Hollywood Model, Phase II - Practitioner Tools

[backspaces]

I'd like to start a new series of tech discussions @ the complex in  
the 11:30-12:30 Wed time slot.  The theme is to complete the Hollywood  
Model (HM) that Steve has articulated so well.

HM Phase I: Projects, like Movies, have a life cycle: the initial  
proposal, team organization, implementation, and team dispersion.  
Independent subcontracting is used to create an ecology which is very  
responsive to the movie industry.

Our focus on projects within the complex is the first step in our own,  
Santa Fe Tech version of the HM.  Our own version of Phase I

But to complete the HM, we need Phase II: interoperability and  
standard frameworks.  The tools that form the practitioner's kit,  
along with the interoperability that allow multiple practitioners to  
work together in order to form the project teams.  Hollywood teams  
have a pipeline that includes standards and interoperability, but with  
latitude within groups as to how they perform their magic.

So I'd like to start a set of discussions that focus on what  
technologies we feel are core to our projects within the complex.  The  
first meeting will be broad, discussing the areas of interest such as  
modeling, visualization, deployment (web vs desktop).

After we decide on our "ecology", we'll begin topical meetings.  An  
example would be Roger's exploration into SVG recently, building a  
nifty clock entirely in JavaScript.  Another would be Steve and I  
discussing the Merton project where we use GAE (Google App Engine)  
including Python on the server side, JavaScript (AJAX & Google Maps)  
on the client, and XML for communication between the two.

[Sorry for the wide mailing, but I didn't want to miss anyone who'd be  
interested.]

Owen and others,
I think this is a great suggestion and would like to participate in  
such discussions.  Your suggested time slot works for me.  Please keep  
me posted.

I think that the way Frankencircuit came together was a good example
of the "hollywood Model" if you will,  Phil the director, (producer as
well maybe) the artists as cast,  Bill, Simon, Cyrus, Tyler and others
as crew.  And it was sucessful IMO in the first real example of the
whole vision of the Complex.  It only happened on site in the couple
days before the event.   If anyone wants to post their contact as a
tech consultant for re:Make It! please do so.  My plan is to start
going to Meow Wolf starting next week and building and brewing some
fun stuff that can be wired with lights, sound, etc. it would even be
fun to build a project during the day on saturday, in a workshop
environment....

In terms of what skills I can bring to a production: art department,
set building,  post production, sound design, I can also haul heavy
shit around.  My skills aren't really marketing, PR, and technical
things.

And sorry I can't make the wednesday meeting, it's my full day of work
unfortunately.

Don't forget todays meeting!  Fabio, Steve and I have been refining it  
over the last few days, and several new ideas are popping up.  Come  
help the thought process.
