Dear all,
*message attached below*
FYI. I do recollect there being a thread where many of us gave suggestions
on what videos we should have, especially for outreach in Indian languages.
It would be great if we could propose them here and someone can pick them
up to make a video.
Best,
Noopur

Hello everyone on ComCom,
Last year (2012) along with the fundraising team and a few contractors we
interviewed 100 Wikipedians at Wikimania which resulted in an awareness
campaign launched in US, UK, NZ, AU & CA:
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Thank_You_All
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Thank_You_Main
Almost all the feedback was positive, and we learned alot. (thank you
again to those on this list who were in it)
This year (2013) I'm aiming to make (and help others to make) a 2 minute
video that hopefully 'goes viral' and makes the world laugh, cry and *learn
all about Wikipedia*. In order to do that I'm going to be engaging and
collaborating with professional producers from all around the world and
producing many videos that cover a wide range of content and style.
Here is an example:
Right now we have a small test running for the Valentine's Day holiday
which went out in an email to several thousand U.S.-only donors:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLHZUIVdPU0
Sadly, we have only so much of a budget to work with. Videos can be
expensive to produce and I am but one lone dude and I don't scale.
Solution!:
So I'm looking for professional film/video/creative volunteers to help:
*If you know any video agencies or individual producers, camera
operators, motion graphics artists, et cetera who like Wikipedia enough to
be willing to donate their services to promote and inform the world about
Wikipedia, please connect me with them.*
Also, since Wikipedia is open and collaborative, I thought that video
collaboration should also be left open to the community, so I just wrote
this on the Village Pump Idea Lab:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(idea_lab)#Community-Dr…
It is a proposal to create a forum where anyone can propose ideas that
should be made into video. Those ideas can be polished and then a producer
who is willing to volunteer (Wikipedian or otherwise) can read through
scripts and produce the content they want to.
This forum would serve video production on Wikipedia generally, not just
for the work that i'm doing.
Thanks for reading & I'd be happy to know your thoughts.
Victor
