It's not too late. We can review the FAQ before fri. B

[bytemaster]

Can someone confirm if this is the latest and greatest official FAQ:

https://github.com/nmushegian/invictus-FAQ/blob/master/FAQ.md

If so, is the git now open to "language translation" submissions?  thanks

Ok.. this needs to have my review because it has some things wrong in the first sentence

[toast]

Yep, that's it

This video has good potential. Will you be using these animations? Or some infographics? Also do you plan on making a video for all the potential non-Bitcoin users? Like with focus on transfering BitAssets and how much better it is than bitcoin?

The animations I'm submitting are independent community productions, independent of Brian's official deliverables. My intent for now is to use them as a proof of concept that encourages more complete submissions and future collaborations. I'm looking for creative ways to reach a wider audience with a broader demographic (women, children, non crypto punks, ethnic groups, etc...)

This week, I'll be scouting native sounding language translation tools and auditioning text to speech voices.

Guidance and feedback from the official marketing team is always welcome (good, bad, etc..).

We were able to get Mike O'Brian for the voice over for the "What are Bitshares" video. Should be ready by Mar 21 on new site.

Very nice!

Steve Reisberg, who is based in Los Angeles, is a voiceover coach, and a potential source for voiceover actors, should anyone need one.

  excellent voice , the quality shows... looking forward to seeing the video.

I found this in my notes from a few months ago:

"what is a DAC" video
make visual analogy of water flowing through a system which has pumps and generators and stuff. the water is shares and the machinery they move are the parts of the DAC. zoom out and make a bubble around the machine (with all the shares inside it) and then show how the DAC looks from the outside (interacting with other humans/DACs in a profitable but value-providing way)

I like this very much.

My one caveat is that having: "add in employees" "show them each going poof"
"and give all the money saved to the customers?"
will open up of an attack vector by vested interests.

Political enemies of our innovations might make hay with that by spotlighting the disruptive side of this opportunity.
 
FOX News, CNN, et al are very adept at capitalizing on opportunities for spreading FUD.

Lets not forget there is also the potential for a company having no "employees" can be seen as a bad thing and will be used that way in the political sphere.  Instead, we can say "we are all employees; by simply participating in the ecosystem we all are paid for the services that ecosystem provides...so our employees don't even have to 'work' in the traditional sense of the word". 

[bytemaster]

The script sounds pretty good!  I think this will turn into a great video.  I think it goes without saying, but the video needs to be cartoon-y.  Whether hand-drawn or in a more stylized version like the "What is Bitcoin" video, any semblance of

I think the employees / "what happens to the employees" / "turn them into shareholders" stuff is bogging down into minutiae.  Just leave out the employees as drawn-in "people".  Treat them under expenses but don't say "employees", just "salaries" "insurance" and other accounting terms, maybe use a simplified spreadsheet (just rows and columns with squiggles in them) and a pie chart to represent "boring business stuff" without taking it to a personal level.

My only criticism is that the script jumps from talking about companies to talking about shares without any intermediate discussion.  One line talks about saving money on expense and giving the savings to customers, but then the next line talks about brokers, commissions, and shares.  There's a logical leap being made here.  It could be addressed in that spot, or maybe a little earlier. 

"Imagine a company." ->
"You own shares in that company." (Shows certificate with "STOCK" printed at top and a little seal at the bottom, flies into the guy's hand) ->
"This company has a lot of expenses."

page 2 missed the comment on page 1?

yes, I'm proably going to not show people going "poof" but rather just the other expenses.  And this pile of money will go to a whole crowd of people, as I said in the script, so it won't be just one guy.  Daniel suggested changing the name of the guy to "customer" from "shareholder" which is probably a good idea, although we know both will win with BitShares.

Employee turns into shareholder (and the stuff around him turns from work-stuff to leisure-stuff), customer stays customer. Both get more dollars.

And now that I think about it, why not just remove the labels altogether during the transformation? There's not a clear difference between employee, shareholder, or customer. Everyone is a knowledge worker who works with his shares.

I say be bold. Let them attack it.

But I also say we should highlight the fact that you can work for DACs or at least participate and earn shares in some of them. It's an error to make it look like a closed loop system where you just have the digital company, pure profit, and customers. That might be the ideal but it would be dishonest to present it as if that is what it is.

I think we need to be bold about the fact that it's disruptive and proud of it because younger generations want that, while at the same time understand that not everyone is a customer with money. Some people will have to find a way to earn their way into the system and we want to figure out how to show that in the video even if briefly. We have to consider that a large portion of the people viewing the video now and increasingly into the future will graduate into a recession.

So how about we add in removing the boss as the main employee that gets removed. That one addition to the video would counter every political attack. It all depends on which employees you show being removed, if it's the boss and the management, you present this as money saved being passed to the user/customer then you'll be able to market to the little guy. I put emphasis on user/customer because not everyone is immediately going to buy Bitshares and you don't want to make it seem like the only way is to spend $100 because you could end up with a situation where people start saying it's too expensive.

I think presenting it like you're removing the employees could be making it seem like somehow the upper management or boss is immune and that the little guy is thrown under the bus. Most importantly, show that in the future anyone will be able to participate, so more emphasis on the fact that DACs might still need some human operators and developers.

Imagine that a lot of the people looking at the video will be graduate or college students, or recent graduates who want a job. They might want to take part in bounties or be involved in some way other than as a customer so what about that demographic?

Why not show employees moving from bad jobs to great jobs?

The number of new careers that can be followed from a beach in Bora Bora is mind boggling.

That too.

So let's highlight these points:
1. No more boss and fat cats.
2. No more middle men.
3. The DAC is digital, participate from your laptop or from anywhere with an Internet connection.

So perhaps after the fat cats go poof you show some people interacting with DACs and earning $ from the beach, from home, from the Internet cafe. I'm not the marketing director but I'm sure some creative idea will be found to get the point across in a way to make people excited about it rather than terrified.

cant wait to see this. Def a good idea to get the concept out

It's a good idea to not put shareholders into this video. I agree with Daniel on that. Putting shareholders into the video will open the community up to accusations of it being some sort of Ponzi scheme or that it's somehow tainted because some people are making a profit.

Customer is a better word but honestly I prefer user. Users can be customers but also more than just a customer. Everyone is a user, shareholders, developers and customers.

How do we attract developers? How can we give the video the feeling of a startup, with lots of opportunity for young bright college students to join a community and get involved building DACs? How can we show that side of it because customers are really just investors but they wont be all that we need to attract.

I think we will at some point need a future more in depth video which treats the whole thing as a sort of experiment which has attracted some of the brightest minds in the world. The experiment should be laid out (although don't bring anything political into it, just talk about technical and science). I think there is a lot of really interesting angles to approach it to attract different demographics so a series of videos will have to be made, from simple, to technical, to something to attract artists for the whole MusicDAC and later on when you get to the voting that's when you discuss politics and even there it shouldn't be that we push any particular flavor of political views only the fact that the technology can defend your rights, political freedom, etc while Bitshares itself can defend your economic freedom and the ability to express yourself.

Sounds like a fun video.
But DACs do use employees, the video can even show more people being employed and the extra cash going to the employees and shareholders (and not to fat cat executives and big bosses, maybe they can disappear).

Lots of money going to this one guy creates the whole too good to be true look and people start shouting ponzi scheme.

DACs are companies that decentralize ownership and increase sharing of profits for everyone (employees and shareholders). A super positive thing. They are not taking away overall jobs and making this one guy rich.

This has it right.

Hard to explain in a short video and there is probably no space for this, but just a thought I had.
Traditional companies have managers, directors etc on the inside of the company and stock owners on the outside.
This structure does not directly incentivise the people on the inside to act in the best interest of the stock owners and you end up with unethical and/or illegal behavior.

DACs are open-source so stock holders know exactly what they are investing in. The stock holders and workers are also 100% in control of how the company is run (accepting new client versions). No more insider trading, insider unethical behavior etc.

[unimercio]

  Very cool project, thanks.

Have you decided on an animation tool, if not check out:

http://www.muvizu.com

Very easy to use, free download and excellent quality.

I thought it might be fun to produce a series of animated promotional, educational videos, in graphic novel cartoon style. I'll start on a mockup proof of concept later today and post it here.

+5   Also missing is that DACs save money and pass the savings on to the customers who win the most.  A DAC can only charge transaction fees in a highly competitive market.  As a result all other savings are passed on to customers and not share holders.

Thanks for posting the script here 1st Brian!

I'll reiterate the excitement for this explainer video, I'm really looking forward to this! I think it's clear, concise and your description of visuals were easy to visualize.

I agree with Troglodactyl and onceupontime; I personally don't have any issues with the 'proofing of the jobs', but my gut says some people may perceive that incorrectly.

Other than that - awesome work!!

Perhaps what we need to do is replace old jobs with new jobs.   We are creating an entire new industry and creating employment opportunities around the new DACs that create far more valuable jobs than the ones it replaces.

Looking great!

As onceuponatime points out, some people are going to complain about taking jobs away, just like they do whenever any new technology increases productivity.  We could have all the employees and middlemen run off screen instead of poofing, and then come back in the second to last scene as happy users of the new businesses, but that would be tricky to do without making it cluttered.

[CLains]

Very interesting. Love that you're posting the script here for all to see. Remember that the bitcoin crowd will be watching this video very closely and that we want them on our side.

Unfortunately, it will only run 90 seconds (studies show most peoples' interest level drops of fast even after 1 minute) so there's not a lot of room to add to the script, but words can be changed or removed.  We'll have a professional voice do the voiceover...this will be done right.

BUT, this is only the first video...the one you'll see when you first visit the site.  Then under our videos section we'll have a several more explainer videos...

[toast]

Oh man I am so excited about this. The "what is bitcoin" video played a *big* role in getting me into the scene.

Does this actually run for ~90 seconds? If it ends up being too short I think that you could add a bit more between

This company has a lot of expenses.

and

But what if you could remove those expenses...

in order to properly explain how the magic behind

What if there were no middlemen, brokers, or commissions...

is possible.

Maybe like, "This company has a lot of expenses. It has to hire accountants to balance its books, lawyers to deal with contracts and regulations*, and managers to manage employees. But what if you could remove those expenses by automating *everything*? What if it simply didn't need contracts or employees? No room for middlemen, brokers, or commissioners..."

* risky

[MktDirector]

Hey Forum,

I've written this script (with much help from Dan and Gregory) and wanted to get your opinions on it.
This will be for the first explainer video one sees when coming to our new website.
It will be around 90 seconds and be animated, like the What is Bitcoin Video.
The purpose is to (breifly) give an overview of DACs and what BitShares does.
The script is first, whats below each line is a suggestion for the visuals...I may leave that up to the video team to come up with.
Either way, please let me know if you like it, hate it, or have a better idea, especially for the visuals.


WHAT ARE BITSHARES?

I’m picturing a little guy walking along who stops when he hears the narrator speak.  in parentheses is suggested visuals. 

Imagine a company. 
(building drops from sky right next to him - that was close! - a sign appears swinging off it that says COMPANY, INC). 

This company has a lot of expenses.
(add in employees, desks, salaries, utilities, staplers, rent, equipment, etc). 

But what if you could remove those expenses...
(show them each going poof and turning into money, which grows into a pile of bills next to guy)

and give all the money saved to the customers?
(the guy sees shares magically appear in one hand, then some bills fly into the other hand of him and his friends, a big crowd who we now see around him, all smiling).

What if there were no middlemen, brokers, or commissions...
(big X’s over a greedy looking fat businessman, or you could have a bunch of men with “middle” on their shirts, or a slick looking dude, and scissors cutting a part of a dollar off…… our guy has even more money now, spilling out of his pockets)

and you could trade your shares with anyone as easy as sending email?
(a computer flops from sky in front of guy, showing shares on screen, he presses big “send” button and the shares shoot to another guy on other side of a tiny globe, also with a computer…. both celebrate).

Well now you can, with BitShares.
(In zooms the BitShares logo looking like a hero who stands next to our guy. Put a cape on the “b”?)

BitShares are shares of digital companies that are traded directly from person to person over the internet. 
(can we show the “b” zooming around taking companies - which could be the buildings we used earlier - and turning them into “b” companies! The companies themselves look proud and puffed up).

Digital companies exist entirely in software that runs on the computers of the customers that use them.
(the company building is now split into pieces and flies into the computers of a bunch of happy shareholders)

Bitcoin was the first digital company that calls its shares coins and promoted their use as a form of money.
(Show the Bitcoin “B” symbol kind of amble in - walking - also wearing a cape, right on the other side of the guy in the story.  A coin falls out of his pocket with a bitcoin B on it, he looks a bit embarassed.  The two b's smile at each other knowingly with arms crossed, capes flying). 

BitShares goes beyond Bitcoin to offer many new, and more profitable companies in industries like banking, stock exchanges, auctions, music, voting, lotteries,  insurance, and many more. 
(images representing each of these appears as BitShares walks over and starts magically making a growing pile of new industries like he has superpowers.  Bitcoin is wowed and guy is happy because his money grows).

Bitshares does for business what Bitcoin is doing for money.
