Welcome to Open Source Cinema

Open Source Cinema UK will be taking an open and transparent approach to Digital Film Production and Services. Our inspiration and intention is to allow growth and freedom and provide the tools to achieve the desired results through access to a network of solutions providing both hardware and software solutions and to encourage like minded collaborators and collaborations.
We wish to engage with the open source community by :
  • Clearly show people what Open Source actually means, and how it works, with relation to Film Production and Delivery/Distribution.
  • Establishing credibility for those services and deserved recognition for those people and projects who have in fact open sourced their work, allowing access and inviting collaboration.
  • Giving people the freedom to study, understand, modify and sell their products or derivatives there of.
The ethos and ecology behind this is :
  • To establish Digital Film Production and services at this stage. Including initial image capture, dailies deliverables, VFX and Post/DI through to Distribution and DCP Mastering, all unlearn Open Source and freedom of information ethos.
  • To emphasise our inspiration is taken from Open Source, 
  • Our intention to develop a workflow of Open Source tools for Film Production.
  • To include the elements which we wish to incorporate which can categorically be described as Open Source.
There are many ways we will establish the positive approaches we wish to be taking, which includes describing the collaborative elements of our service, the transparency, the customisation and so forth.

These elements are familiar from the world of Open Source and we wish to introduce these elements to a new and growing audience.
