Thank you all for the wonderful response! I really appreciate them all! I did not expect these many responses so I’ll try to cover the general points most individuals asked.
1. First and foremost thank you all who commented on the professionalism. It took me nearly half the year to put this together. I did it mostly by myself. The script, the visual story everything so it means a lot. I hope I have shown at the very least that I have rightfully earned my nickname Sollywood over my career as a storyteller
2. Powered by Bitshares as a brand along with Bitshares (and now MUSE (and possibly ShareBits)) will be used in terms of its technology aspect. This is reserved for the KickStarter [the video and on the actual KickStarter page.] This means when Millennials, Press and anyone else comes to our project they will first and foremost know Bitshares technology is powering what we are actually doing. But it is the Back-End brand so to speak. Not the front end. The main brand as a larger meta project is New Money and as the particular product is Sollywood TV w/Sollars and $ense: Smart Money. (Smart Money also doubling as New Money as it is the aspect of the project that is allowing for Hollywood's disruption.)
Bitshares will also get write ups on the New Money blog which is almost ready to debut. And will also get brief mentions in our professional articles that are written to pump up the KickStarter. We will be looking to work with a professional KickStarter marketing company to make that happen. We are looking to use the one that has raised millions of dollars for multiple KickStarters. Including two companies I know based here in Chicago which launched on KickStarter.
But understand, in terms of marketing, Bitshares will strictly be about technology (the linux of finance). This is what I have been describing from the very beginning of last year when I came out the crypto-closet. Nothing has changed. Don’t worry too much about it. I’ve got it under control. Why New Money? Because it has been Millennially (I made up that word) tested and they love it.
3. In terms of sequel. The sequel will be the actual KickStarter video which will tackle the subject from a story plus product side (typical KickStarter video). Many well known Bitshares developers will be starring in it. Details coming soon
We may also make some visual videos to some of the episodes which can be viewed on the OP of this thread. But now they have become irrelevant to use as things have been picking up with this first video. People actually get the product.
4. Thank you PTSWarrior for noticing the numbers! That was actually one of the aspects that I thought would be hard to convey in terms of fitting the voice over. But the idea just came to me in a split second and I made it. Glad it worked because it actually illustrates why short filmmakers and other content creators who generally get ignored by the market can now actually make a ton of money when they are pricing with us. This is especially true if you are making 80-90% of every transaction for those views. Think about that.
5. You can rest assure Cob and I have been talking and will continue to work together where it makes $ense for the current state of our projects. Very nice guy and he absolutely gets it too. The Millennial market and the potential. It's kind of weird to tell you the truth. Formal announcements will come soon.
6. Xeroc you made an EXCELLENT point and I’m glad you noticed that. We are taking this project STRAIGHT to a mainstream audience. I was not kidding. This will have nothing to do with Crypto and watch us take over Bitcoin. People will not believe their eyes when it happens. They just don't understand how investors and everyone else outside the crypto-bubble sees the Millennial market and the crazy amounts of money they are willing to put into companies or projects that have their eyeballs. Uber, Square, Venmo, SnapChat, WhatsApp ($19 BILLION), AirBnB. Check all these companys' pre-revenue valuations. I tried to explained this last year. No crypto project has the Millennial market or a product that can appeal to them today. Cob and I do. UNDERSTAND THAT GUYS. BITSHARES DOES! Bitshares has what no one else has. And I've also got the visual skills to speak to Millennials in their language. That's a cherry on top.
7. If you still haven’t gotten what the project is about no worries. Its not meant to be understood by everyone. No platform is and I have come to understand that. But I can assure you content creators and Millennials are jumping out of their minds at what we are about to do. Its really sobering...
Unfortunately I will not be able to lend any of my video talents to anything else but this New Money project. There is still much to be done and it has become serious as we are beginning to talk to Content Creators who are actually interested in using the product after the KickStarter. Resources and time are limited until this event and its subsequent crowdsale happen. But by then if we are successful I will be running a tech start up known as the killer app of digital currency here in Chicago. Which was my purpose for this all along.
Again that is why we are running the KickStarter in the first place. To raise the funds necessary to take this to the next level. We will be announcing shortly how individuals in the community can now get behind this project in a tangible way. This is strictly if you want to. There will be a token to provide the proper incentives. Details coming soon.
Finally I want to say one of my Film professors who I respect. A professor that hates everything everyone does actually praised the film. I was shocked. If you knew him you would be shocked. But he said its going to change everything. It was another moment and I am glad people are seeing it. It really makes me believe we have that one way ticket to the moon...
