In Which Long-Standing Projects are Resurrected
I've been tooling on an idea for a short film off and on for a couple of years. I finished storyboarding it not too long ago and I’ve been filling out the dialog and all that lately. Inspired partly by La Jetée, partly by Jim Munroe’s advice, and mostly by lack of resources, I’m shooting the whole thing with a still camera and assembling it in Premiere.

Now don’t accuse me of going all avant-garde and weird. This is (almost) entirely a cost-based decision. I don’t own a movie camera other than an old 8mm (which wouldn’t give me the right look) and I don’t have the money to buy a new one.

Most of the shots are done, there’s still a few scenes I’ll need to get on my days off in various locations around town. What I can’t shoot here, I can supplement with CC-licensed images since the whole film will be released under an Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike license anyway – most of my works are. For sounds I can raid freesound; music can also be easily had. But I've got enough completed that I can start putting it all together.

Figured out that if I can work an hour a day on this computer I could have it done by festival season...

Okay, I know Flickr does Creative Commons, do any of the other photo archives?
