election for 2 seats on WMF board...

“For Cause”

Hello everyone, I just uploaded 2 videos here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:This_is_the_Wikimedia_Foundation.we… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQzZI0l3IOw https://vimeo.com/165444283 and here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:This_is_Wikipedia.webm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gi129oEk0M https://vimeo.com/165495822 Each is an attempt to explain the Wikimedia movement in under 2 minutes through the lens of a fundraising appeal. I'd like to be able to make more videos in this style (with burned-in innertitles) in various languages, and I'd like to be able to collaborate and create media with others to do that. I think the way to start that is to draft a tutorial for how to make or fork these so that anyone could make their own version, with their own messaging. This would probably live on the WMF blog, and also on Meta. If such a tutorial would be of interest to you, I'd love to chat - please message me off list. Thank you! -- *Victor Grigas* Storyteller <https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/WPZeroPetition> and Video Content Producer Wikimedia Foundation vgrigas(a)wikimedia.org https://donate.wikimedia.org/

Thanks Victor for sharing it. Awesome work. I shared it on Facebook and got some re-sharing among friends, including one of them saying "some friends says I will not donate because the ads (on Wikipedia) looks scam, and I couldn't persuade them. This video helps me (to explain them how the donation works)." Thanks Andrew too for sharing an English .srt file. This is HUGE help for me, to translate it to Japanese subtitles. Will get prepared asap. -- U:Takot (Takashi Ota) 2016年5月7日(土) 2:14 Andrew Sherman <asherman(a)wikimedia.org>rg>:

To whom uploaded it on to YouTube: I'm pleased if you enable "full-screen" when embedded (it seems not, currently). It is very important when I subtitle it on amara.org (and apparently any other subtitling platform).

For subtitles translators: Uploaded Andrew's transcription on amara.org. http://www.amara.org/en/videos/xEzAkDqhCaqb/en/1329538/ Now it got easier to make subtitles in other languages (and exporting .srt files for uploading on to commons). --Takashi [[U:Takot]] 2016年5月7日(土) 2:14 Andrew Sherman <asherman(a)wikimedia.org>rg>:
