    Hi everyone, we have a cool remix of the Write and Plant video from our great and wonderful Phil Rudler! He gave us this (f)remix, containing only the Earth.org core info. This way we can use it everywhere where we want to explain the core essence of our project. Link it :)

    Videoguy needs your feedback. 

    Hello.

    I created an animated storyboard for the upcoming video about write and plant.
    Before I go ahead designing stuff I need your feedback. Please show the storyboard to someone who isn’t aware of earth.org yet and ask him/her…

    1) …whether the story is clear for him/her?

    2) …whether the thing with the Web 2.0 tree is somehow funny? ;-)

    Thanks to every comment in advance!

    CLICK HERE FOR THE VIDEO

    Hope you guys are fine out there.

    phil

      SUPER COOL! SPITZE! No comments :-)
      ps: Yes, the web 2.0 tree is funny – as in the web you have so many virtual currencys, (karma) points, etc. We have the rule: Every communication message on Earth.org is to be understood by at least 90% of our audience – I guess this is the case here, even if most users will not know the term “web 2.0″.

      Whow, really great video!!!! Big compliments to Phil!
      I’d go with the non web 2.0 tree, the extra wording that it’s not virtual makes it quite clear!

      Wow, i like this style of videos. This is really great!
      The only question my friends asked was like: „what is a web 2.0 tree?“ And they know what web 2.0 is ;)

      Hi Phil, cool first draft indeed :) I like the intro of Earth.org a lot!

      So I asked three people coming up with the following results:

      1. two out of three get the concept immediately and one was not sure if it was immediately clear to other people.
      2. one did not understand the “tree 2.0″, one kind of got it, and one got it (but was unsure if others would)

      -> could be an idea to call it a ‘virtual’ tree instead of ‘tree 2.0′?

      • Rob 1:04 pm on November 4, 2009 Permalink | Log in to Reply

        Ahh just hear you saying “virtual” Sorry :)

        Another feedback (nr4): if the video is shown to people that are not on Earth.org and know nothing of the concept -> is then the introduction clear enough?

        -> If this is a shared point of attention, it might be solved by visualization (something added to the row of silhouetes or something…) I would not make it longer anyway.

        • phil 6:15 pm on November 4, 2009 Permalink | Log in to Reply

          yeah, that was also one issue I found myself dealing with (feedback nr4)…
          I’m not sure if I get you right – you think by adding something to the silhouttes it would be more clear that the viewer is part of it? Like a computer e.g.?

          about the tree… maybe I should switch to “virtual” only… I mean, I showed it also to some other web geeks and they all told me that it is clear but could be a problem for others… “virtual” alone could solve the problem…

    • ute 2:03 pm on November 4, 2009 Permalink | Log in to Reply

      yes, i like, i like. Agree that Tree 2.0 is an odd reference and would also call it a virtual or cyber tree.

    • valentin 2:11 pm on November 4, 2009 Permalink | Log in to Reply

      love it! phil, great stuff. also think cyber tree would be better (sounds funnier than web20 to me) AND
      i would not let people wait till almost half of the vid to reveal the w&p stuff. there are many travel guides but there is only one w&p out there. i am afraid that people turn the vid off to quickly?

      • phil 6:09 pm on November 4, 2009 Permalink | Log in to Reply

        Good point. Maybe I could start with the WnP logo to get the attention about the project and then start explaining what it is about. I’ll try that! thanks.

      • alfreda 8:16 am on November 5, 2009 Permalink | Log in to Reply

        yes agree to the introduction (or perhaps the whole video?) being too long for me i got the tree part, but couldn’t really connect the “write” part.. maybe i take things too literally.. my 2 cents, will wait for next revision. :)

      nice storyline. still needs some tempo or at least crescendo/allegro parts, as its still too uniform in perception. and of course differnt music. you should check whats out as creative commons music like sojusrecords.com or at jamendo, blueorangerecords.com

      • phil 6:08 pm on November 4, 2009 Permalink | Log in to Reply

        Well, I hope you are aware of the fact that this is not the final animation. It’s just some kind of storyboard which should help developing the story. I will add some smooth dynamic animation later.
        And I don’t get why you say “of course different music” – can you explain that a bit more? The music in the draft is created by me with the help of royality free samples.

        • kosmar 9:05 pm on November 4, 2009 Permalink | Log in to Reply

          sure. i just felt like the music being too smooth. it cool if you want to work on the music yourself – anyway creative commons music would also go well with the creative commons asprecte of earth.org. thats the background.

        • Vadim Zhernovoi 10:14 am on November 5, 2009 Permalink | Log in to Reply

          I disagree, i like the music very much! It gives the whole video a special warm flair, so you have my 100% yes for it.

      LOVE this! It is cute, simple (without being too simplistic) and I like the Tree 2.0…. It’s pretty clear that the point of the joke is ‘There’s nothing virtual about your contribution’ (right? :-) )

      Nice phil … good thing you said its just a storyboard. Its so good someone could think it was final :-)

      Yo Phil, cool video! I’ma let you finish, but Beyonce has one of the best videos of all time! :D
      Really nice already, I’m looking forward the next version – nothing else to add that wasn’t said before.

        Kanye West is an eternal source of inspiration and we should give him an honorary position in our team.

        Something like video manager or maybe he could even be our main spokesperson! I already envision him showing up at all the interweb events shouting out how great Earth.org is :)

      Phil the video is great! Super clear and motivating! 1 step for an Earth.org contributor = 1 tree for a sustainable world

    Earth.org has gone Google. Why? 

    In the very early stage of Earth.org we’ve started using Google Apps. Why?

    A 100% remote team needs some easy tools to share and store stuff (Docs&Spreadsheets), to communicate (Gmail) and to organize everything (Calendar).

    A few days ago Google has launched a small campaign asking companies: “Who has gone Google?” -

    Well, and we do so! And we thought: why not shooting a short clip explaining why Earth.org has gone Google!?

    So here we go :-D

    We have sent that video to Google – and hey, maybe there’s a chance that it will be featured somewhere on their site or blog…
    ;-) And maybe in the future we will show you the unofficial outtakes of Otto shooting the video in Bali, Indonesia. Hehe.

    heidiho. just talked to Phil, a former colleague from university. He is graphic designer, VJ and producing motion graphics; aaand he seems to be interested in a Write&Plant video… let’s see. I will talk to him this weekend again.
    I just found a “shorty short” clip by Phil: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=49697649
    And this is his website ;-) http://www.rudler.at/

    I’m putting together a small document for video ideas. A place to drop ideas, open for video volunteers to pick up.

      yay, cross-posting from Yammer ;-)
      I would really like to visualize how we work at Earth.org, and just stumbled upon this nice intro video: http://www.travelvolunteersearch.com/ Maybe there is a way to show team members’ locations and the thousands of kilometres of distances between… with pics and short statements + job description of each team member….remote work is an important topic!!

    • valentin 4:25 pm on September 9, 2009 Permalink | Log in to Reply

      why don’t we do a blog post on here instead of a document? just an idea.

    • Rob 5:05 pm on September 9, 2009 Permalink | Log in to Reply

      @teresa: Nice idea, I’ll definately place it on there.
      @valentin: I want to keep it a running document actually… A blogpost with a long list of comments would maybe become a bit difficult to follow?
