[Bf-education] video project

Thu Jun 14 17:03:23 CEST 2012

   I would like to make a few comments regarding Gabriel's last communique.  First, which language to use?  If English is not your first language then it might be better to subtitle it.  Dialects and accents sometimes are hard to understand.  I also speak Japanese and have come across this problem myself.  I might think my Japanese accent is pretty good until I get that puzzled look--Lol!  My second comment is on video.  A low-res production does very little to communicate or teach.  Hi-Res (740 or 1080) really helps.  

   I have been working and following Blender since Vol 1.0 in the Dos format.  It was a very difficult program to understand back then.  I have taught Blender to both the high school and adult levels.  But only a few of my students have ever gone beyond the basics.  Modeling will determine their interest and art skills.  Programming (python) will determine their patience and ability to add dimension to their work.  Those students you don't encourage and set out to experiment on their own are probably the ones you can add techniques and skills.

   This will be my last post from this email site.  I'm leaving this school and will be venturing out to do consulting and a little part-time teaching.  I will hook up from promero.media at gmail.com.  I am leaving after developing the four-year curriculum for this high school's program.  Students are learning digital photography, Adobe programs, graphic design, optic engineering, digital video production, editing and special effects, motion capture and compositing, and finally HCI (Human Computer Interface.)  It's time for me to move on to new adventures.  I will stay in touch with this group but I think this email site will be turned off after Friday, June 8th.  See you all on my new site.

Gabriel Gmez,
     Speaking for myself I say the more the merrier, the more thorough the better, be specific and again thorough, zoom in on certain areas during your videos especially if your scripting -we need to be able to see what you are doing. I suggest that any video you do, actually do it before hand so you can show us at the beginning what it is you are going to demonstrate. It would also be helpful if at the beginning you were to list in order, the concepts to be learned. Finally, at the end, show us the completed project or animation that you just did, people want to see the final result of what they watched. Ok, so I know no one ever does this on youtube. The vast majority (99 percent) of people who demonstrate on Youtube are not teachers. I am.

Hello,

My name is Gabriel G?mez from Spain. I has been a blender user from 2006,
but I never show my work for being so exigent with myself.

In public form I send some bugs to the tracker and collaborate scripting
with Blender Bzoo project.

I teach to some blender users in private form using online streaming. I
worked like teacher in 2002, but in the latest years (five) I'm working
like IT technician. I wish take a step forward and take the opportunity of
obtain the trainer certificate this summer.

 For the moment I had a question: I will make video tutorials and I wish
know If it's necessary the language spoken must be in English. I will
subtle it anyway.

Thanks.
