Revision as of 01:09, 26 July 2008
Contents
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)

16:30 < pxegeek> 'morning rore 16:31 < pxegeek> Did I ever ask you if we could use your cat picture in the demo reel? 16:41 < rore> pxegeek: maybe you did, I don't remember, but sure you can use it ;)

07:01 * AkhIL proposes his mouse, eclipse and flower to demoreel 07:05 < pixelgeek> AkhIL: would definitely welcome mouse, eclipse and flowers 07:06 < pixelgeek> Could we render a version without the text? 07:06 < AkhIL> yes 07:06 < AkhIL> are you have sources? 07:07 < pixelgeek> AkhIL: no 07:08 < pixelgeek> I could probably find the ones you've linked, but if you have the links handy... 07:08 < AkhIL> I'll reshare it
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).
- try^d has a song that is similar to this as well: http://www.jamendo.com/en/download/track/26747 JavaJake
- 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?
