Matze hat etwas angesprochen, dass dem gesamten Kernteam irgendwie noch unangenehm konfus ist: die konkrete Handhabung der "alternativen" Sounddesigns.

Matzes Anliegen: wir brauchen eine klare Trennung von Versionen des Films. Sowohl auf Bildseite, als auch auf Tonseite. Aus rechtlichen Gründen (Was, wenn ein Sounddesigner, der dazustösst, geklaute Samples nutzt?) als auch aus persönlichen Gründen (Was, wenn ein Beteiliger des Kernteams nicht mit einer speziellen Vertonung in Zusammenhang gebracht werden will?)

Sachtler products are well known among film professionals. On the occasion of their 50 years anniversary they talked to 4 filmmakers about their personal views on the future of film. I was lucky to represent VEB FILM Leipzig as an Pioneer of Open Source.
The article will appear in an anniversary magazine on the NAB - lets see if we get feedback. I was hoping for something like this: "Hello? Mr. Kluge, VEB FILM Leipzig? We would like to pay for your next movie. Yes, we won't influence any creative decisions ... no, of course not ... the story is totally up to you. Sure! You are free to release under free licenses ... We thought about a $5 mio budget? You need 7? All right then. I'll send the check tomorrow."

Again, this year, the re:publica was well worth the trip to Berlin. I met Peter of The Pirate Bay and found out, that he was a member of a cracking group, that cracked a C64 game, that I developed in the 90s =o) Or lets call it an intro-link, since there was no copy protection to remove.
An editor from a german public broadcaster was attending my lecture and did a quick interview afterwards. For another TV channel we made a fast motion recording with me standing in front of a subway entrance for a piece on filesharing. Lets see how it turns out.
My panel discussion on Creative Commons was fun, too. So I guess I'll be there next year again.

We need a trailer for The Last Drug until Tuesday. And we have two suggestions (rough cut):

The re:publica is a 3 days conference in Berlin where people from the German speaking Internet as well as a few international Digital Activists meet for a bunch of lectures, panel discussions, workshops and free beer :D
It's well worth the trip, even if you have to fly in, as I do. I'll be giving a speech and taking part on a panel on Saturday, where there is a special focus on internet video.
The guys from Miro Open Source TV will be there, too, by the way, and I'm sure we will have a nice idea how to get Miro-lovers involved in The Last Drug, once it's out.
