New full res CITIZENS trailer: 720x450

[npcoombs]

Hi All

Just to let you know that a full-res trailer of the CITIZENS project is up on the website. This is far from a final trailer for the project, but I thought you might be curious nevertheless. You need Quicktime 7 and some hefty bandwidth because its 20MB, but ultimately we will be using Flash and tighter compression.

There is also more information about the films in the project, plus thumbnails of nearly all the films. In the news section, with editorial permission by Small Format, you can read a 'Making Of' article about the film 'David, King of Israel' about the Iranian beauty contest in Israel.

All comments, feedback and questions more than welcome.

Cheers

Not working under Linux w/ Mozilla and the MPlayer plugin, fyi. It will load, then error that the playlist is missing.

hmm this is a simple Quicktime embed, so I don't know what the problem could be - this is beyond my technical knowledge to resolve...

I'll take a try when I get home on the Mac.

It needs to be deinterlaced. I see all sorts of weird fringing going on that makes it look like it was shot on video.

(Assuming I've picked the reference right) what's the reference to Tout va bien all about?

Nice music.

Anyone know what's happened to this project? Seems this project has died, the website is no longer up.

seems like nathan is busy getting his phd, google him. i'm a med student myself these days and i know it's hard to do several demanding things at the same time.

[woods01]

Well a PHD would certainly eat up any spare time. Though I'm surprised he'd completely abandon the project without some sort of announcement. The project appeared to be quite close to completion, though he did have to extend the deadline so perhaps the unexpected delays ran up against his educational pursuits.

[mattias]

yeah i don't know what happened. i just though i'd share what a google search revealed. seems like he left the board at around the same time his research material and other articles started to hit the web.

I had some email discussions with one of the guys doing the final edits - but that was a good few months ago...
