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:

Ekamjot, I suggest submitting a text file transcript for the video (like a screen play) before re-rendering a second video.

This looks okay, but there are several points of improvement I see in the technical execution:

broken glass is rather awkward (what does broken glass have to do with CAD?), difficult to read when there is underlying text, and seems overly distracting

the audio in the final video is very choppy

you take 20 seconds to get to the first point and it's almost impossible to read it

your emphasize bsd, linux, solaris yet not the two most common (mac and windows)

typo on U.S military, rather vague point

one of the fastest solid modeling ray tracers

your closing point is conversion to/from a wide range of formats. this is an empty point without itemizing them all or something.

Again, suggest uploading a transcript first, and then we can review that before you render again.

Yashon January 1 2015 10:37 UTCSorry for taking too much time.

I got busy with school work and also this is the biggest task here which is why I took so much time. I went with the script on the website (which can be surely changed). The music is royalty free so no worries. I will also add voice (not mine) if you like the current video.

I have been working on this for over a week. I can do a 1080p version with 60 FPS if required since YT supports 60 FPS now. Music can be also changed. Would love constructive feedback on this.

Thanks,

Yash.
