Goal

Produce a demo reel for display on Youtube, revver, etc to showcase the capabilities of Synfig, and generate interest in the community of artists and coders to use and improve Synfig. Ideally the whole video could be produced in Synfig (excluding audio).

Proposed screenplay

Unless otherwise stated the source is from the Synfig examples. There seems to be a recurring theme of 'eyes' here, so the tentative working title is 'The Eye's have it'.

Introduction

Open with

  • Cutscene by genete

then an animated figure synched to some speech - "Welcome to the Synfig Demo Reel" (I have something in the works for this one)

Either - Cover the basics - shapes, lines, filters, distortions, transforms, etc, or just launch straight into a slide show of still images.

For this step you could add some stills (or capture videos) of close ups of the GUI using he main important synfig features (parameter list, keyframes, navigator, waypoints, gradients, effects, curves...)--Genete 13:30, 21 November 2007 (EST)

Stills

  • Gradients.sif
  • wallpaper/backdrop.sif

Some combination of zooming in and out on the eyes of the following to demonstrate that Synfig is vector based and looks good at any resolution:-

  • Rore's Cat
  • Tux
  • prologuekid.sif
  • pirate.sif
  • Macwolfen.sif
  • New Julia/newjulia2.sif


Transition to -

Animations

  • Credits
  • links to Prologue, Werewolf, Light pen

Various transitions

  • handwritten 'synfig' by dooglus (YouTube | sifz)
  • Lightning by genete
  • Eclipse by AkhIL

Other thoughts

Music? If some of the more musical amongst us are willing to share their music -

  • Madsen has some funky music that I can't begin to describe, and some nice electronic stuff also (e.g. http://laxness101.lillesvin.net/strg/lax-Lay.mp3).
  • Ulrik has some accordian music that may not be to everyone's taste ;) and some great piano music at http://www.musikboden.se/mymusic/solopiano/solopiano.html (yes, I'm biased - I only try to play piano).
  • If we want to go up tempo, Ceox has some nice synth music that I think would work well. (Oxysphere?)
  • I could make a new song for the reel by making a whole new song or making customized versions of older songs. Regards, Ceox

What did I miss?
