I’d say we publish videos only by ourselves, or by members that want to publish through the channel. Ideally this would be a fantastic way for us to generate content for everyone where the creators would be approachable.
For adding existing videos to any playlists, I’d say we open that to anyone who is producing great content! Amplifying good content for others can only help to raise awareness of the projects and people that produce.
The playlists should be curated, in my opinion. It’s vital to present our best efforts to the world at large (the public doesn’t need another video on how to make a forum signature banner…).
I think given the wonderful responses and engagement in threads like the one from @Elle recently about Eggleston, I’d opt for any content that is quality, and related to the arts we support here. To wit:
Film analysis, interviews, and other content that we can legally share and use would be awesome, and doesn’t necessarily have to be purely about Free Software. There’s quite a few great videos on posing for portraiture, and lighting setups that I like that would be better if we had a free version, but for now we can certainly include them in a playlist.
As for the what, that’s a good question. I suppose we could look at what type of questions come up here, or what some broad common questions might be about, and craft playlists around that. So some thoughts possibly:
- Landscape shooting
- Portrait shooting
- Off-camera flash setups
- Post-processing
- etc?
