[Bf-webcontent] Demoreel - top or down of page?

[Piotr Arlukowicz]

We need three levels of movies: demo-like with quick huge impact,
feature-like with short explanations of advanced stuff, and long tutorials
series for claryfying the whole areas of Blender.

I think that "feature videos" in the main page are just for another thing:
they should be intended to show quickly what is possible with Blender, not
how exactly things can be done. They aren't supposed to be tutorials (in
that place), but demos. Both will show skill and possibilities. They don't
even need to contain commentary, just the animation/recording/picture is
often enough. I would include for that category also timelapses and some
speed-modelling sessions, along with free, opensource, nice music. That
will stand for first-time, glance-like impressions.

After that we need longer videos, which can be organized in a form of
tutorials or at least more detailed explanations about features.

Things which are mentioned by Gerard are extremally important for good
tutorials targeted to widest possible audience, so we probably need them
not only in English, but also with translations and subtitles. This however
is a tremendous work, which needs to be done in the Future.
