ZeMarmot, this animated film in progress that TV5MONDE is echoed there is little in his 64 daily, is an amazing project by many aspects since it is entirely created with free design software , animation and audio processing. The soundtrack itself is produced by musicians recording studio with free software, and even partially equipped with free computer equipment (OpenHardware, the equivalent of free software within the hardware, Ed). ZeMarmot will be broadcast license “Creative Commons” and therefore free access or download visionage
In the culture page of the 64 ‘TV5MONDE on 6 June 2015 close up of the project “Zemarmot”.
If today’s animated films are created by computer software professionals in the field are numerous and lapped. So what can bring much free software as part of the creation and production of art? Their free is an important factor for small structures, such an association. But maturity, now established as they are technically capable of competing with paid tools, reinforces their interest.
The choice of the team of LILA (Free Association as Art) to use only free software to create, produce, sound with 2D animated film “ZeMarmot” therefore is a starting natural commitment. Jehanen is writer and software developer for drawing and photo editing software Gimp, and creation software / 3D animation Blender. He summarizes this perfectly logical approach to him: “ I am user of free software for many years, but also developer was so for me very natural I did not even. asked to use something other than free software “
The director of ZeMarmot, Aryeom, plebiscite, in turn, the global aspect of free software.” Free software is used and improved around the world, so for me it’s interesting, because for the promotion of films, for example, it is much easier to make a global promotion with shared software worldwide . If I meet other people who make animated films with this software, it is also easier to put on, to share with them. Free software is a good thing for the world, in my opinion . “
What economic models?
Philosophically speaking, free software confronts the merchant model patents and copyright and brings a new approach to the creation, sharing, contribution, exchange of dematerialized cultural assets. Free software is not developed to make money since it can be sold. Its manufacturing recipe can not be kept secret, since any user can open the code and modify it.
This approach called copyleft (“copyleft”), in opposition to the copyright (copyright) has yet massively popular in recent years in the field of computing: the famous Mozilla Firefox web browser is a free software GNU / Linux system operating installed on 80% of Internet servers, is one too. The question of the business model is yet pose: how to make a living by creating software tools, or artistic, free and works infinitely shareable
As for publishers of free software, the answer is easier to make because companies are willing to pay to allow improvements and adaptations of the most interesting software for them. Or use its developers. Foundations like Wikipedia, the collaborative encyclopedia world, rely on donations across the entire planet, but for a small organization like the association and the LILA ZeMarmot production studio? “ First, we collected money through crowdfunding (” Crowdfunding “on Indiegogo.com, Ed) , and while it’s not a lot of money it is sufficient to move forward. Then, if I do not diffusais the animated film Creative Commons, I am not sure it would bring much, anyway. I love what I do, and the significant it is to succeed in making the work exist . In addition, I make my living next door, as an artist “, explains the director Aryeom.
New cultural sites for new protections for authors
The aim artists like those of ZeMarmot project does not profit from the sale of cultural products and the recovery of copyright. It will thus many musicians who prefer to share songs for free Creative Commons rather than looking to sign with a label, register their works with the Society of Authors, sell records and touch the broadcast copyright. This view of culture, as a “common share” is new, may seem strange, but it does not withdraw provided artists the paternity of their creations or their intellectual property. In addition, the flexibility of the Creative Commons licenses allow authors to negotiate the commercial use of their works (see our article, “Internet: cultural property” royalty free “are they the future?”). The writer ZeMarmot, Johan says this aspect: “ If ZeMarmot was to be used for advertising, for example, we could quite negotiate with the company that would like to use it, even financially, since the license we use is restricted in the case of commercial use. In any case, the work is still given to us, it is “we” even if it can be shared freely. “
The new cultural goods bring new intellectual protection, new forms of work and dissemination, without yet possible to know what will come out: “ We try to find a new model one experiences because we do not know exactly what can and can not do with this approach. We know we need finance first so crowdfunding, and if this is not enough to the whole film, it is possible to start to continue and go further in stages. If it interests people, they can fund upstream and see the project appear. This animated film will not see the light with conventional studios, anyway “concludes Jehan.
” 2.0 artistic creation “, issue of free software, and accompanied by her – in crowdfunding – advance and begin to make themselves known, far from the giant firms to Pharaonic budgets If it finds its way -. were able to do as free software – it is a new parallel form of cultural creation and dissemination that seems to emerge. At the scale of the planet.
