Subject: [LAU] Linux Video Users ?
One thing I think video on linux is lacking most is a strong community.
I believe that this is the one thing that could put video on the linux
map.
Would there be any interest for such list? Could this list (LAU) lend a
bit of server-space and gimmick for this project?
I'm an indie filmmaker and am determined to do all of my future projects on linux...
the community is fairly nonexistent as far as I can tell... but I think thats typical with
the filmmaker community itself... indie filmmakers are nowhere near as unified as
musicians when it comes to just 'getting along.'
Though a 'LVU' or 'LFM' (Linux Film Maker) mailing list would be great I
think it would also help to just hang out at the major indie film boards (
indieclub.com ,
indietalk.com ,
cinematography.com,
sanctuary.indiesanctum.com, etc...) and let people
know how you do things as your projects progress. I hang out at the sanctuary but show up
at indieclub occasionally (and am active in my local group) and if I have hard questions I
go to
cinematography.com
I should be starting my first short project to use linux in the next two weeks or so...
waiting for a stand for a seamless paper backdrop to arrive and then casting... yeah...
I'm doing a Mac commercial spoof... its sad ... I know... but it'll be better than
Novells. :)
I hope to be doing muisc videos for indiebands by next spring though... then I need
someone to walk me though cutting HD video or image sequence...because I want to shoot
some 16mm...
