Fun videos, everyone!

Have you thought about using CC licensed images or music in your videos?

[kryptosjay-code]

@mmoreshead that didn't cross my mind let me try that now, thanks for the heads up

@mmoreshead CC was one of the many places I tried searching because I initially wanted to use different software to make the video, but I wasn't able to find the specific type of animations I was looking for on the CC site, I may just need better practice with searching through the site though.

[mmoreshead]

@tyanastone there are lots of sites that host CC licensed material, not just cc.org!

[kgodey]

@ifylala @kryptosjay-code @tyanastone those are fun videos, good effort! However, the aim of this task is to create an informative video that answers a question from our FAQ: https://creativecommons.org/faq/ and should contain the full information from one of our FAQs. I would recommend emphasizing content over style.

Hello! I'm glad to have done this task because I discovered a new passion :). I came here to post my videos and then I read that they should contain the full information from one of the FAQ :O. I adjusted one of them and now it contains the full answer from the CC website to the question: Can I take a CC-licensed work and use it in a different format? Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3MAt3hM_eg

Hey @tyanastone -- there are many many websites that host CC licensed content. Try vimeo or the internet archive or soundcloud or the free music archive!

@kgodey @mmoreshead Kindly review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmHy6RVwltQ&feature=youtu.be

@ifylala the video is listed as private, I recommend making it viewable but unlisted, as @tyanastone did.

@AndrejaP thanks for your submission. I'd suggest thinking about how much and how easily someone viewing the video can learn. While graphics and music are great, a simpler approach may be more meaningful. That said, I'm sure this task has given you plenty of things to think about regarding the larger project, and we look forward to seeing the final application.

@annatuma I have made made it viewable. kindly review.

[AndrejaP]

@annatuma thanks a lot for the feedback. I see your point. I should focus more on user experience.

@kgodey @mmoreshead Kindly review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmHy6RVwltQ&feature=youtu.be

[kgodey]

@ifylala thank you for contributing! I have similar feedback as @annatuma had for @AndrejaP – I'd suggest thinking more about the user experience of someone learning about CC through the video. It would be great if the video focused more on explaining the answer rather than showing the same text as the FAQ with graphics and music. However, this counts as your contribution and we hope that it helps you towards your final application.

This video answers the question "what is creative commons" https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2378324619098878&id=1885614538369891

[kgodey]

Nice work @moreinob! I like the narration. I hope that your contribution helps in your Outreachy final application, let us know if you have any questions about the project.

Hello. :slightly_smiling_face: Here's my video answering the question "Where can I find material offered under a CC Licence" https://promo.com/share/5dc0fb628dad8e2da65f93f4?utm_source=v1_shareDialog2_copy

[kgodey]

Nice work @GettyOrawo!

[mbengtanyi]

For some reason, I interpreted this issue to mean an actual person literally talking about a particular FAQ. I see it differently now from the contributions already made here.

[kgodey]

@mbengtanyi an actual person literally talking about an actual FAQ would be great.

[kgodey]

Since the Outreachy application period is over, I'm going to close this issue.
