OpenIndie, Phase II: Network of Theaters (w/ Video)
Description from Kickstarter:
“PHASE 2: We are now raising money to build the next component to OpenIndie which is a network of digital theaters to utilize this infrastructure. The key technology to enabling this is the OpenLicense, a way to describe how members of the OpenIndie community are able to distribute a film.
The money will go towards the programming expense of building this technology as well as 1 full time staff member to work for 6 months manually building the digital cinema network calling up theaters and walking them through integrating the OpenIndie system into their booking practices. This is where the OpenLicense being a robost machine and human readable license that is customizable by the filmmaker.”

The Mathematics of a Hollywood Scene
From the Article:
“Psychologist Professor James Cutting and his team from Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, analyzed 150 high-grossing Hollywood films released from 1935 to 2005 and discovered the shot lengths in the more recent movies followed the same mathematical pattern that describes the human attention span. The pattern was derived by scientists at the University of Texas in Austin in the 1990s who studied the attention spans of subjects performing hundreds of trials. The team then converted the measurements of their attention spans into wave forms using a mathematical technique known as the Fourier transform.”
