Video Tutorials - Who wants to help?
What?
We wanna facilitate fun video tutorials where people can find some answers and/or feel motivated or inspired to participate at Kiez Burn
Why?
So one thing we've noticed in our organization of this magical event, is how many lines of text one needs to read in order to understand anything.
As someone who enjoys a little casual reading, and doesn't want to have that enjoyment crushed by Talk and Goggle Docs, I would love to see a playful and informative program for Video tutorials and information to be set up.
The goal:
The goal is to create more engagement and participation from volunteers
To offer better explanations/ approaches on more complex topics
To whom is this thread?
If you know anything about video or are keen to be involved in other ways (i.e. cameraman, sound, performance, knowledge etc), please reach out here and let's see what we can make.
if you have already a video project in the pipeline; keep on reading
Ideas & Suggestions
My initial thought was to make a universal email address for the youtube channel and make the password available basically to anyone that asks.
we could Use "How we work together" as topic inspirations
we could have, humans, puppets, drawings
videos fun and bizarre
-
Videos could give some light to this kind of thoughts;
- I would like to participate but I have no idea how to begin. I checked realities but I'm not clear how should I proceed afterward.
- I would like to participate but I don't know if this requires time I don't really have
- These guys seem to know a lot and they have great discussions, I don't see how could I be part of it.
-how could I volunteer remotely
videos with a message of support from the community
Stories of participants that got involved for the first time

Do we have any instructionals videos already?

What else do we need to make this happen?

We would eventually need a primary coordinator, someone that manages the emails and is the contact person when someone wants the password to upload their videos on you tube. As well as potentially reviewing and assisting and cleaning the channel. Otherwise, I'm hoping to see this as decentralized as possible to minimize the workload.
The following video from Alex as an example to show how simple getting a camera and talking can be, it needs minimal preparation and follow-up, and involves less people.
All thoughts and feedback would be appreciated. Thank you kindly for your time.

Indeed indeed, I am more in the mindset to let whoever is making the video to decide what kind of a video it will be. My example is just to show how simple getting a camera and talking can be, it needs minimal preparation and follow-up, and involves less people. (OI'm all about saving time these days). Obviously feel free to make whatever video however you want!
Alex Kaos Wed 4 Mar 2020 8:48AM
Legendary. Now we just need a collaborator to help pull all the strings together. I'm personally of the mindset to make this is as simple and fun as possible. I will definiately reach out to you when we make the Finance Tool refund system video. I want that to be pretty good.
If I speak to others who want to make a video, would it be ok if I send them in your direction @Ashley DuPree ? Just to handle the video work?
Ashley DuPree Mon 9 Mar 2020 12:05PM
@Cris yes, I have a Zoom H4N and one wired lapel mic
Alex Kaos Mon 9 Mar 2020 12:05PM
Ok, Meeting confirmed at Ashleys place by Frankfurter Allee U-Bhf, 4pm for a couple of hours to discuss how to move forward, and maybe shoot a quick clip or 2!

The puppet show was actually a joke, but... I do have a whole bag of finger puppets left.

Very cool. Yes that could be exactly what we're looking for. A little more set-up time but way less management time.
We're still going to need the e-mail address to get this ball rolling. If you can set it up and send me the password I am happy to take this one on. I think it's important and would like to see it moving.
Also, I just got promoted at work to the in-house videographer, so I should learn a shit load whilst on the payroll!! Woopee
Alex Kaos Fri 6 Mar 2020 10:19AM
Hey Ashley. I would be free to come play on the 12th from 4pm onwards. I'm super keen to get this ball rolling. I've requested @waldo to get the email set-up, and we can look into his proposal for the decentralized youtube video uploader (https://www.labnol.org/internet/youtube-uploader/29161/). I would be totally down to make at least 1 or two quick videos on Thursday if you have time. For me it's more important that we start as soon as possible. If we can use your good equipment and make a quick-and-dirty cut, we should be able to recruit more people to the cause.
@Veroca R. Sala , I would think that the "How to get involved" video you proposed earlier would be a great start.
walto Fri 6 Mar 2020 2:45PM
I sent you the lastpass invitation to your email @Alexxx . If others need access, let me know, and I will do the same. Added the details regarding the account etc. in the main thread as well.
Veroca R. Sala Fri 6 Mar 2020 3:42PM
@Alexxx and @Ashley DuPree im also available con the 12th around that time. We can do what we can on that day. And then if Ashley is also into something more well produced (as i understood he would like to have some higher quality meterial, and im keen to participate on that too) we can do another session.
So i need clarification if on the 12th we would do
* a small planning meeting Ashley and I (and whoever else) as for establishing the needs of lighting and stuff
* or a first round of couple of videos
Just to know how much time do i have to make the puppets
Veroca R. Sala 路 Tue 3 Mar 2020 8:33PM
@Cris wanted to make of those nice drawings she does... I bet she will show up in this thread sooner or later 馃
puppets look great! I can only offer the finger puppets I got as an award of disgrace on new years. But if someone knows how to make animated videos of the kind would be lovely!
I cant wait to see this creations
