For this Monday’s Link Roundup I had an embarrassment of riches. For some practical advice don’t miss Search for Creative Commons Licensed Media at CC Search and Go Ahead, Raise Your Business’s Prices. And if you’re in the mood for something more whimsical, I recommend The 11 Worst Movie Lines for Women on a First Date and The Best Question in the World.
- An F.S.A.-Style Collective for Troubled Times. “During the Great Depression, the photographers of the Farm Security Administration created a visual archive of their country that still shapes the way America thinks of itself…Today, in another time of economic distress and social upheaval, a group of veteran photographers, inspired by the F.S.A., has banded together to create a lasting record of the era and, like their forebears, to introduce America to Americans.” [Thanks to cj madigan of ShoeboxStories for alerting me to this item.]
- Future Docs: Creating Documentaries Across Platforms. “I’m often surprised by how squeamish filmmakers can be about technology, especially considering the incredibly elaborate cameras and editing systems they use happily on a daily basis. I think part of the problem is that most of the discussions around web innovation have leaned toward the marketing and distribution side of things which can skew the conversation away from the far-reaching creative potential of many of these new tools – all the way through the production process.”
- The 11 Worst Movie Lines for Women on a First Date. “One email poured in demanding a list of the worst movie quotes for women on a first date. This, she argued, provides equal time to the females who represent at least one half of the people participating in those uncertain romantic encounters. So, by request, here are the eleven movie lines women should stay away from when meeting that man everyone says you’re going to ‘just love’.”
- Search for Creative Commons Licensed Media at CC Search. “It’s a challenge to find exactly what you need among the mountains of Creative Commons works on the web. CC Search scans 9 popular media providers to drill down and find the CC licensed media you’re looking for.”
- Go Ahead, Raise Your Business’s Prices. “Sure, some customers will complain, and others might take their business elsewhere. But there’s a good chance you don’t want those kinds of customers, anyway.” [Thanks to Stefani Twyford of Legacy Multimedia for alerting me to this item.]
- The Best Question in the World. A enchanting animation by Betsy Streeter.
- Thoughts on Using a Lifestream to Create a Memorial. “Lifestreaming is still very much in its infancy but it is clear that it’s becoming the digital diary of the new millennium. My grandparents died when I was very young and I never got to hear them tell their story. All I have are photo albums and the stories from the rest of the family. How amazing would it be to have access to rich Lifestreams of our ancestors to hear about their lives in their own words? Well as more people begin adopting Lifestreaming, and the services get perfected to achieve this, I think Lifestream memorials will become a reality in the future.”
