ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Open source film

Alright kiddo, do you know what a movie is? It's like a really long story but you can watch it like a picture show. Sometimes the people who make the movies want to keep it all to themselves and not share it with anyone else. But sometimes, they want to share it with everyone and let them use it to make something great. That's where open source film comes in.

An open source film is like a movie that someone made but they want other people to use and change it however they want. It's like building with Lego blocks, but the blocks are pieces of a movie. They want people to be creative and build something new with their movie pieces.

When people use open source film, they can edit it, add their own ideas, and make something completely different. It's like a big puzzle that you can put together any way you want.

The cool thing about open source film is that it's not just for fun. People can use it to make their own movies, teach others how to make movies, or just watch it and enjoy the story. It's like having a playground for your imagination and you can do anything you want.

And the best part? Open source film isn't just for big movie companies. Anyone can make an open source film and share it with the world. It's like giving a gift to everyone and saying, "Here, take this and make it even better!" So, get your creative hat on, kiddo, and start building your own open source movie!
