Lost Gem in Norway

Carmine Variations: Pictorial Carmine


Norway who? Santa just dropped a wonderful gift near the pole, the first Christmas film ever made by the Company of Disney.


They just found a lost Disney film on  the National Library of Norway. A Surprising and at the same time an Exiting event. Everyone is in awe for the new found treasure. One of the archivist on the library commented "At the beginning, we didn't know it was a lost cinematographic treasure,"...
 Of course no! None expects to archive a long lost disney film on a casual friday on a public library...
Now, the serious part of this recovery is on the ownership of the work. According to the article linked below "The Walt Disney Company eventually regained the rights to Oswald in 2006 in an unusual arrangement with Universal. " 
 That means that some legal issues may be underwater and is not really clear to see if the long lost archive belong to either one, plus it was found on a public institution. The question is : To where or to who should  the gains of this treasure go?
Feel free to expound on your answer by commenting below.
As for Alvise, he thinks Santa should decide.

Ask vimeo


Carmine Variations: Carmine Red

How to stay afloat, genuine, and add free? Ask Vimeo


Lets face it, the content that the TV and YouTube provide us is not enough, luckily we count with Vimeo to shake things around.
With a relatively low profile and lots of originality, Vimeo use the passion and integrity of its users to gain revenue without recurring to advertisement.Content creators sell and rent their creation with the users while Vimeo stays with 10% of their share (Pretty different from YouTube which take 45% of its users' sells). ehm...


The focused niches in which authors surround their project with, provides a prosperous revenue for Vimeo. The financially comfort of both the company and its professional users provides a more retributive space for visual media to be afloat and available as the their content is used to provide a financial gain and fair distribution to the creator by their own market without having to rely on advertisement space, which in Alvise's opinion diminish the essence of the art presented.
Some positive testimonials about this method are stated by Mr. Duplass who said that "Ever since comedian Louis C.K. started directly selling access to his shows online to fans, there’s a lot of interest in Hollywood about testing new business models, particularly those that would seem to be quite favorable to creators." 

And listen: According the article below  "Vimeo has attracted roughly half a million paying subscribers, and IAC said during its most recent earnings call in July that the site’s revenue had jumped 45% versus the previous year." That means that a lot of things will be going on in the next few years! Caminians get Exited! Take a leap of faith and browse more videos at Vimeo, a place where originality is the bread of everyday!
