Hey, let me present my new DASH video:


Thanks to TanteStefana and Tungfa for their help with script and sound editing.

It'll be nice if Dash community help me to cover direct production expenses -
on my DASH: XxG6WRPA5ef767m37eEbGjK8T1UPAVGdCq
I have lots of additional promo-ideas but can't sponsor them by myself. Thanks!

Please spread the word, everybody - distribute this nice video.

I think adding a Chinese or Japanese guy to the video would help too ;)

I think the video is awesome, but I do agree with Basilpops statement on reddit, seems like it doesn't belong in the official youtube channel as it should be kept as a community project.

Reminds me of a religious recruitment video.

Still some quality work though.

Not bad. I don't like the fake forced "professional" smile of the first two girls from the video. It gives an overall impression of kitch and fakery. The rest of the video looks good. The other girls seem natural.

Yes - this video was just an experiment and not the easy one for me (too many people to manage, too low budget for everything, too different videos to mix).
But finally we got the result - something that we can use as "proof of concept". Now somebody can use this concept to make something better on next level of perfection. :)

By the way - it'll be nice if real community members would take part in the recording of the next similar video - please send me a message if you would like to publish your sincere positive attitude towards Dash - in a good quality video. Thanks!

That is a great initiative, compliments to everybody that helped in this project. But I have a few comments on how it could be improved, something to keep in mind in future endeavors:
- I think it was too long for an advertisement of this type. Many people don't have that long of an attention span. Maybe 30s or 59s would suffice. See http://thenextweb.com/socialmedia/2014/05/02/optimal-length-video-marketing-content-short-possible/
- The backgrounds were kind of mismatched. A white screen for some, a wall, or a home setting for others.
- I immediately noticed the overwhelming majority of women and effort to show diversity. It seems too forced, it was distracting. (maybe that was just me)
- Maybe a simple overlay with some keywords (like private, secure, control, instant, etc) would help viewers internalize dash's features.

"Constructive criticism is the process of offering valid and well-reasoned opinions about the work of others, usually involving both positive and negative comments, in a friendly manner rather than an oppositional one. The purpose of constructive criticism is to improve the outcome."

Bro, any tips for young youtube star wannabes like myself? You've literally inspired me!

edit: Im srs.
the only advise I could ever have for "TheDashGuy" is to stop caring so much, but I know you taking that advise would be like you committing suicide :)

Dayum sally. Them some harsh words.

But see, I woke up this morning and had this epiphany, I can actually do more good for Dash by not caring about it! #MINDBLOWN

Here's to Democracy. Viva La Dash.

edit: Do you even lift bro? I been doing this since I was 13. Get on my level.

Its a very difficult task to get right but I would say you've done a fine job for a community video Alex (you are getting better the more you do).

I mentioned this in another post, but I might not understand the budget system correctly. Instead of coins being burned, could proposals be made to move the coins into an address and once it reaches a certain amount...use that for some professional videos? These videos are $7k upwards so it will take a while to fund, but with Evolution just coming out we are in no rush. Does that make sense?

Not how the budget was designed to work, says the core team. That might be changing soon as that design is now being called a bug.

I've done English subtitles for this video, So everybody who want - can translate it to other languages:

1
00:00:04,135 --> 00:00:06,222
Hi! Have you heard of Dash?

2
00:00:06,222 --> 00:00:10,217
Well… Dash is a privacy-centric digital currency

3
00:00:10,225 --> 00:00:12,558
with instant transactions.

4
00:00:12,996 --> 00:00:15,434
Dash allows you to keep your finances private

5
00:00:15,444 --> 00:00:17,960
and your transactions instant, just like cash.

6
00:00:18,509 --> 00:00:22,092
Dash represents a new kind of money that provides users

7
00:00:22,092 --> 00:00:26,981
with a number of substantial benefits over traditional types of money.

8
00:00:28,485 --> 00:00:32,178
Although Dash has only been in existence for a short time,

9
00:00:32,188 --> 00:00:37,688
it is already reshaping the financial services industry in profound ways.

10
00:00:38,737 --> 00:00:43,205
Dash enables users with entirely new ways of storing and using money.

11
00:00:43,797 --> 00:00:48,059
You probably know Bitcoin, the first digital currency.

12
00:00:48,060 --> 00:00:54,718
Dash is similar to Bitcoin, but with a number of added benefits and capabilities.

13
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,889
Dash is digital cash.

14
00:00:58,608 --> 00:01:02,529
Dash is a technology leader in the digital currency space,

15
00:01:02,532 --> 00:01:05,534
deploying innovations at a rapid pace.

16
00:01:06,478 --> 00:01:09,394
The Dash developers have delivered a number of “firsts”:

17
00:01:09,876 --> 00:01:13,242
the first privacy-centric transaction system,

18
00:01:13,740 --> 00:01:16,813
the first with a multi-tiered network,

19
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,351
the first to enable instant transactions,

20
00:01:21,208 --> 00:01:23,859
the first to enable users governance,

21
00:01:24,325 --> 00:01:28,117
the first to create a sustainable self-funding model,

22
00:01:28,995 --> 00:01:34,411
and soon, the first to employ a Decentralized Applications Programming Interface.

23
00:01:35,230 --> 00:01:37,983
Dash will be as easy to use as Paypal,

24
00:01:37,998 --> 00:01:41,926
and as easy, secure and fast as cash, face-to-face.

25
00:01:42,507 --> 00:01:46,912
Dash provides practical means to store wealth, easily and securely.

26
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,013
And lets you do transactions with others,

27
00:01:49,026 --> 00:01:52,100
without relying on third parties such as banks.

28
00:01:52,943 --> 00:01:55,609
People have few choices except to relay on

29
00:01:55,609 --> 00:01:58,865
the services of others to store and preserve their wealth.

30
00:01:59,423 --> 00:02:03,286
Today, this typically means keeping your funds in a bank account.

31
00:02:03,740 --> 00:02:07,511
But this also carries risks as anyone familiar

32
00:02:07,511 --> 00:02:11,150
with the numerous banking crises around the world can attest.

33
00:02:11,657 --> 00:02:14,892
Not to mention the constant hacking attacks,

34
00:02:14,901 --> 00:02:19,556
that steal not only funds, but user’s identity as well.

35
00:02:20,013 --> 00:02:23,887
Dash doesn’t require any personal identification information to use.

36
00:02:23,892 --> 00:02:29,078
And by taking responsibility for your money, you won’t pay any outrageous fees.

37
00:02:29,368 --> 00:02:33,852
Dash protects your wealth, as you are your own Bank.

38
00:02:34,187 --> 00:02:39,052
Dash represents a new and better alternative to allow people to store,

39
00:02:39,052 --> 00:02:42,555
save and spend money safely without the need

40
00:02:42,555 --> 00:02:46,857
to give your financial control away to banks and other institutions.

41
00:02:47,476 --> 00:02:52,867
You can safely store any quantity of Dash, exchange it for Dollars,

42
00:02:52,867 --> 00:02:58,948
Euros, Yuans, Rubles or any other currency as the need arises.

43
00:02:59,572 --> 00:03:02,856
Evaluate the benefits of Dash for yourself.

44
00:03:03,347 --> 00:03:07,025
You’ll see how Dash can be an essential part of your portfolio of assets,

45
00:03:07,027 --> 00:03:09,732
financial products and plain money.

46
00:03:10,447 --> 00:03:15,833
With Dash, you will have funds that are one hundred percents under your control.

47
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:24,034
