Tomasz Kaye will make a Bitcoin Video

[whitslack]

If this project does need any custom narration to fill in some gaps, Stephanie Murphy, host of Porc Therapy on the Liberty Radio Network, does voice work for about 10 BTC per minute of finished audio.

Ah I can post here! I must have graduated from n00b academy. Thanks for the valuable feedback.

I figured out some important tricks today that will enable a much smoother result with the 'animated illustration' style. Together with the stuff I learned doing the first one I'm confident that the next one will be much better. I hope it works out with the funding somehow, would love to do this project.

Yes I'm him (though don't know how I could prove it to you in case you're looking for a weightier confirmation).

Post a picture of yourself (face) holding a sign with your username.

Bonus points for putting a shoe on your head.

EDIT: Other options include a public post from your twitter, facebook, etc. referencing this thread

Ha! Hope this will do. (You can compare it to my likeness in this recent video: http://www.indiegogo.com/albin-and-the-bully ).

Awesome!!!  I am in for 5 BTC.

[Technomage]

I pledge 5 bitcoins to this project. By the way I strongly support hiring Stephanie for the voice work, her voice is really pleasant to listen to.

This project has potential to be much better than the WeUseCoins vid. And what's more, we would actually produce it entirely with bitcoins! Crowdfunding and crowdsourcing for the win.

bitbutter do i send btc to 1MtpzbMH3u4F73Gn4dKN6pGZWnofiYEAMD or is there another specific address for the project?

[Technomage]

I think it would be wise to first create the script for this video until we start paying our animator. I for one want to know that the script is solid until I start donating my money. Pledges suffice for now.

[bitbutter]

Thanks all for the pledges! that's very encouraging. @bitlizzard: the address i have in the sig will be dedicated to this animation, but you may want to hold off paying just yet until osmosis and I have more details worked out (potential rewards, time frame, what happens if the target isn't met etc).

[RaggedMonk]

Tomasz - Did you write George Ought to Help and Edgar the Exploiter, as well as animating them?  Because if so, I would prefer that you wrote the script.  It seems like you have a great talent for reducing complex ideas into something even a child could grasp.

[bitbutter]

@RaggedMonk: thanks very much!, yes I wrote those scripts.

In this case I don't think I could do something similar, unfortunately. I've been watching BitCoin from the sidelines but don't feel nearly familiar enough with the whole thing at the moment  to a) Feel I have a BitCoin-related message I urgently want to communicate b) Be able to defend my script against any likely criticism leveled against it. Those two things are crucial prerequisites for me to write a good script I think.

So this time the plan was that the enthusiastic experts of bitcoin would be doing the talking--and I'd focus entirely on visualisation.

Tomasz - Since I maintain stuffexists.com, I have a thorough library of talks and materials to draw from. I was at the NY bitcoin conf, and know many prominent members of the community. I can communicate the bitcoin message, and as well am familiar with the standard criticisms that are attempted.  I can support you in these areas. Sounds like we have more to discuss.  I am currently working full time regular hours, so weekends might be best. Will sync up with you on email.

Everyone else, Please post any contributions for material here so it doesnt get missed in consideration. I appreciate the recent suggestions being made. As well, thank you for posting your pledges, as it is very helpful to know this is supported. As we have more to show, the rest of the donations should arrive. I will keep everyone updated on the status.

I'd love to help but the site appears to be broken.  I can't get past the index page.  I'll try again in a few days.
