Hello Fedi friends!
Another day of editing and motion graphics ahead - powered by coffee 😅
The other day when we were filming the #EleFediVideos I got in trouble. We had a coffee cup as a prop and I lost count of how many espressos I drank. I think I went up to 7 that day! 😱
Well, I found a solution: I’m borrowing my daughter’s abacus and I’m placing it next to my coffee machine to keep track of how many coffees I’m having.
Wishing you all a lovely day! 🌞

Amazon claims its warehouse robots do not replace human workers, but the figures show they do. What should we do about that? In a more equitable society, with government dominated by workers rather than billionaires, we would tax companies like Amazon heavily so as to support the non-rich more, so that each of them could work fewer hours. That way, increased productivity would benefit everyone who could work.
Amazon says it’s a ‘myth’ that robots kill jobs. Here’s the reality
The company is sending more packages every year – but with fewer fulfillment center workersBenjamin Y Fong (The Guardian)

Really nice walk after the rain.. the leaves are still fresh and new, softly glowing.
I know the English word for " earthy smell after rain" is #petrichor, from Ancient Greek.
But what about the "vibrant colours, soft lighting, extra-loud birdsong"?
Maybe another language has one for this phenomenon? (Looking at you, German!)

Das Bild zeigt eine Straße in einer Stadt, die von farbenfrohen Gebäuden auf beiden Seiten gesäumt ist. Im Vordergrund sind drei Personen zu sehen, die an der Straße arbeiten. Eine Person malt eine weiße Linie auf die Straße, während eine andere ein Fahrrad mit einem Herzsymbol malt. Eine dritte Person steht in der Nähe und beobachtet die Arbeit. Auf der linken Seite des Bildes befindet sich ein großes, braunes Schild mit Text in deutscher Sprache. Der Text lautet: "WARUM HÖRT DER FAHRRADWEG EINFACH HIER AUF? FINDEST DU DOOF? WIR AUCH! WIR MACHEN'S JETZT SELBER 1m FAHRRADWEG KOSTET UNS 1€ UNTERSTÜTZTE UNS HIER". Die Farben im Bild sind lebhaft und die Illustration hat eine cartoonartige Qualität.

I'm just curious about your software setup to produce the video.....only open source or mixed?
Can the workflow be reproduced using only open source software, like @kdenlive and others?
Thank you, have a nice day! 🌞

I will say though looks like you'll just need a bigger abacus soon. Oh wait i was counting the wrong side. 😉.

I can understand, we're all under time and deadlines pressure.
@freehive use only FLOSS software to produce stunning graphics and product videos. Maybe the workflow can be more complex but for sure it seems an alternative way exists. (I'm saying this in general, not pointed to you....don't worry! 😀 )
I'd be curious to know what kind of workflow they use to produce a complex video/project!
