Some visual work was done. The visual team indicated a need to change the second half of the script. In the process of reflecting on the whole goals and how much to fit in the time, this new script above was written. The new script addresses problems with the entire thing. I don't provide it only to use the second half. Please adjust the timing and visuals for the *entire* video to fit the new script and audio which has a much simpler, cleaner flow overall. I'm not okay with cutting the second half of this with any of the parts from earlier scripts. This update is/was a departure (as stated in original post) which does a better job as a complete unit. I look forward to a new draft of visuals matched to just this new script and audio, and we can discuss any feedback then so we can get toward actually finalizing this.

These things can interact and find the right balance. When the final timing of the visuals is set, I can record new audio to match it. So don't take the timing too rigidly from the audio.

Re: [Snowdrift-design] new, short and plain intro video script
Hi everyone, Just wanted to let you know that I'm almost completely free next week. So I plan to focus and work on the Snowdrift video. I hope I can manage to create a first complete visual during this time. I guess not with final graphics, but they can be replaced later on... Johannes Sent from [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.ch), encrypted email based in Switzerland. Original Message Subject: [Snowdrift-design] new, short and plain intro video script Local Time: May 3, 2017 8:27 AM UTC Time: May 3, 2017 6:27 AM From: aa...@snowdrift.coop To: design@lists.snowdrift.coop Hi everyone, Starting a new thread. This new script is a departure from the others. It just focuses more directly on the core concept with near-zero explanation of why it makes sense or is needed. It has no awkward transitions, it's plain and simple. It's so short that I was able to say it in minimal time while still speaking slowly. Although there are reasons I want to communicate more concepts to visitors, I'm very happy with this in how well it communicates the minimal information. There's room for tweaks and re-recording a better final audio, but this should truly be all that's needed for the video team to create a first complete visual. SOME FEEDBACK ON EXISTING VIDEO DRAFT: I'd really like to see more types of logos of project types including visual art / photos / videos even though the audio doesn't mention them. It could be in the mix later when showing general sharing. The audio is just some examples, and if there's more than 4 icon types it will be more clear that there's more than strictly those 4. The icons bouncing around in a city is a good start, but could be improved. The icons like GNU head etc. may be an issue for trademark permissions. The graph stuff is good, but the timing and details will have to be adjusted to the new SCRIPT: 1. Software, music, journalism, research… These things *should* be freely shared as public goods. 2. But keeping exclusive control lets publishers charge for access or show ads. 3. And without those restrictions, projects rarely get enough funding. 4. We need ongoing and widespread cooperation to solve this dilemma. 5. That's why we developed crowd*matching*, 6. where you donate monthly based on the number of patrons giving with you. 7. When a project has few patrons, you donate very little. 8. As the crowd grows, everyone donates more. 9. But you stay in the crowd only if it fits your budget. 10.
