- Concept: We have had 3-4 different suggestions on how this should be
framed and maybe its time to solidify the idea. What do we end up naming it? Do we want to professionally produce it, or have user submitted videos? Will we follow a general guideline for such videos or will it be freeform? This will help people who end up shooting/editing/aggregating video have a clear definition of what needs to be filmed and how it needs to be edited.
User made +1, Professional quality would be better (at least just because my eyes enjoy seeing something smoothly that a low quality video), the only problem is that we need a camera that could be moved around. Another option would be to use 2 or few more places and let someone doing the video there (maybe changing the set).
Maybe a script could be useful, but with just some guidelines that could help the video maker to stay in the topic.
- Content: What do we want to have the people in the video, doing or
saying. What is the message?
We could use the 4Fs and/or the "infinity, freedom, voice" motto. I think those would usefull with the efforts done making those ones a reality, and I'm sure they real represent the Fedora way. Maybe short moments of his/her life and a direct/indirect link with fedora.
I think we have to give a value to what is just done and maybe trying to push it, maybe, improving it.
- Presentation: What is the Visual Motif?
GMail used its logo to link each video. Maria Leandro's video link give another possibility. Personally I think the last idea to connect a body movement (maybe a sort of infinity with the arms could be great, but it's hard to explain without a photo/sketch) with a message is the better one if we want to give a deep/moral impact to the campaign, instead, if it aimed to improve brand/community visibility, try to find something that could let people see the Fedora logo or affine.
