Hi everyone,
are you looking for some interesting things to do during Wikimania
Pre-Conference? Well, perhaps this is for you: on
Thursday
afternoon, we will be hosting a workshop for creating
animated explainer videos for Wikimedia projects:
https://wikimania2015.wikimedia.org/wiki/Workshop_for_Explainer_Videos
Videos have become a popular format for the dissemination of
information - especially short animated explainer videos which
provide a quick overview over complex topics. The same principle
applies to Wikipedia: videos can enrich exisiting content and
provide an entertaining and easily comprehensible access to free
knowledge. Together with experts from the simpleshow foundation
Wikimedia Österreich offers workshops for Wikimedians which are
designed to learn the tricks of the trade of screenwriting for
explainer videos. In the context of this year’s Wikimania we are
happy to host such a workshop for the international community
.
Content
of the workshop
- Interested participants will learn the basic skills for
creating plots of explainer videos: how to explain complex
topics in a short and comprehensible way, how to work with
cut-out animation, storyboard conception and visualization
- The participants create and refine their scripts and
storyboards together with the simpleshow foundation after the
workshop
- The realization and production of the finished storyboard
will be done by the simpleshow foundation, the result will be
published under the CC-BY-SA license on Wikimedia Commons
- The screenwriters can use the videos for Wikipedia articles
and other purposes
What do you
