Description

OpenLab ESEV is a project of the Polytechnic Institute of Viseu’s School of Education that aims to promote, foster and support the use of Free/Libre and Open Source Software (F/LOSS), Free file formats and more flexible copyright licenses for creative and educational purposes. This paper presents a description and an evaluation of the pipeline and workflow implemented by OpenLab ESEV to support students' animation work and projects. The presented detailed view and evaluation might be of interest to schools and studios, teachers and independent animators interested in exploring the potential of Free Software alternatives to the standard proprietary software pipeline for animation and media production. The first part of the paper presents information about the workflow and pipeline. The description includes a diagram portraying the workflow, software packages used for different tasks, adopted file formats and chosen copyright licenses. It provides a complete view of the pipeline and workflow, from pre-production to post-production, from the presentation of the initial idea to the distribution of the final work, using finished and ongoing students’ works as real case scenarios. The second part presents a first draft of an ongoing analysis and evaluation of the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) of the pipeline. We'll share and discuss the results of a SWOT analysis carried out within the project coordination team and students involved with the project as users of the pipeline.
