Status: ClosedTime to complete: 72 hrs Mentors: SeanTags:

BRL-CAD has a lot of great features that can be highlighted. A motion typography video highlighting these features would be a wonderful addition to the front page of website.

This task requires you to create a motion typography video that will convince user to give BRL-CAD a try, it could be titled something like ''x reasons to choose BRL-CAD'' or anything similar (give your creative minds a flight). The video should not be more than 2 minutes.

For inspiration about what a motion typography, see:

I would like to work on this task.

Luke Blueon November 20 2013 03:01 UTC

Do we need to narrate?

Sean on November 20 2013 03:09 UTCTask Assigned

This task has been assigned to Luke Blue. You have 72 hours to complete this task, good luck!

Sean on November 20 2013 03:17 UTCkinda hard

Kind of hard to create a typography without narration. I suggest narrating yourself and if it's a good story, we can replace the audio later or maybe you'll surprise yourself. Can also get a friend.

If you like, you can write up the story first to get feedback.

--------------------------------

I came up with this story, any feedback or suggestion?

ThankYou.

Harmanpreet on November 20 2013 04:59 UTCGood to go

Don't know about other mentors, but from my side, it is excellent. However, you may need to put more content into it later but it looks enough to start with.

Take care of spellings and grammatical things.

Sean on November 20 2013 05:40 UTCfantastic

That is great start and ditto what Harmanpreet said. Excellent start. However, it feels like you cut the story just a little short. You want to end on really strong points and I'd like to not have that be our military connections. The emphasis should be on being free and open source, or that we have a community of contributors around the world, or that BRL-CAD's one of the world's oldest or some other impressive statistic.

You might be able to get some ideas and inspiration from our recent book creation:

http://flossmanuals.net/contributors-guide-to-brl-cad/

You do have numerous spelling, grammar, and other typography errors (capitalization, punctuation, ...), so you will definitely want to correct those. Having typography errors in a typography video ... wouldn't be good as you can probably imagine! :)

Keep track of how long you spend working on the script. We can break this task up into two tasks (one to create the script, a second to create the video) if needed.

Luke Blueon November 20 2013 07:31 UTCSorry

Sorry for grammatical errors, I made the script really fast and forgot to pay attention to grammar. Breaking the task would be great as this is long task and making script would take a good amount of time.

Kesha Shah on December 5 2013 09:24 UTCGood Work

Good Work Marie Gita. But, it would be great if you can add naration in background or even adding a soft note of some musical tone will make it better.
