Understanding Copyright And Licenses by David Bushell in Smashing Magazine. David covers copyright and licensing, ‘fair use’, ‘public domain’, legal jurisdiction, license terminology, Creative Commons, and other basics of licensing.
It’s a good topic to be familiar with before even thinking about using any intellectual property that you yourself haven’t created.

If I only had one word to describe this I would use the word AWESOME.
The Ice Book (HD) from Davy and Kristin McGuire on Vimeo.
The Ice Book is a miniature theatre show, a pop-up book that comes to life as if by magic.
It tells the story of a mysterious princess who lures a boy into her magical world to warm her heart of ice. It is made from sheets of paper and light, designed to give a live audience an intimate and immersive experience of film, theatre, dance, mime and animation.
We created the show during a four month artist residency at the Kuenstlerdorf Schoeppingen in Germany. All we had was a 5D Mark ii, an old Macbook with After Effects, some builders lights and a green cloth that we improvised as a makeshift green-screen. Before we started we had no idea how to make pop-up books let alone how we could combine them with projections. With a lot of care, love and arguing the idea eventually came to life.

Thanks.
