Hi Allan,

Thank you for your response!  It is nice to know that other marketing
materials will take shape as videos too. I will gladly help with the
editing and processing.

As for the promotional video I am working on, I will make sure to have a
look at the brand guidelines before I begin, thank you for the links.

Regards,

Bastian/Urne

Hi Bastian,

Thanks so much for this. I'm sorry I've been so slow to respond. I've
got a few ideas about video content in general - I hope they're
useful.

First, one of the outcomes of the marketing hackfest is that we're
pushing for all our marketing materials to be consistent with our
brand guidelines. This includes both the content of the messaging as
well as the visual style. I'm still working on this, but there are
resources you can refer to [1, 2].

Second, there are a few places where we have discussed the need for
video assets in the past. The first is for the GNOME 3 page [3], to
show off some features. For example, it would be great to have Watch
the video - connecting GNOME 3 to your online accounts. We used to
have something like this that Jason Clinton did for the 3.0 release,
but those videos are now too out of date to use.

The other thing that we've talked about is doing a series of short
interviews with GNOME contributors and turning them into a short film.
I think that we often struggle because the GNOME project remains
faceless, and am always inspired when I hear about why our
contributors do what they do. Putting those faces and stories on the
screen would be really cool. This is something we might film at
GUADEC, and it would be great to have help with editing and
processing.

GNOME Promo Video Animation Mockup

2013-06-22 Thread Bastian Hougaard
Hi #marketing!

I am doing some progress on the promotion video. I have spent the last
weeks finding solutions to various problems the creation of this
animation introduces.

Me and sri held a meeting yesterday and we decided that I should do a
mockup of the animation and hear what the rest of you think. The mockup
can be watched here (it has sound btw):
http://rvzt.net/Temp/crappymatic.avi

I recommend you to read the storyboard first to get an idea.

Yes, I did mess up the order of events but that was of course not my
intention. Other than that, all feedback is welcome! As soon as my examn
period is over I will look into creating the actual animation. :-)

Best Regards,

Bastian/Urne

Pretty sweet, Bastian.  I'm getting a much better idea of what you're
thinking here.  My only issue is that it's sort of cold in a star trekkie
kind of way.  It would be great to also have a contrasting video full of
warm colors, smiles, and so forth as well.  I think this video might appeal
to one cross section of our users.  What do other people think?  Great
voice over btw!  I like your voice.
