CC rocks

27-01-2009

Mancandy_finaleWhen I made the Mancandy FAQ for the Blender Institute, we licensed the content as CC BY (the audio as CC BY NC) – mainly because the Blender Institute is committed to free/open code and media, and not in the business of making closed content. The value of something is enhanced (I think) every time someone uses it for a new and unexpected purpose.

Still, I thought that other than educational value, the video on the Mancandy FAQ was (intentionally) rather silly, and probably not versatile enough for lots of re-mix/re-use.

So you can imagine I was pretty suprised when I was contacted by Steve Lyon, from the noprofit accessibleevents about using some of the animation (under the terms of both the CC and CC NC licenses) for use in a video about Sexuality After Spinal Cord Injury (please note this is the work in progress video)

As a final addendum, Steve has informed me that he is working on another video about a boy with spina bifida; if anyone has time or content to help with the project, it would be wonderful to put together to show how the birth defect evolves – so anybody interested in helping out?

    Hi.
    Yes, I would love to help Steve with his video about a boy with spina bifida if it’s not already to late and I am willing to help wherever I can in anything to date.

    Right now I have questions about the sperms and looking for help within my own project that contains a scene of sperms fertilizing an egg.

    I would be very grateful if you like to comment on my thread about my sperm problem on: http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=171015

    Thank you and kind regards,
    fybs

    Hi fybs, you can probably find the video tutorial from the dvd on blip tv – search for mancandy faq there. The original poster probably finished that project a while ago, i haven’t heard from him in a while
