Title: BitShares Video
Post by: Empirical1.1 on January 04, 2015, 03:06:06 pm
Here's a little BitShares video I did, hope you like it  :)

Updated Version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnunXnLdJdw&feature=youtu.be

Short versions of the main BitAsset part with slightly different intros...

I have used the song ‘Welcome to the blockchain’ by Toby Ganger https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbzNJr26H-4

I like it!  +5% It is great that it is emotional!  8)

The following are really just hints where I could see it being improved:

The kid was used for the purposes of the adults that made it say what it said. It didn't say it because it was something it had an urge to say. Do you believe she understands what she said?  She was just citing or reading something she didn't understand in order to please her parents or who ever. This doesn't make the content very credible and is not a nice thing anyway.

For my taste, one of the standard high glance snippets (1:53-1:155) would be enough, looks a bit like "ideal world overload" like this.

Maybe the "powerpoint style" around min 2:00 could be made into something more professional (text more integrated into the background).

Great Work!

Two things seem to have jumped out of the overall nice flow.
1) The kid reciting words too big for her age at about 1:10. But I don't think many would draw 'brainwashed' parallels.

2) The ending starting at around 2:40, I thought I somehow started watching another video: the connection wasn't too obvious. The video pieces in the ending seem too disparate and may be too distant from the previous piece.

A great video anyway.  Cannot be too perfect.

Wow, really cool!! The mix of emotions and humor is great. Fun to see your visual side Empirical! Dat 10-20s flow <3

Minor stuff: Glitch at 1:41, girl was a little overused, writing overlay could be better.

Thanks & thanks for the feedback. I have altered the video to reflect some of it.

- The Girl has been removed from the middle section.
- The last 10 second montage at the end of the video has been removed.
- The BitUSD section at 1:45 still looks power-pointy, but it has a more animated intro and exit transition & floating dollar signs have been added to the background

One more thing I wanted to mention.
Max Keiser talking on RT about Deutsche and BNP being insolvent sounds somewhat out of (time?) context, FUD-like... ?

Perhaps, I don't think they've ever been technically insolvent just under-capitalised and Deutsche has over $50 trillion in derivatives exposure. I think that clip is probably from mid 2013 but so is the Cyprus thing in the video etc. I think all those risks are still present.  I'm probably not going to update the updated version above for the time being though. I might try start on something new when I have time.

I have extracted the main BitAsset advert part, could be useful on it's own.

Two 60 second-ish versions with slightly different intros wasn't sure which was better...

I'm glad to see you credited me here...I didn't see any credit on the video...the song is edited...and no one asked me, credited me, or consulted me on it. ..so I was a bit annoyed at that...I think you did a good job with it..but I would appreciate it in the future if you hit up and let me know...or at the very least credit me on the video...

thank you to everyone for the tips...hopefully they were sent to 'tobyganger' and not 'tobygranger"  haha...I can't tell because I'm out of the country at the moment....hopefully this helps promote the Bitshares movement :)

peace

Yeah just added that now, also just sent 2000 BTS tip. I really should have consulted you in hindsight, apologies & thanks for being cool about it. (Just did it my spare time, wasn't paid and yeah I've asked that any tips go to you.)

Edit: I'll add a credit in the video at the end this week as well and take the other two down.

If it simplifies anything I think you can do it without having to upload any new video....I think you can just add links to the video on youtube no?

Thanks! If you decide you're not happy about using the song though for whatever reason, just let me know.

I think it would be great to have the blockchain pay you to do a properly funded original BitShares song at some point along the lines of what you had in mind in November - https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=11584.msg152855#msg152855

This video hasn't got that many hits but it seems to come up in all the searches. It might be country specific, but if you google any of the following search terms 'BitShares' 'BitGold' 'BitUSD' 'BitAssets' and click on videos, this video is in the top 2.

I think it's because I put those words in the title.

If so perhaps some future videos could include some of those words so they get a higher ranking especially BitGold, (to knock BitReserve of the top spot.) It would be good if BitShares came up higher in a general web search somehow for BitGold too.
