Bill Cheswick’s New Way to See Movies
Bill Cheswick prints entire films – I’m talkin’ every single frame of the film – on giant rolls of paper. Because Sita is open licensed, he was able to make cool new art with it without my permission, but he gave me this 30-foot-long print anyway!
From Cheswick’s site:
Of course, I would like to try this on many other movies. The problem is one of copyright violation. While some argue this is fair use, it is clearly debatable, and I am not trying to blaze new legal ground here.
I’m glad Sita’s open license removes that obstacle. I wouldn’t want to be left out of this party!
