Hi Eric, Many thanks for your comments on the video scripts! I'm processing the comments and have a few questions for you: On 27/08/2019 10:48, Eric Eggert via WBS Mailer wrote: > I think this video is too long and introduces too many resources. This was in relation to the first (overview) video. Which resources would you suggest excluding from this video? >> Illustrations of "users"/"people" appear (do not need to be detailed or > animated); *no* representations of "disability" or such - just of users > (see sequence 21 of video 1) > > STRONGLY OBJECT to not representing disabilities when talking about users. > We need not to point out disabilities specifics here, but whenever we refer > to users we must make sure to be representative. > > When I think of “just users”, I cannot separate PwD from people without > disabilities. They are all “just users”. To clarify, I'm worried about how people with disabilities would be depicted -- wheelchair or cane? What about non-visible disabilities? Would such representation reinforce the thought that is work is for disabled people only? My suggestion is to try and not differentiate between disabled and non-disabled but just depict "end-users". These include people of different abilities, race, age, etc. Remember that these will all be illustrations anyway, rather than actual people. Curious about your thoughts after this clarification. > See video 1, also there seems to be a lot of repetition from video 1. I’d > like to have this more stand alone. This seems a little contradictory. To make each video stand-alone there needs to be some level of (slight) repetition. Unless we avoid an intro (overview) video altogether? > Could we not throw shade like that? [...] [...] > This is throwing experts under the bus [...] I do not mean to throw shade or throw anyone under anything. I'm very happy to consider your comments, also without such pointy statements.
