Saw that article. I don't know the costs but I sure hell would love to see what could they make for BitShares  :P

"“A film makes your website much more attractive, it generates more traffic and more revenues. We know how to turn even the most complex and abstract matter into an entertaining movie. We are specialized in films for the Bitcoin and Blockchain industry. So if you run a Bitcoin-based business and want to make it more successful.”

If you want a viral promo or explainer video, I've got a crew for that.
 
For $3000 (paid directly to the crew (multisig)) I can get the highest quality 90sec+ vids done you've ever seen. They do tv commercials as well for BMW, Rolls-Royce, Adidas and others. Original video footage, professional actors, custom music, professional realistic cg, watercolor, 2d and 3d animations, you name it.
 
His name is David V (aka: "Wavy") and I've worked with him since mid-December of last year on my meshnet project which has been put on hold for BitShares.
 
Here's some of his work: http://wildek.com
 
If you want the job done right the first time, just let me know. 8)

$999 is usually just going to get you 2d animation and some stock music.
 
Do you guys think we should add to what BitShares TV has already done? I think Max did an awesome job, oder?

I would be fine with a 2D animation similar to what the introduction movie gives .. however .. it will take some time to describe what bitshares is to them .. I was talking ALOT with Arlene to improve here awesome info graphics .. you need someone to do this with them too ..

Standard 2d explainer videos are a dime a'dozen. They get buried amongst the hundreds of thousands of other 2d videos out there.
If we spend the money on something like this, it has to be of viral quality and have some "punch", something people will want to share.
 
Even a little humor can add the punch I'm speaking of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YwMwTZw12k

Isn't this what the delegate bid for SollyWood would be doing.. like on an ongoing basis?

We can just vote our way into making these videos.

He did the BunkerShares video and everyone loved it.

I 100% agree that videos and marketing need to be of the highest quality possible.
I watched that razor video and laughed more than once - I usually HATE adverts

This reminds me of something Deborah Meaden said on the UK tv show Dragon's Den. 'Spend at least £3k/month on marketing or don't bother.'
I would imagine this is even more true with so many "average" videos floating around on youtube.
If I'm going to show these promotional materials to my friends then it better be GREAT or I'll be too embarrassed to push it. You have to make people laugh, most (young) people don't care enough about their banking services to be interested unless it's both informative and funny.
'If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.' Oscar Wilde.
People don't like change and don't want to hear that their money might not be as safe as they think. We need some humour-trojan-horses. There needs to be a separate reason to share the video other than ways they can benefit from bts.
If I was to make a video I'd probably highlight things everyone hates about the current banking system; queues, paperwork, banking hours etc. and make skits out of them with the bts equivalent in comparison. Hopefully in a way that wasn't too gimmicky or not-genuine. I think that $1 razor video is a great model to follow. It pointed out obvious flaws in the current way people buy razors and made their NEW way to buy razors sound fun and the obvious thing to do.

I support kenCode on this kind of thing.
I'm also a big fan of the #blockchainHR campaign, accountability is what stops us from drifting back to the corrupt ways we're here to escape.
I will be voting for worker proposals or initiatives you put up after the next update, Ken

EDIT: Just watched the showreel on http://wildek.com/ - fantastic.
If you've already got a good relationship with them Ken I think it would be foolish not to make use of their services.

Thank You Permie :)
 
If we combine Wavy's professionalism with some of the $1 razor guy humor, I think we've got a winner.
 
Viral videos are not cheap, like I said, he'll charge us about $3-4K, but with multisig and escrow, he is paid every step along the way.
I never pay people in large lump sums. They MUST meet the milestones, usually third/third/third or more.
 
(after DPOS 2.0 of course!) we could issue a UIA called "BtsViralVideo" or something. My delegate can serve it up on the blockchain if you guys think we should even bother with it right now. I think we need to fix the company before we start spending money on ads, so let's hope DPOS2 is what it should be IMO. I'd like to knock out all of the "free" things we can be doing for BitShares first. Then, pool our resources for the vid.
 
And yep, I can recruit Wavy when we have at least 33% of the money together for his bid too :)
