Submit your video for review (e.g., an AVI or a link to youtube).

You may be asked to assign full rights to your video so we can use it for promotional purposes, which will require having your parents sign a paper. This is only necessary in some instances, though, so we'll let you know. However, it does mean that you cannot just use content you find on the web in your video -- you must have the appropriate rights to any artwork, audio, or visuals that are included in your video. If you create the video from scratch, you have nothing to worry about. ;)

Sean on December 12 2014 05:00 UTChave the right idea

Ekamjot, you are definitely on the right track here. However, a few technical changes will make this really stand out and be useful:

The intro is unnecessary/too long. The initial 25 seconds merely says "Loading..." and "BRL-CAD". An intro should be no longer than 5 seconds before providing the viewer with useful information.

For better textual content, I suggest looking at http://en.flossmanuals.net/contributors-guide-to-brl-cad/ where we summarize useful information right there on the first page (Call to Arms). Just be careful to decide whether your audience is users or contributors as that will determine what points you decide to highlight.

You don't want to waste time stating what BRL-CAD is -- that's the first thing everyone sees when they go to our website. Pretty much all the text you have now is merely restating our basic overview. You need content that is not so easily known and not generic in nature.

You have several basic spelling mistakes. That is a show-stopper.

Fix those, and you'll be in a much better position for creating something we can use to promote the project. If you'd like to upload a text transcript of what you intend the displayed text to be, we can gladly give you feedback before you spend time rendering the video.
