90 Second Challenge

We did it! A 90 second film!

Bittorrent

There is a BitTorrent of it available: Bristol_Wireless_90_Second_Film.torrent

It is 23MB and is a '.avi' file (using Xvid and MP3) at DV resolution (720x576) and very good quality. You can have a look at the progress of the torrent at http://strummer.bristolwireless.net:7171/ and http://strummer.bristolwireless.net .

Http

There is a normal http download available: bw_90_sec_challenge.mp4

It is 4MB and is a '.mp4' file (using MPEG4 and AAC), low resolution (320x240) and low quality but still watchable. You are free to distribute this version too, but only if you make clear to person recieving it the license it is distributed under. You must pass on at least the link to the license code which is at http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/2.5/ and the say that the work is to be Attributed to Bristol Wireless Community Co-operative Ltd.

Playing It

If you have trouble playing the either file, you might want to try VLC from http://www.videolan.org/

The old version of this page...

Our challenge, which we have chosen to accept, is to make a piece of film, a work of art if you will. It needs to be 90 seconds long.

Our current plan is to do this using open source software, and maybe to make the film about the open source movement itself, and Bristol Wireless' involvement.

We are working in collaboration with Fluffy Logic for this, with them being the creative side of the project and us being a business. We have got funding for the creative part from Art and Business and will provide the other £500 ourselves in the form of hard graft.

There is also a 90 Second Film Challenge project progress page.

Fluffy Server

It has been suggested that we help to install open source video software on the new server at the Fluffy offices. This would be a part of the work towards our £500 contribution.
