  The Reality Engineer
  
  The Reality Engineer is a comedic short film about a scientist who attempts to improve human life by altering reality. Yet each well-intentioned intervention only deepens the chaos. In the end, he must grasp a simple truth that will ultimately set things right.The project began with an analysis of films released between 1920 and 1930. I wanted to create something in an early sci-fi aesthetic, but it turned out that this decade actually predates the sci-fi boom, so there was very little material to draw from. Large-scale science-fiction cinema was almost nonexistent at the time. The simplest solution would have been to use the image of a person sitting in front of a futuristic television and commenting on what is happening on the screen. This image stayed with me from H. G. Wells’ Things to Come. However, that film was released in 1936 and has not yet entered the public domain. Still, I liked the idea. Instead, a scene from Metropolis was used as the foundation. Overall, the film is assembled from five different films shot in 1930 or slightly earlier.All video manipulations and animations were done manually. No generative AI was used in this project.Films used:High Treason (1930), Metropolis (1927), Faust (1926), Cops (1922), le cochon danseur (The Dancing Pig 1907).Music"Rimsky-Korsakov, Russian Easter Festival Overture, Op. 36" by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov is marked with CC0 1.0.https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=22303199Short Pizzicato Song by DanJFilms -- https://freesound.org/s/529008/ -- License: Creative Commons 0I.

  The Case Of The Disappearing Copyright
  
  1930 ushered in a new decade and a world teetering between mystery and modernity. It was a year of detectives, jazz, speakeasies, and iconic characters stepping onto the cultural stage—many of whom have been locked behind copyright for nearly a century. Now, at long last, their cases have been reopened.This year, we follow “The Case of the Disappearing Copyright” as beloved sleuths and unforgettable stories slip back into the hands of the public. Nancy Drew makes her public domain debut with her first four mystery stories, beginning with The Secret of the Old Clock. Agatha Christie’s famed detective Miss Marple appears in her first novel, The Murder at the Vicarage. And the full book version of The Maltese Falcon featuring Sam Spade, Dashiell Hammett’s hard-boiled private eye, steps into the public domain, ready for new adventures.But the mystery doesn’t end there:• Betty Boop makes her first appearance in Dizzy Dishes• Disney’s iconic bloodhound debuts as Rover (later known as Pluto)• The Academy Award–winning Best Picture, All Quiet on the Western Front, enters the public domain• Beloved classics like The Little Engine That Could join the celebration• Timeless musical compositions “Georgia on My Mind,” “I Got Rhythm,” and “Dream a Little Dream of Me” become free for all to remix and reimagine• The Technicolor musical revue King of Jazz joins the partyRESOURCES SHAREDChat

1. A noir-style illustrated poster titled “The Case of the Disappearing Copyright.” The Lockette—a cartoon character whose body is an open yellow padlock—cautiously steps out of an open vault marked with a copyright symbol. A strong beam of light shines from outside the frame, casting a large copyright symbol onto the floor. Floating eyes and a magnifying glass with a question mark evoke a detective mystery. Red footprints lead toward the open vault door. Text reads: “Public Domain Day 2026” and “Jan 21st @10am PT: Virtual.” Illustrated by Freya Morgan.
