game? If it's on the SudoRoom server, can I easily access this from my home while I'm not at the space? [I'm currently disabled and unable to get there physically] ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

It would be great to e-mail everyone. Feel free to share my e-mail and number (215-971-0837) in the communication so anyone that wants to be interviewed, has ideas, or specifically doesn't want to be filmed can contact me. I'll create an account later today as well. I'm thinking Wednesday and Thursday will be the main days we come by and interview and film with tomorrow and Friday being possible b-roll days (days I just show up with a camera and film some of the behind the scenes activities). The things we want to focus on are: 1) What is the impact of declining freedom of communication? 2) How is Sudo working to improve things? (especially the mesh network) Thanks again, see you tomorrow or Wednesday. - -bunker On Sun, Jan 19, 2014 at 8:18 PM, Jenny Ryan <jenny(a)thepyre.org> wrote: > On Fri 17 Jan 2014 03:47:45 PM PST, Bunker Films wrote: >> OpenPGP: *Parts of the message have NOT been signed or >> encrypted* > >> Hi Jenny, > >> I responded to the wiki you made by saying "CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0 > International" >> as the type of creative commons the director is looking at.

Open source documentary

by Noemie Serfaty

Hello sudo-ers Let me introduce myself, although some of you know me already. My name is Noémie, I'm French - among other things. I discovered sudo-room last September. It was the first time I set foot in a hackerspace, and it kind of blew my mind. At sudo room, I discovered the concept of open source, a concept I didn't really know till then. That, together with a lot of really great encounters and conversations, kind of changed things for me, and made me realize that even in what I do … [View More]in life (films), I can do things completely differently. Up to now the film industry has been very hierarchical, in many different ways, and it always made me uncomfortable. Only recently did I understand that if I sense that something’s not fair, I can actually do something about it. That was an empowering realization. So I've been playing with the idea of making an open source documentary film at/about sudo room. Before I go any further, I would just like to say that I saw you're trying to agree on a sort of chart about the conditions under which you'd be willing to have people film at sudo room, and it all seems very reasonable to me. I'd like to expose you my idea, for you to tell me what you think, and also, if anyone among you would like to participate. I’m hoping that (at least some of) the ones who will be in the film will also participate in the making of the film. The project would probably be scattered over a few months, so that it doesn't feel heavy, but also so that there is time to develop a genuine narrative, and to follow one or a few projects that could constitute the backbone of a story. The question I've been fiddling with is the following: how to make it open source? And beyond just putting the footage under CC license and leaving it available somewhere on the internet, how to make it an exciting experiment, an opportunity to create new processes in film making that are non hierarchical and more participative? To me the question is also a pragmatic one: how can this participative process allow to create compelling films with a vision, films that people actually want to watch, beyond the open source community? The idea is to develop a sort of github for editing movies in a collaborative way, so that as the film is being shot and made, there is a tool online that allows to do things together: - rate, annotate, underline the footage or parts of it, organize it - upload videos, music, etc. - edit sequences. - fork the project to create a different timeline and a different movie. This tool would be free of access and available not only to the people involved in the project but to anyone, and hopefully will generate a cool community of users who want to be empowered film viewers *and* makers. To me it's the continuation of genius director Chris Marker's work with the Medvedkin Groups in the 60's. * (see below if you want to know more about it!). I've been talking about the possibility of building this tool with a really great and talented hacker that some of you know, Robert M Ochshorn. He's already made some great advancement on the future of video (two works of his: http://interlace.videovortex9.net also check http://montageinterdit.net) and he'd be excited to continue with this project. I’m excited too actually! I think it could change the whole idea of how to make films, and what it is to be a spectator, and what is a truly participative movie... So I’m offering to do an experiment, and I think sudo room would definitely be the best place to do it, not only because of all places, it is the one where I would want to experiment in a fun way. Also because I envision a really good, touching, fun and awakening movie... hopefully more than one movie!! I hope that after the 1.0 movie is released, it is only the beginning of an adventure consisting in hacking the movie. Making a different version of it, maybe more than one. I'll be in Oakland starting from February and I'm thinking of spending some time at sudo - probably for other projects as well. I'd like to take this time to think of how to do it, what story (ies) to tell, talk about the project to whomever among you is interested in participating in it, and see more concretely how it could be done in a participative way, but also with a vision, and a unity, so that it actually has a reach. I wrote this email today because I’d like everyone to know about it, and open a discussion that I hope will mostly take place in real life when I’ll be here in February rather than on this email list, although I would be happy to already get some feedback, questions, advice or ideas that you think are relevant at this stage… Thank you! A bientôt :) Noémie * Chris Marker went to film the factory strikes in Besancon; and when he showed his film to the workers, they said that he’s completely incompetent, that it does not represent their point of view at all, that this director from Paris is just like the bosses that exploit them. Chris Marker agreed that the film was filmed from his point of view, and created with the workers the Medevkin groups. He shared with them the material, the means and the knowhow to create their own movies, and helped them to re-edit his own footage. Some of the films of the Medvedkin groups are amazing. -- Noémie Serfaty 108 rue du Faubourg du Temple 75011 Paris Tel: 06 27 76 88 84 Tel: 01 71 50 51 82 noemieserfaty(a)gmail.com [View Less]
