A lot has happened with Counterparty since the beginning of 2014. Kudos to everyone creating and building a TRUELY decentralized technology!
The Counterparty team, more than any other 2.0 team, is creating this in the spirit of the original Bitcoin creator(s); without major funding or IPOs, etc…
The main Counterparty website www.counterparty.co is looking clean. The new (1 month old) Counterwallet www.counterwallet.co is also looking amazing. Matt_Y has started creating a few YouTube demos showcasing the web wallet https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8L6aXXyobFGD2ADJVwRGoQ too.
To this end, is there enough talent within the Counterparty community to pull together a script and video that showcases the Counterparty technology and gets our message out to more people?
Here’s what we would need:
[list]
[li]Script writing [/li]
[li]Music[/li]
[li]Voice talent[/li]
[li]Stock images/illustrations[/li]
[li]Illustration style[/li]
[li]Animations[/li]
[li]SFX[/li]
[li]Translators[/li]
[/list]
Questions:
Is this something Counterparty needs?
What is the ideal length of video? 90 sec, 60 sec, 30 sec?
Would it be beneficial to create multiple length versions of a video for different media distribution?
Would it be beneficial to create multiple videos, in the same style, highlighting different features of Counterparty ie: Counterwallet, Bets, etc…
What style would best appeal to the widest audience? Motion Graphics, Live Action?
If anyone doesn’t have the talent to directly help but wants to support the effort the Counterparty General Donations address is: 19U6MmLLumsqxXSBMB5FgYXbezgXYC6Gpe

Basically it all depends.
Personally I like videos that showcase how the product works, demo the GUI, etc.
I’m not a huge fan of eye candy so for that kind of content I’d go for multiple 30 second videos that can also be combined into one as they come out. For product demos I’d go for 2-3 minute videos.
I’m willing to provide suggestions/feedback to script writers and help with some translation into some languages.
