Net Neutrality Movie

Picture 3.jpg

Timed to coincide with the Netpublics conference at Annenberg Centre this weekend, a group of my colleagues in the Netpublics research group have produced this little peice of near future prophesy, which, in the tradition of EPIC 2014, looks back on the current hot topic of Net Neutrality from the POV of 2017, envisioning a scenario in which Congress rules against the Telcos. This is the first in a series of 3 peices conceived of by Wally Baer, Francois Bar, Shahram Ghandeharizadeh, Fernando Ordonez, voiced by Todd Richmond with help from Aram Sinnreich.

Thanks Marc,

This is the first time I do this (using my kid's Mac and iMovie), and I found the process amazingly cumbersome. This is basically only a few Mb of jpegs and an mp3 track, with some instructions on how/when to pan, fade in and out. Yet iMovie
insists on producing this frame by frame as if it had to be burned on
film. So it takes forever to render, and you end up with a humongous file (1.28Gb for the one that conserves the original jpegs' quality.) There's got to be a better way...

if you're just fading and panning still images, Flash is probably a better choice. Then you'll end up with a comparatively small file to distribute on the net and you could export it into a quicktime to burn onto a DVD.

Thanks Aaron, I'll give that a try.
