The Open Source Movie

This video was compressed with Quicktime Pro h.264, 30fps de-interlaced, 427*240, limited to 700 mb/s. The audio settings are AAC compression, 44.1 khz, 128 kb/s.

The whole thing was uploaded to Blip TV, where it was flash encoded. We think this looks pretty good.

For consistency, we suggest that contributors to the open source movie aim to emulate this look. If you don’t have access to the h.264 plugin you may use something else that works. Do try to shoot widescreen (16*9), and match our dimentions: 427*240.

We highly encourage you to share your scenes using Blip TV. It will make it easy for me to add scenes to these pages and to create a consistent look and feel. Blip TV supports the open source concept and feels like a natural fit to us.

We will elaborate more on the concept in the upcoming days. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Michael: brilliantmovies@gmail.com
