Workshop: Promoting Free Software Through Video

Personal experiences from creating promotional videos for GNOME

Visual communication is a strong way to send a message when shared and spread across the internet. I'll talk primarily about my experience from creating promotional videos for GNOME and take you behind the scenes on how the videos are created.

My name is Bastian and I've been part of GNOMEs engagement team for approximately a year or two. I want to promote the usage of a free desktop and this led me to start creating promotional videos. When GNOME 3.12 was released, a release video was released on social media which since then has gained more than 50,000 views and 400 comments. That's why I believe creating promotional videos and communicating through video is an important way to engage with your users and spread the word about a free software project. They are entertaining and creates immersion.

In this talk I'll show bits from the videos I have produced for GNOME and give a tour of the different stages there is to creating a typical I will also elaborate on some techniques which can be used to spice up the videos and give an insight in the (free) software I use to design and create them in.
