Marketplace / Re: 50 PTS - Lets Talk Bitcoin Radio Ad Bounty [ACTIVE]
« on: March 12, 2014, 02:11:25 am »
I sent this to a fellow forum member in a message a few days ago and we just haven't had time to collaborate on it, I figured I'd post it here. If it helps kickstart the creative process for anyone, then great!
So one of the ideas I've been toying around with is a "story format" that Pixar writers use when they're coming up with new ideas. Almost any Pixar movie you can think of follows this general format.
And it goes a little something like this:
Once upon a time: [fill in the blank] "...there was this little fish named, Nemo."
Every day: ..."Nemo and his dad loved swimming and exploring in the ocean"
One day: ..."Nemo was caught by a diver and ended up as a pet in a dentist's office"
Because of that: ..."his father set out on a journey to find him"
Because of that: ..."he encountered many turmoils throughout his adventure searching for his son"
Until Finally: ..."Nemo and his dad were re-united and went back to happily living in their reef"
The great thing about this format is that is captures all the elements of a great story, which is what we're trying to tell; the story of of BitShares. But we have to do this so that most everyone can understand, in a simple way. The idea is that the ad opens with an 'attention-getter', holds the attention of the audience until the very end, and culminates with excitement (that ideally the listener will act upon). I think at the very end of the ad, it'd be best to end with some sort of slogan with a 'call to action' such as:
"Bitshares. Doing for business what bitcoin does for money. Please visit bitshares.org to learn more about what economics SHOULD be."
So there are a couple of perspectives from which I think we could approach this narrative. One would be we tell the story "from the future".
i.e. "Once upon a time, [....OR a Long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away.. (we can play with the wording)] when governments existed, the emerging world of crypto-currencies had no choice but to trust appalling central authorities that would decide whether transactions...." etc. (you get the idea, it's a little wordy, but again - the goal is to be as simple and straight forward as possible).
OR we could approach it form the perspective of where economics is today and how it will evolve through BitShares.
OR we can approach it from a perspective I haven't even thought of yet
Anyways, that's where my brainstorming has led me so far, let me know what you think. Anyone want to give it whirl?
