    Sony, Fox and Universal Found Torrenting

    Do as we say, not as we do seems to be the lesson here. IP addresses from several content creation companies such as Sony, Fox and Universal have been caught redhanded torrenting files. Of course they are claiming the addresses were "spoofed". Nothing like being caught doing what you don't want people doing.

    Everything is a Remix Part 3

    Inline Image Kirby Ferguson has released the third part in his exploration into media remixes, entitled (wait for it....) Everything is a Remix Part 3. Again, while it's not necessarily a fanedit, it definitely shows the power of editing and the creative process of taking that which is old and making it new.

    "The act of creation is surrounded by a fog of myths. Myths that creativity comes via inspiration. That original creations break the mold, that they’re the products of geniuses, and appear as quickly as electricity can heat a filament. But creativity isn’t magic: it happens by applying ordinary tools of thought to existing materials.

    And the soil from which we grow our creations is something we scorn and misunderstand, even though it gives us so much… and that’s copying. Put simply, copying is how we learn. We can’t introduce anything new until we’re fluent in the language of our domain, and we do that through emulation.

    For instance, all artists spend their formative years producing derivative work. Bob Dylan’s first album contained eleven cover songs. Richard Pryor began his stand-up career doing a not-very-good imitation of Bill Cosby. And Hunter S. Thompson re-typed The Great Gatsby just to get the feel of writing a great novel.. "

    Inline ImageWith the release of Final Cut Pro X, Apple discontinued their studio suite touting the advantages of the new NLE. Unfortunately, the software was half baked that result in a huge outcry.

    In an unusual move by Apple, they have begun selling Final Cut Studio again. The price is still the same at $999, $700 more than Final Cut Pro X, but it does come with additional software including DVD Studio Pro, Motion, Compressor and Soundtrack Pro. The downside is you have to call Apple directly to order the suite, as their site does not list it at all.

    FanEdit.org Logo makes final cut of The People vs George Lucas

    The People vs George Lucas     is doing a theatrical run before the DVD release, so saw the local screening and was pleasantly surprised to see the 'FanEdit.org' logo make an appearance as they discuss the fan edit phenomenon.

    One of the segments of the film focuses on fan edits, starting with The Phantom Edit. After interviewing one of the early The Phantom Menace editors, the segment interviews some other early SW editors, then progresses to some of the currents: Adywan, Jambe Davdar and The Man Behind the Mask (TMBTM).

    Adywan is interviewed about the death threats he's received (but they don't explain why his edit is drawing such attention.) Jambe's Building Empire logo is on screen, and after some twittering it's been confirmed that that is his voice talking over it.

    But for most of the segment TMBTM is interviewed and they discuss the work involved in his Silent Editions. Recoloring, FPS revision, cropping etc. In the middle of all this, they explain how these SW edits are part of a larger phenomenon, and that's when the old FanEdit.org logo scrolls across the screen.



    So with the movie showing in theaters, out comes the reviews and this one you all might find humorous over at Huffington Post.

    Adywan's ESB:R Cited in Political Blog

    Inline ImageI think this may be a fanedit first. The ion cannon shot from Adywan's The Empire Strikes Back: Revisited has been used to illustrate a blog post on the political site Crooks and Liars.

    I don't know whether this was simply the first that showed up on a YouTube search or whether it was an intentional choice by the author of the post to use a "hacked" version of ESB.

    Either way, very interesting to see that Adywan's work is now being cited outside fanediting circles.
