I was at Amsterdam Ibc for the last two days, saw the
Sony/NVidia animation feature movie monday evening, talked with various
people, and there were major electronics players enough, only Analog
Devices shone through absence as far as I though about that.
Everything from broadcast organisations (e.g. BBC research) to
camera manufacturers (I played with a 120kEu wireless HD cam a bit),
from pure electronics manufacturers (TI, Xilinx) to
´workflow´ (aarrgg) and graphics companies, etc.
I was approached by a guy from a content protection company who sell
cards for pay per view and such. I explained all I deal with at the
moment is a .org and that I make Open
Source (or at least thus far: Free) movies, which get seen by
dozens and more people over the internet. Logically I might want to
make a cashbuster Swarzenecker feature film and make sure I get
reveneus, too, yet I could smell ´Open Source is right´ in
the air. I don´t mind if I were in a normal life paying a few
euros to rent a DVD, though internet resources are too expensive to my
taste at the moment, but who is going to make sure prices are right and
piracy stays under control or better put: what will motivate a decent
money structure, and get good (HD ?) movies made ?
