Great idea bytemaster!
The simplest way is to have one of those beer-drinking man-chats between nerds on Skype or whatever that are so popular these days. But I'd aim a little higher. This could double as serious promotion for Invictus and potential DAC creators, and quality production is very cheap with the technology we have available. It could also triple as media training - talking to a live camera is a skill like any other.
Pre-productionScripting? Questions? The community could post questions in a forum thread initially or a portion of the show centered on them. (Bytemaster, a media "category" in the forums would be beautiful). Of course people could also show up and ask questions when we are live, but I know I always have questions for Devs even if we get few people at first. My hope for this would be to make it in the spirit of cryptocurrency--decentralized. I'll gladly "host" a channel though.
Should there be an introduction video? Of course!, and I'm sure ByteMaster would let us use clips of their own for certain instances.
What's the format? Different each time? A) open, but people can "take the mic" and add their own points?, B) consider 1 hour of a 2-3 hour show to be "structured", with 1-2 hours hangout.
QualityHow will it be entertaining? Sometimes it might not be, but the great thing about things today is that "best of clips" could be compiled by community members who love to do those things...or perhaps another model will eventually take shape. Someone will eventually fill that hole just like you are stepping up to ask these questions
How will it be informative? The hour of structure will talk about basics, news, sociopolitical "deep" questions...perhaps let "newbies" show up and ask questions during a certain portion (with backup material in the case noone shows up)
HD? HD shouldnt be too hard using Google Hangouts, but I personally hope it can be inclusive of a broader audience...unless their equipment is TERRIBLE ;P
ProductionWhere/how will it be filmed? Personally like Google Hangouts (until a decentralized solution exists)...or in a Haunted Cemetery.
How will it be post-edited? I will definitely play with it and edit it. Will probably make a blog to post links to news, youtube vids...etc. But I think it would be awesome if noone "owned" them. Just post it under BitSharesCommunity or something to that effect and let other channels grow out of people doing their own work to the clips.
PromotionWhere will it be posted? Posting through popular social networking sites will be a good start. I personally love that Decentralized platforms can, if done correctly, incentivize participants to work to add value to the network (thus increasing the value of their stake).
If ByteMaster puts a "Media" Category in their forums, I would be glad to post pertinent videos there and would love to see others do the same (make it a kind of video social video blog).
How will it be advertised? Good question on the Advertising.
As for the rest, we will see how this goes. I want to be there and make this thing my baby, but I dont want it centralized around me. I also would like to eventually find someone who is willing to call me out when I'm an ass. If it even matters what "I" want, in this. Opinions from the community should be of utmost importance. The next step would be to open a thread (I'll figure this out) that asks some important questions as to how the community would like to bootstrap this. The up votes are starting to get high enough for me to take notice...and obviously it is the same with Bytemaster
I'd
love to help with this project...
