Hi Andrea,

we put the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDRkgsvhSoc&context= C4086ab9ADvjVQa1PpcFMLMhoOUHhvrmsWGnsqYs26ELZzWW_hDSs= and will put as well on wikilovesmonuments.it tomorrow evening.
Congrats for this great adaptation!
Could you please write me (in private, if you prefer) some info about the original video (you did it for the museum you work for)?
The video is an initiative from http://lemuseelibre.com.
It has not been paid or "ordered" by any museum -- and sadly enough, I don't work for any museum :)
lemuseelibre.com is an informal network of people who try to give access to cultural heritage on the web by releasing free content (i.e. CC-by-sa). So we are very much in line with the purpose of WLM -- except that contributions can go anywhere, not on Commons only (the only rule is that they must be free/CC-by-sa.)
The network is open to any idea from people who are in touch with museums/institutions/cities and want to contribute. The drive behind it was that, for such projects, multiple skills are required (filming, taking photos, putting stuff online on Commons, doing screencasts, etc.) so it's better to gather people from various background.
Thanks are starting slowly, but I'm confident they will grow.
Saturday Lodewjik was in Italy so we discussed also about this.
- Wikimedia Italia will surely pay for a screencast, a very simple
video tutorial for showing the upload procedure. We'll make it at the end of August, when the tools and Upload Wizard will be ready
- as WMI, we tried to contact Common Craft (http://
www.commoncraft.com/) via WMF, but it seems the contacts with them are lost. Moreover, I think the video would be awesome but expensive: if any chapter is interested in stepping in, we try.
- for any video/screencast/tutorial, it would be *awesome* to have
the storyboard and raw materials ** free ** editable For example, if animation or screenshot would be PSD files, they could be edited with Photoshop and quickly localised.
This sounds great.
Let me know how it goes and if people from lemuseelibre.com can help, they will do!
All best,
