Travis... .did you do that <specially> as a result of recent events here... or was this something you produced a while back?

Very good!!

Very funny - thanks!

You will never make lots of money with this.

Need more pan/crop and 3-D chrome lettering.

Very funny. Isn't Sonic Fire great for music? Where did the clips come from? A clip library?

Of course we all assume this in On Topic since it was edited in Vegas!

Great stuff!

Hi Liam...

>...did you do that <specially> as a result of recent events here... or was this something you produced a while back?<

Slow week...

...and I need to procrastinate instead of work on the taxes, and other less-than-fun stuff.

-Travis

Great stuff, kudos ! And theforce, great reply. =)

Hi Scott

>Isn't Sonic Fire great for music? <

No, licensed library music - I think the one I used was from Music Bakery.

>Where did the clips come from?<

From various public domain sources, including those $4.99 DVDs from the supermarket, and from the Prelinger Archives (www.archive.org).

Although the video material is in Public Domain, use of the Prelinger Archives is for nonprofit use only.

(My girlfriend and someone else in this thread both pointed out that I'm unlikely to make a profit from this work.)

>Great stuff!<

Thanks,

-Travis

WHERE'S MOMMY???
The Forum ate her.

ttravis, I've long been a fan of the archives and used quite a bit of footage from there for the " Ryan Desiato - Make Believe " music vid. I did quite a bit of digging on their site before using the footage and found nothing about " use of the Prelinger Archives is for nonprofit use only. " I'd like to know where you saw that. What I found was:

"Are there restrictions on the use of the Prelinger Films?

The Prelinger movies are open and available to everyone without charges or fees. You are warmly encouraged to access, download, use, and reproduce these films in whole or part, in any medium or market throughout the world, for any purpose whatsoever. We would appreciate attribution or credit whenever possible, but do not require it."

Did you see something that I didn't ?

Hi Ray.

When I went to the "Terms, Privacy Copyright" link on Archive.org's Prelinger Archive page, it brought up a page stating "Access to the Archive’s Collections is provided at no cost to you and is granted for scholarship and research purposes only...".

This apparently applies to the entire collection in "archive.org". The Prelinger listings do state that material is in "Public Domain".

I'm no expert on the subject. I haven't done much exploring through the archive, or researched their info on licensing their material, etc. So I would guess your information/opinions on the subject would be at least as good as mine. It seems to me that material identified as being in the public domain would be unlikely to require any kind of permission. (?!)

Thanks,

Travis

still laughing...thanx for making my day.

If something is truly in the public domain then it's free for anyone to do what they want with. Plenty of businesses make money selling material that is in the public domain, much of what you find in the stores as cheap DVDs is material that's in the public domain, much of it material that was under the old copyright laws and the copyright either wasn't or couldn't be renewed. Before you race off into some new venture though you need to be extremely careful. In many cases although the copyright to the movie may have expired the rights to music used in it haven't. For this reason those who I know that are in this business do pay to have everything carefully checked by specialists in the field.

Travis when you download these clips are you downloading them as MPEGS?
Thanks Jimmy
BTW great voice!

I love it I love it I love it. Thanks for making my weekend better! Excellent voice over too.

ttravis, found the answer. Just took me awhile to refind what I saw before:

" Rick Prelinger and The Internet Archive hereby offer these public domain films from Prelinger Archives to all for free downloading and reuse.

You are warmly encouraged to download, use and reproduce these films in whole or in part, in any medium or market throughout the world. You are also warmly encouraged to share, exchange, redistribute, transfer and copy these films, and especially encouraged to do so for free.

Arrghhhh! Just seen it! . . .Hysterically funny . . especially after the last 2 weeks . . . Very well put together.

Nah, you aren't procrastinating you are investing in your skills base - yes? . . . Creatives need this space to ruminate and formulate over their work. The Formulator!

Superb video . .just superb!

Grazie

Please, no 'ruminating' here, that's for another forum.
