Hello Pablo,

It sounds exciting. At the moment let's keep the two lists posted .For the features I think we can 
simply take tge ones listed in the future release notes of the upcoming 4.1. For the voice if no 
one else volunteers I will be happy to do it.

Keep in mind that people will want to add their own languages as a voice over, so we'll have to 
keep the Native Language teams in the loop.

Thanks!

Charles.

Hi Charles,
I changed the subject, I hope this is ok. Also, wich mailing list is
the
proper for this topic? Both?

Sure, thanks for being around :-)
A radical change is not going to happen, at least not "overnight"  .
We
are aiming at changing things bits by bits.

But your skills can be very useful to the LibreOffice project starting
even today: doing a set of  promotional videos of some simple use
cases
"how do I do this or that" is a great thing to have. Would you be
interested?

Thanks,

Charles.

Sure! Use-cases videos are very interesting. They would work as
promotion
as well as teaching users features they may not know, or they don't
know
how usefull they are. (surprisingly many of them, even the simpler as
the
styles menu).

My proposal is a series of motion-graphics videos, made with Blender3D
software, in wich the LibreOffice interface is animated as in a
screencast.
A voice over could explain the steps for some basic taks (formatting
text,
creating a presentation, etc) and maybe some advanced ones.

There's a great example on Gnome3 videos, made by Jakub Steiner. He
also
did tutorials with them on motion graphics with Blender:

Proposed pipeline:
1. Script (including voice-over if any)
2. Storyboard
3. Gather official images of the interface elements and menus.
Vectorial
files? Or just screenshots?
4. Record a rough version of the voice-over (if any) in order to get
the
timing for the animation.
5. Import the interface graphics as textures in Blender with
'Import-as-plane' addon.
6. Animation. Note possible voice-over adjustments.
7. Final voice-over recording.
8. Soundtrack (?)
9. Final render in image sequence. Convert with avconv to standard and
web
video formats.

I will be able to commit to this during July-August. Meanwhile we can
work
on the script, deciding wich features or workflows should be shown.

I could work by my own on the steps about storyboard and Blender
animation
but I would need help with sound recording and step 3.

Who's up? ;)

Cheers,
Pablo.
