Re: New Features and Enhancements video
Howdy folks, Well, kind of a long 2-3 days.. I've done some work on content creation, but right now wanted to look firstly at an overall focus and appropriate motif/themes for the project. Following are the beginning of that work - I have a free weekend coming up and plan to have the first real draft of the two documents finished by Monday - along with some examples of how to apply the motif and themes. So - if folks want to comment on what is here, great, but you may like to hold off till I post up the finished first draft and examples. Media Library Overview https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bx7ZNEXlmR0IaXRTUHpCQURGTEE Media Library Motif/themes https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bx7ZNEXlmR0Ia3VBQU9RUDJkdWs One of the over arching goals of this is to put in a place a defined set of artifacts and work process so that collaboration can easily take place, for example. Volunteers can focus on content creation, without much if any concern on branding as the content would then be 'wrapped' into the branding by applying a theme and defined final presentation layout. The motif should also work for content such as video from conference presentations, use with video conferencing systems such as Google Hangouts and in the examples on Monday it will address the Google Hangouts use directly. Final note, when you look at the second document don't get too wrapped up with the secondary graphics, mostly it's just working out layout rules and the like. I will be back on-line again then on Monday, or possibly Tuesday next week, but no later then that. //drew On Mon, Aug 5, 2013 at 5:57 AM, Jürgen Schmidt jogischm...@gmail.comwrote: On 8/2/13 10:30 PM, Andrea Pescetti wrote: On 30/07/2013 Drew Jensen wrote: I've been plowing ahead with my ideas here; not just as a single activity to produce one or two videos but rather to start a framework for a project multi-media resources library, from which multiple videos, for multiple purposes, would be generated.

Re: New Features and Enhancements video
Howdy, Well, I'be not had a chance to read any mail, after my last message, before writing this so if it seems like I've missed something already mentioned that would be the reason. I've been plowing ahead with my ideas here; not just as a single activity to produce one or two videos but rather to start a framework for a project multi-media resources library, from which multiple videos, for multiple purposes, would be generated. It could also be used to generate themed artifacts for fliers/presentations/artwork(wallpapers, etc) that tie in with these videos. The key is to generate small chunks, of high quality, which can then be used to mix final works. By way of example I've uploaded a zip file at: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bx7ZNEXlmR0ISV9GcjY5M1l1TTA with the following files: July30/Chunks - AOO4_default_blk.mp4 and AOO4_default_white.mp4 are (should be, more on that later) used as consistent backgrounds in other chunks - WelcomeUsers.mp4, NewLogo.mp4, CommunityActivities.mp4, CommunityActivities.mp4 where created as a reshaping of the wiki features and enhancements page. - Each video includes a voice over (almost) and there is an associated text file with transcript of same. For the initial finished product I had in mind three category of video and one physical video for each category. The categories I had in mind are Flowers - as in 'Congrats on the new birth' - short, punchy and could supply the ending of the other videos to tie them together and for re-use efficiencies. Community - The apache way, recruiting, etc. Features - about the product or services offered by the community. Alright, so I already turned in a 'flowers' type video last week [and since no one else has said it, a not so good one] but do not consider that the final work. For the 'community' category - These pieces: CommunityBeforeCode_loop.mp4, suitable for use at a show table running on a laptop, voice over, no musical background - notice I did not tag this with a license. AOO4_HotTamaleBaby.mp4 and hottamale.mp4 take that basic loop and add a little party music. For the 'features' category - These: NewFeaturesAndEnhancements_loop.mp4 - again, voice over only, note no license AOO_Features_Waltz.mp4, add a nice sound track and pickup my license tag, notice I said MY license tag, I think that is the best way to approach these pieces with CC license material - but that is a subject needing some thought gong forward. In the graphics directory, well, graphics files ;) - some descriptions to follow. So, my vision would be to at the end deliver, somehow, for the projects use an ISO with all the files used to produce the works, this would include the OpenShot and Pitivi (and other) project files, it would include some instructions (which we would build as we do this) on how to make use of the material.

Re: New Features and Enhancements video
OOPS - double post - Just to be clear, the zip file I uploaded today contains nothing that should be considered done - there are lots of issues needing addressed on each before they are ready for use - well, enough to keep a guy busy for a week, at least ;) Please, feel to free to comment on any CHUNK or LOOP file, these are the, IMO, core artifacts on which all he fun stuff hangs.

Howdy, Well, I decided that I could go ahead and let DARPA-NET have another bite at me today, rather then waiting for next week, so took a little walk into town. That and I wanted to cover the basic template first.
