Re: [Debconf-video] Training video content



> Does anyone have a vision for what the videos(s) would cover?

I think making 1 video that tries to cover everything is a mistake.
Volunteers might just want to learn the basics of using the cameras, or
just using the audio mixer.

Making 1 long coherent video is also much harder and if we change part
of our setup we are screwed and need to retape the whole thing.

So I guess we could go:

1 - How to use a camera & helpful camera (magic) tricks.
2 - Audio mixers: become a sound wizard under 10 minutes.
3 - Mixing video is not sorcery! A voctomix how-to.
4 - Using SReview ... I can't find a nice magic related pun :(

I think those would cover most of the important stuff.

> how long it will be

I think the maximum length is 10 minutes. For business reasons, most
YouTube videos are now 10 minutes long and people are used to watch
videos that long.

I think having something longer will deter people. Short of a max of 10
minutes, I guess it should depend on the content.

The main problem I see with making those videos is that they will depend
a lot on our actual gear. We should try to make them as general as possible.

Oh, and finally I think most of the videos runtime should be voice-over.
That way we can remix much more easily to get a nice and clear final
video. If need be, only voice has to change if we make a mistake,
instead of having to film someone all over again.
