Hi, thanks for your so quick and positive response. I think, the creative
team at machinimatrix will
be eager to do some more stuff, including some really neat 3D visualizations
of a cocoon pipeline.

Pity you couldn't find a real female, though, or is the
constituency of cocoon users still completely unbalanced in the male &
female sense ? - Using an avatar as "moderator" was part of the design
decision, when we made the concept for the tutorial. The main point here
is, that our tutorials are created in a 3D environment, which probably
will be "publicly visitable" at some time in the near future (plans are
made, but decisions need to be taken yet)
- Using a generated voice has 2 reasons:
1.) We thought, Avatars need computer voices (never break the media ;-) )
2.) The content is expressed in XML, so it is no problem to edit the text
during content creation and of course it is no problem to create a
transcription.
Having said this, I think, we are going to add cocoon to our future video
production chain .

This is excellent news. If Cocoon is seen to be _the_ Killer application
that allows
your creative people to be creative, without the technology getting in
the way, who
can possibly deny that it is awesome.
I certainly don't really object to an avatar, and even if you were to
employ a
professional to do a performance, or just a voice-over, the avatar
edition could
provide an accurate reference to synchronise with, at a later editing stage.
