Aaron Rincover and I presented this workshop at Seattle Make-a-Thon on November 6, 2010, sponsored by IxDA Seattle, AIGA Seattle, and Interact. When designing interactions that transcend singular devices and form the basis of device ecosystems, wireframes just don’t cut it. Much of the interactions you’re looking to define and refine are evoked through motion, sound, haptics, and other variables that can’t be easily documented without "dancing about architecture." In these situations, it’s often most effective to create video scenarios that describe how an interaction would happen out in the real world. These scenarios are useful not only for explaining ideas to your clients—they’re an effective way of capturing prototypes to see if they make sense and feel real. Over the course of this workshop, we explored the various flavors of video scenario that you can create, depending on the design problems you’re seeking to solve. Then we’ll spent the balance of our time working in small teams to create a short interaction vignette about gestural input to activate a teleportation device.

- 24. A intro B break it down C challenge D solution E show & tell why not use video when prototyping an interaction?
- 25. A intro B break it down C challenge D solution E show & tell • not interactive • hard to edit • disposable • it’s not “real”
- 26. A intro B break it down C challenge D solution E show & tell • time-consuming to make
- 27. A intro B break it down C challenge D solution E show & tell • time-consuming to make
- 28. A intro B break it down C challenge D solution E show & tell example: a teleportation system for easy everyday use on city streets
- 29. A intro B break it down C challenge D solution E show & tell Aaron’s example video scenario: teleportation made easy
- 30. A intro B break it down C challenge D solution E show & tell break it down: video scenario process
- 31. A intro B break it down C challenge D solution E show & tell the process: 1 . plan the shoot 2. make & set-up shoot 3. shoot the scenario 4. evaluate & edit
- 32. A intro B break it down C challenge D solution E show & tell 1. plan the shoot things to consider… • Storyboard • Voiceover/sound • User flows • Schedule • talent • Budget • Props • Video capture • locations • editing methods
- 33. A intro B break it down C challenge D solution E show & tell 1. plan the shoot explore what Ux/UI screens are required
- 34. A intro B break it down C challenge D solution E show & tell 1. plan the shoot the storyboard shows screens in context
- 35. A intro B break it down C challenge D solution E show & tell 1. plan the shoot common shot types: CLOSE-UP OvEr thE ShOULDEr MEDIUM EStABLIShING
- 36. A intro B break it down C challenge D solution E show & tell 1. plan the shoot Your planning should include: • complete storyboard (of every key shot) • Sketched-out flow for required UI screens • required actions per shot: gestures, expressions, person-to-person interaction, devices used • “the hero UI moment” for critical shots • location detail to pre-visualize shot type/angle • Voice-over (we aren’t including today)

- 38. A intro B break it down C challenge D solution E show & tell 2. make & set-up shoot • Draw necessary screens at size • Build devices/props • Set up materials on location • check actual camera angles w/stand-ins • Adjust lighting (outdoors can be easier) • check wardrobe (neutral clothing?)
- 39. A intro B break it down C challenge D solution E show & tell 3. shoot the scenario • Adjust details when appropriate • edit in camera for each shot • Use a tripod • limit location detail • check each shot for technical errors • Shoot duplicate takes for critical shots • have fun!!!

- 47. A intro B break it down C challenge D solution E show & tell 1. plan • Shoot your storyboard! 20 minutes • Adjust UI/storyboard details when appropriate 2. make • edit in camera for each shot (start/stop) 30 minutes • Use a tripod (or similar stabilizer) • limit location detail—this isn’t 3. shoot a commercial 20 minutes • check each shot for technical errors afterwards 4. evaluate • Shoot duplicate takes for critical shots 15 minutes • have fun!!!
