hi,
I was wondering if they would allow recording equipment to take video of
the whole 64,215 km of tracks that the Indian Railway has and release it
under a Creative Commons (CC-BY) license licensed to Indian Railways.
Crazy but could be done. There are railway enthusiasts.
warm regards,
Pradeep Mohandas

hi,
I wonder if anybody in the Indian Railways or cruise ships would be
interested in such a project.
warm regards,

In 2010 the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation made a strange video
production «Bergenbanen» (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bergen_Line), a
five hour contineous video streamed live from the train. Now they are
making «Hurtigruta» (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurtigruten), a five
day contineous video from the ships travelling along the Norwegian
coastline. The stream should be available worlwide
(
http://www.nrk.no/hurtigruten/). The previous stream about
Bergensbanen is made available under a creative commons license and is
also available at commons
(
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bergensbanen_1280x720.ogv).
This kind of documentary video should be possible in other contexts
too. What about the steamboat «Skibladner»
(
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skibladner) at lake Mjøsa? Or the boats
travelling Göta Kanal (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6ta_Canal)?
In general, what if we could build a rig to make such documentary
videos? Just an idea.
John
