Nayam, what did you use to make the demo clip 2?

@paulb I was thinking that we should show a cool one-liner at the end. Like in my video, at the end I add Plasma then another text that is a one-liner.
I know we have used 'Simple by default, powerful when needed' but it's more like a sentence that can be added in the video at any time than a cool ending one-liner.
You must have seen me use 'Make it yours', which I honestly really like since it implies that Plasma is very flexible and personal.

I am a bit sceptical about imitating windows ads.

Demo Clip 2

I was imagining the video to be something along the lines of this, I think it showcases all the features perfectly while maintaining readability and beautiful transitions and visuals.

We should probably be discussing this kind of thing in the Matrix room, no?

I have no specific suggestions for this video, but this artist provides a huge number of songs with the most varied styles. All of his tracks are CC-BY. I bet we can find something here:

The visuals of the video would have to change to fit the style of music chosen though.

@paulb How does this sound? Tempo too slow?

Another nice reference with smooth animations but no fancy physical 3d

@paulb @VicFic18 @NayamAmarshe hi folks!
just got positive response from Theo who produces the Synthwave/Synthpop projects I mentioned above (Hills And Valleys; Above The Sky)! He says that his studio is currently under development and not effectively usable, but he basically likes to contribute to interesting projects, and so he asks if there is a deadline - if there is interest from the community he can compose and produce a kde-track. But he also offered to contribute a track from "Hills and Valleys"-Project depending on the deadline.
What do you think about the sound?

Here's a short demo video I made, we can include clips like these

I would prefer we looked at more daring combinations, though. We have broken moulds in our video creation and the reaction from our audiences has been good. Let's continue down that path.

The problem with audiolibrary music is that it is the sort of music used in literally 100s of 1000s of corporate videos. Totally unoriginal, boringly predictable.

Why not check out FMA and look beyond the "elevator" music at ethnic, pop/rock, power pop, folk, jazz, etc.?

Stuff that you would not believe goes together, you can often make go together. Take, for example, this scene from Martin Scorsese's "After Hours" and how he uses flamenco music in a scene that doesn't happen in Spain and there is no dancing. However, because it is Martin Scorsese film, it is very well chosen.

Since you suggested 5 audiolibrary tracks, let's do an experiment and look for at least another 5 that are not stock music and also (and not by Incompetech, please) and see if we can fit them in.

Mood of the video is very important.
Gnome's video is nice but doesn't inspire, or doesn't make Gnome look amazingly better than their competition. I think the 'energetic' music works better with fast visuals, Gnome's video has fast changing text, not backgrounds which kinda make it look slow paced and not very feature-packed than it should be.
The mood will be influenced largely by music, so we have to make a choice here what we want the Plasma trailer to look like.

Initial MR

I suggest using 3D animations on 2D elements. Firstly, the priority should be the info we provide in the video, every sentence should be short and concise with respective visual elements.
I recommend something like this https://youtu.be/sLib5QX9qMw
