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.

In 30 seconds, visualize a gestureto take a photographof your left hand with your right hand
let’s debriefShare out your gesture ideas…
how did we perceive each gesture?
how would you communicate your
gesture to your team? Your client?

• not interactive• hard to edit• disposable• it’s not “real”

example:
a teleportation system for easy everyday use on city streets
A intro B break it down C challenge D solution E show & tell
Aaron’s example video scenario: teleportation made easy
break it down:video scenario process
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
A intro B break it down C challenge D solution E show & tell
1. plan the shoot
• Storyboard
• User flows
• talent
• Props
• locations
• Voiceover/sound
• Schedule
• Budget
• Video capture
• editing methods
things to consider…
A intro B break it down C challenge D solution E show & tell
1. plan the shoot
explore what Ux/UI screens are required
A intro B break it down C challenge D solution E show & tell
1. plan the shoot
the storyboard shows screens in context

1. plan the shoot
common shot types:
CLOSE-UP OvEr thE ShOULDEr
MEDIUM EStABLIShING
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)

2. make & set-up shoot
A intro B break it down C challenge D solution E show & tell
• 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?)
3. shoot the scenario
A intro B break it down C challenge D solution E show & tell
• 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!!!
4. evaluate & edit
A intro B break it down C challenge D solution E show & tell
• Watch all of the takes
• Write up notes: best moments, redos
• reshoot required takes
• load best takes into editing program
• Stitch best takes together

ready?let’s make a video scenario!
challenge:
design a teleportation system for easy everyday use on city streets
A intro B break it down C challenge D solution E show & tell
but unlike our example,gestural input must be used to cue and start transport
how would you describe this interaction in a 60 second or less video scenario?

get into groups of four
A intro B break it down C challenge D solution E show & tell
• complete storyboard (limit to 6 shots or less!)
• 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
• Be sure to play with your camera as you plan!
1. plan 20 minutes
2. make 30 minutes
3. shoot 20 minutes
4. evaluate 15 minutes
A intro B break it down C challenge D solution E show & tell
1. plan 20 minutes
2. make 30 minutes
3. shoot 20 minutes
4. evaluate 15 minutes
• Draw necessary screens at size
• Build devices/props
• Set up materials on location
• check actual camera angles with stand-ins through your camera
• Adjust lighting (outdoors can be easier than indoors)
• check wardrobe—is clothing neutral and doesn’t distract from UI?
• try out a few key interactions on film
A intro B break it down C challenge D solution E show & tell
1. plan 20 minutes
2. make 30 minutes
3. shoot 20 minutes
4. evaluate 15 minutes
• Shoot your storyboard!
• Adjust UI/storyboard details when appropriate
• edit in camera for each shot (start/stop)
• Use a tripod (or similar stabilizer)
• limit location detail—this isn’t a commercial
• check each shot for technical errors afterwards
• Shoot duplicate takes for critical shots
• have fun!!!
A intro B break it down C challenge D solution E show & tell
1. plan 20 minutes

• Watch all of the takes, deleting unusable ones
• Write up notes: best moments, necessary edit points
• reshoot required takes
• load best takes into editing program (FlipShare)
• Stitch best takes together
• Be aware—FlipShare adds crossfades!
share outyour videos!
