Can someone point me to the latest and greatest official winner? I'm working on language translations and video animations. Thanks  :)

Good concept!

The most immediate requirement is a proper voice over, and of course an index of questions, clickable, that immediately load that part of the video.

Clians "clickable index" suggestion is excellent, I've been looking for possible ways to implement this within the video itself. The best I've come up with thus far is to place a "Next Question" button on the video with a hover-over showing the next question.

using this 3rd party widget http://www.linkedtube.com/

I'll report back once I've posted an example on the video's sandbox page.

I met with unimercio for lunch yesterday, and we discussed releasing these in Spanish, Portuguese, and French, as well as English. We also have a native Russian speaker lurking around here.

We also talked about starting a BitShares Meetup group in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale.
I could translate the script to german and maybe i could record it with my voice too

 +5% That would be fantastic, I'll post the latest English script for you guys to mark up, we can then start translations.

This video has good potential. Will you be using these animations? Or some infographics? Also do you plan on making a video for all the potential non-Bitcoin users? Like with focus on transfering BitAssets and how much better it is than bitcoin?

The animations I'm submitting are independent community productions, independent of Brian's official deliverables. My intent for now is to use them as a proof of concept that encourages more complete submissions and future collaborations. I'm looking for creative ways to reach a wider audience with a broader demographic (women, children, non crypto punks, ethnic groups, etc...)

This week, I'll be scouting native sounding language translation tools and auditioning text to speech voices.

Guidance and feedback from the official marketing team is always welcome (good, bad, etc..).

Good job. Here is my 0.000002 btx. I think a real actor voice would be much better. I suggest adding subtitles. Also it should be a good idea to translate the subtitles in as many languages as we can.  In fact we should provide subtitles for all the videos that are published. I'm pretty sure that community will volunteer to provide translation.

 +5% thanks, I agree a real actor would be far superior. The reason I chose a canned voice is to allow easier text to speech language translation moving forward. This was just a proof of concept. My plan is to incorporate  Brian's official video and info-graphics nested into this animation on a chalk board or screen within the classroom.

thanks for your feedback

Below is the intro script Brian wrote. I've added accents and pause to help give cadence and clarity to the SAPI voice over. I'll post an audio sample of it shortly and a video first cut in the morning.

Intro Video Script

<silence msec="2000"/>
<emph>imagine a company.</emph>
<silence msec="750"/> This company has a lot of expenses.
<silence msec="750"/>But what if you could remove those expenses...  and give all the money saved to the customers?


<silence msec="750"/>What if there were no middlemen, brokers, or commissions...
<silence msec="500"/>and you could trade your shares with anyone as easy as sending an email?
<silence msec="500"/>Well
<silence msec="250"/>now you can with Bit Shares.
<silence msec="250"/>Bit Shares are shares of digital companies that are traded directly from person to person
<silence msec="500"/> over the internet. 


<silence msec="750"/>Digital companies exist entirely in software that runs on the computers
<silence msec="250"/> of the customers that use them.
<silence msec="500"/>Bitcoin was the first digital company that calls its <emph>shares</emph>
<silence msec="100"/>coins
<silence msec="500"/> and promoted their use as a form of money.
<silence msec="750"/> Bit Shares goes <emph>beyond</emph> Bitcoin to offer many new, and more profitable companies in industries like
<silence msec="500"/> banking, stock exchanges, auctions, music, voting, lotteries,  insurance, and  <emph>many more</emph>


Bit shares does for <emph>business</emph> 
<silence msec="500"/>what Bitcoin is doing for "money".

The most immediate requirement is a proper voice over, and of course an index of questions, clickable, that immediately load that part of the video.


agreed, the voice is hard to follow, but a bit sticky. After a couple days of editing its grown on me (not a good thing for a Cuban :D). We should be able to find better SAPI voice module or a real voice actor volunteer.

I like your index feature, I can parse out clips by question and present them somehow/somewhere

Maybe Team Viral would be willing to all read the script...then allow people to vote on who sounds best.  It would also help to identify the best option from a pool of individuals who would likely be more than willing to contribute at no cost.

 +5%, sounds like a plan.. I'll post the accented scripts with SAPI5 tags here shortly. I we can have the writers mark up the script, I'll add the camera cuts, character actions, etc.. after...
