Hey guys, I'm Jakub Szypulka, on the one hand a Tango icon designer, thus a member of the open source community, on the other hand a videographer and composer. For the last Libre Graphics Meeting (a conference on open source graphic design), which also happened to be in Brussels last year, I shot a film which you can see here http://vimeo.com/18568225 . As you can see, it is entirely different from static tripod recordings of the talks, which serve a completely different purpose. The goal of the recordings is to provide a means for people who cannot attend the conference but would like to see the speeches or for archival purposes, whereas the film I shot let's people, attendee or not, grasp a glimpse of the atmosphere at the conference. This is especially nice to watch months after a conference. As you can also see, there are maybe 15 seconds total of actual speech scenes, and everything else is from meeting, workshops and simple human interactions. tl;dr: Would the FOSDEM be interested in a film like the one the Libre Graphics Meeting got here http://vimeo.com/18568225 ? Thanks, Jake
Good work! Nice video quality, interesting angles and approaches, good music, smooth editing, sustained rhythm... I'm quite impressed! John Seifarth Words & Wires SPRL On 18 Jan 2011, at 17:16, Jakub Szypulka wrote:

Hi Jakub,
The goal of the recordings is to provide a means for people who cannot attend the conference but would like to see the speeches or for archival purposes, whereas the film I shot let's people, attendee or not, grasp a glimpse of the atmosphere at the conference. This is especially nice to watch months after a conference.
<silence> I just watched that movie and it's indeed very well done. Both the quailty of the image (colors, light,..) and the "storyline" kept me watching untill the end.
tl;dr: Would the FOSDEM be interested in a film like the one the Libre Graphics Meeting got here http://vimeo.com/18568225 ?
Certainly ! We tried to do this in the past and captured some video fragments of the atmosphere but noone was able to make something usable like you did. Such a video/movie, if it's created, will very probably find its way on the website and the YouTube FOSDEMtalks channel (http://www.youtube.com/fosdemtalks)

Wohaaa. This is just excellent. Just out of curiosity what software stack have you used for post-production? -- Dodji
Thanks to all you guys! I used Kdenlive (astonishing software, albeit a few bugs) and some Audacity for audio enhancements. Jake 2011/1/18 Dodji Seketeli <dodji@seketeli.org>:

You deserve the praise, as far as I am concerned.

I know you probably didn't mean a full-fledged speech by that, but if proposals are still being taken (not sure how far and definite you are with your program at this moment), I'd be more than willing to talk about open source video editing software from the point of view of an artist, about the availability of the software in general, my experiences as a first time user, the transition progress from commercial software and how it can be improved, and what needs to be done in this area in general, because, while keeping in mind all the tremendous work by coders and other people in that area, there is a lot that can be done. I believe that especially advanced video editing has been lacking behind raster and vector editing, desktop publishing, web publishing and pretty much any other possible kind of authoring software in the open source world. I think that especially because this information needs to reach developers, this conference would be a perfect place. Would be glad to hear some feedback about this. Also, how long are your speeches? The normal size, i.e. 30min-60min, or additionally short speeches, from 5-20min? Jake 2011/1/18 Dodji Seketeli <dodji@seketeli.org>:

The deadline for lightning talks ended in December according to [1]; the one for talks before that. Personally, I would probably attend such a talk next year. I would be sure to watch the video. As an aside, it might make sense to include information about the software you used, that's it's Free/Libre, maybe even what means and where to get said software. The more artsy anything is the more chances it has to reach non-geeks and the more people know about FLOSS the better. Richard [1] http://fosdem.org/2011/call_for_lightningtalks
