Abstract(s)
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.
