@matthias and I have decided to make a second, shorter Reef video. The one we have is more aimed at the community, we want to make one aimed at allies and funders. It will be foreground much more the green urban living innovation aspect of The Reef.
It is going to be a trailer. Duration 1-2 minutes, aimed at conveying one powerful idea rather than at representing diversity. Solarpunk aesthetics.
Points to make:
The community we look for aspires to be a pathfinder of new, greener lifestyles. There is an element of courage, of the elation of doing something difficult together.
This has been our aspiration for years, with the unMonastery and the Open Village.
We want to be neighbors to a university-powered innovation lab, and to offer residencies to engineers, biodesigners, inventors and artists to help us re-invent urban living.
We also want to be a hub for the neighborhood for this stuff. Matt has some very cool ideas about neighborhood grids, and we could have parties demonstrating cool tech, like the calcium chloride-dehydration of food. Or even a courtyard party in the winter, demonstrating “stillsuits” to keep us warm in cold weather. Matt to write a concise description of this, so I do not say incorrect things.
Video material:
New interview to me only (Matt’s back in Germany).
Salvaging some stuff from Matt’s existing footage (for example where he speaks about his truck).
Fragments from videos we find lying around. The aesthetics is that of the unMonastery videos made by @nicobis (below – are you out there Nicola? We miss you!). Maybe @trythis can suggest some clips? Maybe some material from @hugi and Blivande?
Graphic facilitation might be useful to explain The Reef’s potentiality to become an innovative lab addressed to a plurality of scientific and creative minds + large audience
Hi @alberto, all. I’m here, but I don’t surf this platform since lot of time… my fault, sorry.
I’m leaving in Madrid, working on video creation and production and still looking and interested in economic and social impact of politics. If I can help in any stuff, just write me and I’ll try to do my best. Hugs
I am planning to hire Gazelle, who already delivered the first video and shot the footage of Matt and me. But we really really need a few sexy clips from YouTube!
The Open Source Ecology videos are full of clips that we could use as input material, and basically all of them are CC-BY licenced (as noted in the descriptions of the individual videos on YouTube).
I tried to locate a few suitable clips, and post them here:
https://youtu.be/R6NV21clyTA (good one, because it’s about a DIY water-heating stove, pretty close to technology that The Reef might have in real life)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=984GDcLY1Y0 (this is literally full of suitable clips; just choose one that is without talking and where it’s not obvious what machine is being built)
Where the link goes to a full video, that video is full of clips that are potentally suitable. Where it goes to a position in a video, only that clip is relevant. To obtain that video at the highest possible resolution, use youtube-dl or similar software.
Well we have an online archive of footage shot for all our videos to date. Much of that footage has been produced by @sammuirhead so please let him know if you want to use it under a cc licence. It is available on degoo.com and you will find the login credentials in the wiki.
Hi @alberto at the moment I’m building my new website… This is a landing page of a project I’m developing between Spain and Italy and we want to reply in other zone of Europe www.planetyourope.com
Let’s keep in touch, I’m available. Hugs all
FYI, this is no longer happening. Gazelle thinks we simply do not have the time to do a god job. @ilaria this has consequences for the reporting, of course.
FYI from my last chat with Gazelle this week she re-iterated that she’s keen to collaborate further with us in the future and do more extensive work that needs the proper attention. When time comes then.
