This prototype is meant to be a "quick search tool" for available techniques for a given position. It can theoretically be a companion tool for a video series, or a whole collection of series. Having worked in knowledge management and instructional design, I also have a proposed "Documentation standard" for video series to make information more usable and retrievable. The combination of all these things should make for a really good experience for this content.

The current design of this tool is for people who:

1. quickly want to see what kind of "moves" are available for a position
2. want to visualize the technique over and over via an animated GIF loop

This could be especially useful for those who like to visualize the technique over and over, but don't wanna have to: find the video, then find the clip of the technique being performed in its entirety, and then needing to rewind the clip again and again.

Once the user clicks on a GIF, they can do a number of things like:

• preview the GIF
• flip the GIF
• view the source of the GIF

To see a fully fleshed out example, pick the following filters and technique:

• POSITION: half guard
• CATEGOORY: pass
• Click on "ARM WEAVE" with Rafa Mendes

From here, you could see the GIF, and the source video where the technique comes from/

Some development notes:

• I've seeded the database with some sample content to convey the intent
• the current filters are merely examples of what we can put there. We can put any text criteria as filters, and can have as many as we want. This means that though the scope of this prototype encompasses a wide range of positions and techniques, we can actually limit that scope if necessary for a better user experience. For example, we can make this strictly a "sweep library", or a "passing" library to reduce the "noise" on this page.
• The GIFs should ideally have the technique at game speed with minimal talking in between. I have a proposed documentation standard which is a topic for another piece, but it's something I've shared with the likes of Jon Thomas.
