How many Fridays passed since the teaser is out?

Apparently not enough <sup>[perhaps they'd be releasing it next Friday (it'd be exactly one month since they've started "this poll" on Twitter)]
- On a serious note, I'd prefer to see a polished video that's a few weeks behind schedule, as opposed to a bunch of videos that were rushed for the sake of uploading content on the channel ["quality over quantity"].</sup>

I think we already are a few weeks behind schedule. Also, I am not lowering my expectation, rather raising more and more every Friday I mark on my calendar.

[OgNasty]

I, however, would suggest that the channel gets advertised more properly in the forum, maybe one of the designated ad-slots that we all see on each thread could have a link to the youtube channel when videos roll by? Also like small giveaways to the communities to keep them involved? omg I actually cant wait for the first proper-proper-proper video to be released.

I'm not sure spending money on advertising here is the way to go for such a small operation.  I assumed the intent of this channel was to reach a new audience and bring them to our playground.  Considering it's basically a promotional tool for the forum, maybe considering asking for something like a grant and free advertising from bitcointalk would be a better approach.

I also wouldn't mind donating a little something to the cause if they were giving away items to viewers of the channel.  Maybe some silver and/or NFTs.  Hell, I'd go as far as to do the coding for an NFT project if you wanted to give away your own NFTs.  Although maybe it would be best to wait for Bitcoin's infrastructure to catch up on that front before doing so.

I am sure there will be a LOT of buzz in the forum about the channel, and I think adv I’m the ad-slot would be redundant.
Better direct those funds to publicise the video outside the forum.
I will do my best to make it known everywhere.

I actually think a video a week is a little optimistic. I think I'd rather see monthly content, at least to start. I think this is how most people start out on Youtube, and other video production websites. Bring out the best quality possible, don't go in making schedules that will be hard to keep too, and keep it consistent.

I've got this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5207305.0

However,  I think it would probably be better suited putting it up for giveaway on a the 15th/20th anniversary (which I absolutely love, and aren't in a hurry to get rid of). Since the Youtube audience wouldn't be that interested I suppose.

I would also support this idea. I think that at least we could try to grab a free advertising slot in the existing ad space of the forum since it would get a tremendous amount of exposition as theymos recently published[1] data on the 345 round of ad slots shows us. We would benefit from both reaching out to fellow enthusiasts and we could have a compound effect on that since those new "leads" would most likely speak outside of the forum and thus increasing the possibility to extend our reach to other not so well BTC enthusiasts (but willing to be!). I do reckon, however, that a slot for "us" would mean one less slot to auction, and that may eventually make a dent on the forum revenue, but we can balance it out each week / monthly to balance things out.

I mighty be wrong on this one, but this also seems to be the method that is being employed by Cyrus and his team. I believe that they probably already have the next video ready (perhaps they are finishing up the editing effects) and perhaps they are already working on the next one (draft mode, filming some scenes already?). Thing is, the first few videos will be really important for whoever is running the channel - it will tell them which regions we are getting, the scope and reach within the Youtube Ecosystem and how well received (and how organic) or views are. This data will be essential for setting up a strategy and have a feel how the overall user reaction is. With a team of the size that Cyrus told us, I would also focus on very timed, but precise and incredible well craft content, just to pass on the message that we are building something really good.

On a not so related note, I've decided to jump ahead - perhaps to generate interest in other members?  - and I've made a personal vow that I will create both English + Portuguese subs for the teaser within this month. Cyrus and the team are free to eventually attach them to the teaser or simply ignore it / put them into the bin, but I really feel that it it adds a bit of "polish" on it (if we may call it that) even if we're just talking about a teaser. If anyone reading this thinks that I shouldn't do this until we have a reply from Cyrus regarding this topic please let me know and I won't go ahead - I'm not trying to push things further, I just think that at least English captions would be great to have on the teaser. Anyone for sure could take a jab at it (perhaps even someone who is a natural English speaker).

Still waiting for the video and to reverse the poll it should be released any weekday but it should be soon as i don't want you to cut out the Friday's off the next year calendar

The video has 325 views published 3 weeks ago with 37 subscribers and all that 3's make me believe it should be released before 30^th

[fillippone]

In the meantime, I cannot avoid noticing tomorrow is Friday.
Friday is also the best day to release a Video, according to our poll.
Shall I hold my breath for the release?

"Friday is my second favorite F word."

Almost passed.
Maybe a late surprise for the believers?
I am starting to expect a pixel perfect video editing right now.
The expectations are so high.
Something like this:

Something like this:

We are ready to watch the video in 1080p or 720p but it must be released soon as Fridays won't end but our wait for the first broadcast of video on our channel should end early.

But still with the wait our expectations have gone high and I found out how much time it will take to upload high resolution video on YouTube and here are the findings :

YouTube says that a 4K video with a frame rate of 30 fps that is 60 minutes long can take up to 4 hours to finish high-resolution processing. I’ve found this to be quite a bit shorter, but it all comes down to the video quality.

So maybe next Friday?

[RickDeckard]

1/2 of my promise is concluded - you can find here[1] the subtitles - in English - for our first teaser! If you want to know what they look like here's what you can do (sadly only available on Chrome atm):

• Install yashagarwal1411 Chrome extension - SubtitlesForYoutube[2]
• Drag and drop the .srt file on the teaser video[3]

I've downloaded the video using youtube-dl and on my side the subs are perfectly synced, but when I ran the subtitles directly on the Youtube video (using the previous extension) they seem a bit delayed on my side, I wonder if they would look slightly more synced if they were added by the channel owner? Anyways, let me know what you guys think!

EDIT: I'll edit this thread from time to time - with an new link - considering that wormhole.app only stores the files for 24 hours (and I don't want to host it "endlessly" on the Internet).

I think you should send Cyrus in a personal message (so he doesn't miss this post).

Besides, I can assure you guys that video production is in full swing (I could of course say that the video is ready or that I have already seen it, but I will not).

We all just need to wait a bit and not put pressure on Cyrus so that he can comfortably do his job.

Yeah we are also hoping for the same and it's just our excitement and curiosity for the first video to be aired which is why our instinct ask the same question with each Friday passing by and have a look at this thread to see if there's any updates about the video.

And to this i remember one beautiful quote :

No matter how great the talent or efforts,some things just take time.You can't produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant.
                        ~ Warren Buffet

So take time for high quality and good content video to enlighten people with true knowledge of forum and bitcoin to take over the rights from all those crap YouTubers shilling out fake coins with zero knowledge.Will wait for it

Ehi! It's Friday (again)!
It's the last Friday of November. This would be a great day to release the mid-September video!
(expectations are high, I continue to hassle @Cyrus, but in the end I will patiently wait for the release to happen when it happens)

Sometimes the surprise is bigger when we dont know exactly when it will happend.
Good things needs time , and i think everybody cant wait to see the Video and content with it , so yeah fingers crossed it will be soon.

[dkbit98]

Ehi! It's Friday (again)!
It's the last Friday of November.

And it's Black Friday so give him a break, he is probably purchasing on discount all equipment needed for making this video 
Maybe we need to start thinking about contacting netflix and making Bitcointalk movie.

How many Fridays you have cut off the calender till now? .But yes in the end we hope that big surprise is to be unveiled by @Cyrus and maybe he is taking bit longer to cross our expectations this time also.

And it's Black Friday so give him a break, he is probably purchasing on discount all equipment needed for making this video 
Maybe we need to start thinking about contacting netflix and making Bitcointalk movie.

Yeah he might be putting on hands to have some really cool video equipments for quality enhancement this black Friday sale.He could find some good cameras and other stuff to buy them at 50-60% discount what you are referring to.

So we will wait for it to be released with patience.

And I can safely say that I've just finished the PT-PT version of the subtitles (just in time to prevent my promise to being broken  ). I won't post them here since I'll have to constantly edit the link (again, don't want have them endlessly on the internet) but I'll send Cyrus the links where he can grab both versions. Looking forward for the video

That's fantastic work done by you and sure you should send it directly to Cyrus and he can then have a look at it and integrate them or embed them in the video for the viewers to have an ease who understands PT-PT subtitles.

Now waiting for the video as next Friday is just two days ahead and hope black Friday shopping was successful and first video to be rolled soon

New poll idea:

What comes first?

• ATH
• Bitcointalk YouTube Video

I really cannot pick one.
