May I ask what kind of setup are you guys running @Cyrus
I could ask for a list from the video crew. But we're in the process of buying our own and have someone shoot and then send it off to editing. It's the only scalable way that makes sense for us.- Choosing the Bitcointalk Community Awards 2020 as the theme for the second video is interesting. May I ask why did you decide to do it? Did you felt that the thread didn't had the right "ending" to it? Another set of applause for icopress regarding his tremendous work on it btw. For sure this would have to get a dedicated episode and I'm glad that it ended up being right on the second one.
And thanks icopress!
- This blurring effect[5] is different from the remaining ones. Just curious as to why the reason to change it? Trying out different effects?
- From an engagement perspective I understand the idea to send you usernames for you to read[7]. But I worry that it may be buried in the middle of the video and it ends up going unnoticed. Perhaps adding up a description on the video mentioning this little "game"? I saw that you added some links in the description but I don't think this one was mentioned. Still on this topic, what about time-stamping the video in the same time that you mentioned in the video description links? I think that for mobile users it would be better rather than having to open the description area and search for them.
The video should be timestamped by the threads being mentioned though.
- Still regarding the prizes for the winners, what about adding some kind of value - as in Bitcoin - in the gift themselves? The main idea would be to "print" a message on the blockchain itself tagged to the specific gift, that way both of them would be unique in a special way. I wasn't talking anything high, just enough to be able to leave our "footprint" on the network.
But don't wanna build up too much buzz. It's nothing that grand.
This is really starting to have a considerable dimension considering the team behind it (less than 10 iirc). Back to the sustainability side of it, I'm sure that this was mentioned already, but what do you guys think about having a donation address for the channel? I think that it's something that could easily be done and that could help sustain the expenses while the channel doesn't have a huge userbase. On another note I am really interesting to see the running costs of the whole operation just to have an idea about the need that we may have to start quickly making fundraiser events or something like that. I do know that the forum has a nice stash but since we're unaware of the % that may be allocated to it, it doesn't hurt to start thinking in other ways to help considering the team and the new set.
It's still an experiment. If the community and general public considers it successful, guess there's hope to sustain it. We could say that for now I'm running this experiment for everybody else.I know that this may be asking too much, like really too much. But what about, for a certain period of time, adding an additional message to this header:
That would be cool indeed!
