Минулого року Фонд Вікімедія опублікував свій перший відеозвіт з розповіддю про деякі значні події 2014 року з точки зору Вікіпедії. Цього року ми надаємо кожному можливість взяти участь в створенні відеозвіту 2015 наданням ідей чи підготовкою відео. Це є ваша можливість допомогти нам сформувати розповідь про події 2015 року.
Минулорічне відео було зроблене в основному мною самостійно та іншим редактором протягом 8 тижнів в кінці 2014 року. Я витратив половину цього часу на пошук новин, їх оцінок на лічильниках редагувань на сторінках Вікіпедії та на пошук зображень щоб проілюструвати ці події. Після цього мені залишалося тільки вставити це в відео. Коли ми опублікували відео реакція преси та Iінтернет-спільноти була позитивною. Я вважаю що #Edit2014 був гарним початком і я задоволений кінцевим результатом, але я би хотів дещо покращити в #Edit2015.
План такий

Відкрите співробітництво: Я роблю доступним весь процес подання ідей та створення відеозвіту (пошук новин, написання скриптів, мозковий штурм, пошук зображень чи відео) #Edit2015 для вікіспільноти. В якості зразка кінцевого продукту в нас є #Edit2014; з нього я зрозумів що треба слідувати правилу "приділяти кожній новині 5 секунд, а потім переходити до іншої". Якщо помножити ці 5 секунд на приблизно 20 новин, то значить відео буде десь тривалістю в дві хвилини з усіма титрами, емблемами і заголовками. Якщо ви подивитесь інші річні звіти (наприклад Пошук в гуглі за рік), то ви побачите як можна розповісти про новину за 5 секунд та перейти до іншої.
First drafts of #Edit2014 were half global news and half wiki-world news. I wanted to showcase as many Wikimedia tools, events and projects as possible. What I found was that since this is for a wide audience, and it's only a few short minutes long, we only have a chance to communicate one or two new ideas (for an ordinary person who uses the internet), so we had to be very selective about what was showcased. In this case, it was a chance to talk about the edit button and Wiki Loves Monuments briefly. Then we have to get back to those global shared news events that the public may have experienced. Aspects like 'going down the rabbit hole,' clicking link after link, was something that ordinary people were familiar with, so this is something we used to bridge stories.
The idea-development and pre-production process does not require any fancy video equipment — just a wiki page and an internet connection. I used post-it notes on my wall to organize my ideas. I think that we — that is, the Wikimedia crowd — can be very good at story development and collaboration. I've been collecting imagery and ideas online, and I'd like to allow anyone to use this space as a place to collaborate on this project.
An idea I had for this year is to somehow showcase the talk pages about Wikipedia articles, to show how we arrive at consensus and a neutral-point-of-view. Finding the right article(s) and talk page quotes to use to illustrate that would be key. Last year, we showcased the edit button using the 2014 Israel-Gaza conflict. For that, we see closeups of 'citation needed' and 'disputed-discuss' then we cut to the different languages of that article. Imagine if you saw a tiny fraction of the behind-the scenes talk about an article like that and how it aims for objectivity?
Rules: These are some basic criteria I made to guide what content got into #Edit2014:
- Has the event made it to the international press or wide regional press?
- Does the event have corresponding view or edit counts?
- Do we have freely licensed imagery for the event?
- Was there a special circumstance about this event per Wikimedia projects?
- Does this illustrate some aspect of Wikimedia that the public should know?
- Is the media beautiful?
- Does the Wikimedia Foundation legal team approve of the media?
- Do we have some media and news from every major region of the world?
As for production and post-production - Continuity, music, audio mixing, et cetera are all things that should ideally be online and in a collaborative manner but currently there is no system in place to collaborate on those things using Wikimedia projects. I'd love to develop that system, but I don't think that it is practical for this year. I'd also like to aim to make the video as close to 2 minutes in length as possible.
Schedule: So the logical publication date for #Edit2015 is December 15th because that's when the press, who would republish and spread the video on social media, are still at work and this is an easy story for them to publish before they go on vacation at the end of December. Getting this in the press gets more eyeballs on the video. That means that actual video editing should be well on its way in October and November. This is my current schedule (for now):
- Brainstorm and pre-production: now - October 1st
- Production (assemble the footage): October 1st - November 15th
- Post-Production (lock all the details): November 15th - December 1st
- Distribution (captions and translations, thumbnails, text copy, uploading, and any last-minute edits): December 1st - December 15th
Internationalism: My biggest problem with #Edit2014 was that so much of it was in English. While we tried to cover as many regions and languages as possible, a non-English speaker probably had to watch it with the captions on — and then your eyes are stuck reading text on the bottom of the screen rather than viewing the interplay of images and text. I think that opening up the development and pre-production phase would flatten out the perspective quite a bit, or at least help to point out flaws and suggest other ideas. We shouldn't have to rely on captions to make it universally understandable, and since we'll be jumping from one story to the next in 5 seconds, we can express a story in any local language. There may also be 'universal' communication media like video, imagery or numbers that are associated with the text that they can understand.
Media Content: There are a few sources for freely-licensed imagery that we can use for #Edit 2015: still imagery, video imagery, Wikimedia project pages, audio, and imagery we make ourselves. I'd love if we could somehow have more audio/video content for #Edit2015. I looked for freely-licensed video and .gifs on Wikimedia Commons, Vimeo, Internet Archive and YouTube, and I know there are many more I could have used. The first few versions of #Edit2014 incorporated more video than the final cut did, but much was cut out because it was too busy or complicated to communicate an idea quickly. Sometimes a still frame of a Wikipedia article or a still photo might communicate the idea more neutrally or succinctly than portions of freely-licensed videos could.
For every still image you see in #Edit2014, there's probably 10 more that didn't make the final cut. It took a lot of research to find appropriate and compelling imagery. Here are a few videos I went so far as to migrate to Commons while I was looking for material that might work for #Edit2014 — hopefully you can see how a still frame of a Wikipedia article or a still photo might communicate the idea more neutrally or succinctly than portions of these freely-licensed videos could:
-
There is a shot of a Ukrainian flag here from 0:35-0:39, but the flag is small in the frame, and the trees in the foreground are somewhat distracting.
-
This focused this protest too much on a conflict instead of free speech. I thought that having some still images of the protests themselves would work better.
-
This video needed more context to understand what it was—a small incident of a much larger story, and the aspect ratio and darkness were visually difficult.
-
This looked great, and NASA released it in 2014, but it depicts 2006.
Ось декілька зображень, які потрапили до останнього відбору:
-
На жаль, кращого вільного зображення для ілюстрації Mars Orbiter Mission не існувало, тому був використаний цей рендеринг. -
This clearly explained a Russian Olympic victory, and suggested that Russia was the winner of most medals of the 2014 Olympics, which it was. -
This 2.5D image was created by a volunteer, using an entry from Wiki Loves Monuments.
-
Це зображення явно пояснює перемогу Німеччини у Чемпіонаті світу -
This image only needed to be flipped to make the 'UKRAINE' readable. It also explained a major event succinctly, other images of crowds were very busy.
I'm very optimistic that this will be a fruitful initiative, and I can't wait to see all the usernames of everyone who contributes. Please share this link with your friends. Let's collaborate and tell the story of Wikipedia and 2015 together.
