$50 For Custom Dream or MORE!
Anyone?
Thursday, February 22, 2007 by DrinkMore | Discussion: Windows Vista
So, my request is a dream whith decent amounts of lightning - that really vibrant blue/purple lightning that comes down and spreads. If I can get a dream like this with a city scape below the sky or on the skyline - EVEN BETTER! Or over a field or ocean would work as well.
Stipulations - Must be at 1920x1200, the loops must be perfect and NOT noticeable, Image quality also must be good.
If you are interested, please post here. I really would like to get something done.
Mods - if this is in the wrong forum or what not, my apologies.

More simply, who owns it when complete?

I am picturing a house on a hill.
A small flash in the distance. The kind that just lights up the clouds a bit as if a UFO was about to break through.
Slight pause
Craaaaaaaack!
How was it?

Depending on the quality of the dream and the price point - would really determine it's uniqueness. I am glad you asked this question because I was thinking about this when I posted.
Here are my thoughts - if the dream is good and I like it and purchase it at say 10 bux - I would say you can redistribute it without issue.
If the dream is superb and beyond expectations and I pay 50 or more - then it needs to be NON distributable. There will be only two compies - mine and yours and that is it - ever.
Make sense? It's touch and go on how much should be a set point for when it can be kept or given away to others.

I think the first impotant thing to consider is the practicality/viability of the imagined price-points.
The $10 is debatable.....the $50 for unique rights is probably a few orders of magnitude inaccurate....

Unless you and the artist make some special deal, real exclusivity isn't likely. And for something like a Dream, I don't really see the point for the artist to relinquish their rights unless you intend to sell it yourself. In which case, you might want to add an extra zero or two at the end of that $50.

i bet the person who made those would make some if compencated, they seem to be prerendered and i'd love to have the originals that were in higher quality

I think you may want to re-think that.
A decent Dream animated wallpaper like the one you're talking about would probably take somewhere between 80 and 160 hours depending on a number of factors.
Let's say it only takes 80 hours to do. You would, in effect, be paying around 50 cents per hour. Do you really think anyone's going to work for that?

i think dcyphure was referring to the original artist having the higher quality original tapes stuff in order to make some custom dream if compensated.
yes thats what i'm meaning...he obviously has very good talent, did you see the morning view one, very nice if it was looped well and in hi def. and restrictions or not if those were hi def i'd be using a couple on my desktop.
but he mentions he doesnt care much about doing animated desktops, some compensations might change his mind however, i can only imagine how much he could charge and have people buy short looping vids of some of those static wallpapers at that site..very beuitiful
