Producing short dramatic videos to raise awareness

Great, I love this. We can turn this into a project, e.g. named awareness-campaigns.

I’d like to point to a related idea that I recently posted:

This is about raising awareness through language use, but I had the idea for a campaign video to accompany it. I’ll elaborate more on that in the topic.

I like your themes. As part of the project we can prepare full-blown scenario’s and mood boards, etc.

This will be costly and hard to arrange. If we accept donations or sponsoring, these may come with liabilities. I’d like us to try walking a different path. This community should become more than just a forum. Members should be proud to associate with it, and become active knights and warriors in the fight towards humane technology.

We have creatives amongst our members. We can find more, if needed. The project can be wholly crowdsourced, and we only need money if we get stuck. There is great open-source software with which to design and create campaign material.

Why would someone - as a creative - spend his/her time on this? First of all, of course, because you are passionate about humane tech and very worried about where society is heading. But rest assured, anything you do will be properly attributed. You attach your name to your work, show it in your portfolio. We are talking about videos with highly viral potential here. Wouldn’t you just love :heart: having millions view your art, even if you didn’t get paid to produce it?

Why? Not at all. We’ll just be Turning the Weapon Around to Raise Awareness :wink:

We have a whole bunch of people where who are very social media-savvy, who know the dark arts of promoting and advertising stuff on the internet. That can be used to achieve some real positive impact now. Along with the videos we’ll come up with media strategies and campaign plans.

This is not needed per se. The community and organization - although closely affiliated - are entities that can, and will, operate separately. This will be a community initiative, and should be carried by the community entirely. Of course we can cooperate and should ask permission for logo (more on this later), official artwork use, etc.

Lastly: One of the goals of this community should be to become authoritative in our own right!
