i-docs.fr, Réfléchir sur les documentaires interactifs
juillet 23, 2011 by gholubowicz · Leave a Comment
Par ce que je n’ai malheureusement pas eu le temps de le faire encore ici, je voulais vous annoncer le lancement d’I-docs.fr.
Cette plateforme ouverte et collaborative est pensée comme un lieu où les professionnels pourront discuter du future des documentaires interactifs (i-docs).
Si vous êtes de la partie (webdoc), ou que vous soyez producteur, un auteur, un web designer et que vous souhaitez partager votre réflexion avec nous, n’hésitez à me contacter (ou nous contacter directement via le site). Nous serons ravis de vous avoir à bord.
Cette plateforme a été créée après une discussion que j’ai eu avec Annabel Roux & Djela Djamba Okoko au Barcamp Transmedia à Marseille en Mai dernier (sur Twitter: #TBM11). Nous avions pensé qu’il serait bon d’avoir un terrain de réflexion commun ou nous pourrions discuter de nos approches de l’i-doc. Tous deux sont des web designers et donc évidemment, nous avions beaucoup à partager et a dire sur le sujet. J’ai rapidement monte une plateforme pour que nous puissions commencer à rassembler un groupe de travail intéressant.
I-docs.fr est une honnête tentative d’améliorer notre façon de travailler, de comprendre et d’aborder ce nouveau genre. J’espère que vous prendrez plaisir à parcourir ces pages. Par ailleurs je suis ravi d’avoir Sandra Gaudenzi (i-docs.org) avec nous et David Dufresne en supporter Montréalais. A vous deux, merci.
TimeScapes.org by Tom Lowe

TimeScape.org is an ongoing project put together by Tom Lowe, 2010 Astronomy photographer of the Year.
This is production footage I shot over the summer for my debut film, « TimeScapes, » a modern portrait of the American Southwest. I used Canon and Red MX cameras.
I hurge you to follow the blog here which is really captivating (at least from my point of view) or follow the guy on twitter. This work is beyond inspiration and take you back to our fundamental roots, the sky, the stars, trees and nature.
Haiti Schism, Morel vs. AFP
octobre 16, 2010 by gholubowicz · 7 Comments
The case of Daniel Morel vs AFP goes unnoticed in France, yet its legal implications are vast, as are the various positions stated by different well known actors of photojournalism.
Make no doubt that Daniel Morel only had one thing in mind on January 12 of this year: witnessing the atrocities and rampages resulting from the devastating earthquake which struck Haiti. Morel, former AP photographer, stopped covering news a while ago to refocus his work on documentaries projects. But this time, it was a matter of History, his history, the history of thousands Haitians, friends, relatives, neighbors, all living together in the same city, sharing the same culture, the same destiny.
How would have he ignored that, how being a photographer and obliterate this major event? He had to alert the public; he had to transmit this information and to bear witness for generations to come. He did it for History, for his history and for ours.
For those who missed the whole story and the legal battle engaged in since then by AFP – who “STOLE” Morel’s pictures on Twipics and sold them without compensation – against D.Morel, take a look at BJP who made a great compilation work on this.
If the debate is getting tougher online, about legal questions, Terms of Service and what should be used as argument from both parties. If comments are uncertain about whether or not the Twitter & Twitpics ToS should be different or the uploading process more careful with embedded data, there’s a more subtle concern that nobody seems to care about. A question that would potentially reshape the way we’re looking our business and our practices.
