A revolution video

[JoeTB]

Hello,

I am not good at making videos. This is my first one. I hope it helps.

Hi, Joe,

It's amazing to me that some of the EU ideas can inspire people to communicate in ways that may achieve wide effectiveness in the age of the Internet. Let me stick to a few basic observations, here, and not get into trying to do a critique on what you are saying. The following is meant to be as positive and constructive a critique as possible, and I encourage you to keep on and polish this work up some more.

The earlier portion of the presentation was colorful and moved and changed frames frequently, all good for keeping the viewer's interest. I have to say thanks for the nod to the Thunderbolts website, as well. Your choice of music was better in the first portion than the Willie Nelson cover in the last part. The segue between the two audio backgrounds was just too abrupt. Work on that, for sure.; it's a jarring note that leaves the viewer wondering if they want to continue. I like Willie's music (a lot), but City of New Orleans has about as much relevance as Red Headed Stranger to your thesis about catastrophes from the skies. Still, it's better than some of the moody electronic background for narrations that I've seen.

Speaking of narration, the last part is all about... reading a scientific treatise to oneself! You don't need YouTube to do that. Page after page of typed text is unlikely to attract your revolutionary audience, I'd be willing to bet. Because of your time limitations, you've had to change pages too often, forcing the readers (like me) to repeatedly pause and continue to absorb the information.

Think about people's general lack of concentration today, with minds fried on a steady diet of fantasy games and tweets. Consider shortening and distilling the text sections into a more bullet point type of presentation, and even post them that way if you have to, but a voice reading the short points while a "movie" of associated phenomena, or graphs for comparison or pictures of fireballs, etc. would be much more helpful in keeping the viewer's interest high.You mentioned the Taurid complex - Dennis Cox's site http://craterhunter.wordpress.com/ has a lot to say and show on this subject, along with Bob Kobres at http://abob.libs.uga/bobk/overview.html . You might be able to contact these gents and/or get some more ideas and information and possibly imagery from them and their websites. Plasma plays a large role in their views, I might add, and they are as catastrophic in orientation as yourself. Get some motion on the screen! Eyes go for that like frogs go for flies - it's reflexive.

If you can gain some time, (or need a follow-up: "Next: Part Two — What We Can Do About Heading Off Doomsday Events") then follow through on what scientists and dreamers say about what could be done, if anything, to head off these sorts of events. Not Space Cowboys stuff; real things that if planned and executed well might just keep these bad boys off our planet. Plenty of lead time, constant thrust pushes to nudge the rocks out of a collision trajectory, no nukes that just create lots more impactors, etc. It's there; cover it.

Don't say you are not good at making videos. Say you are just starting out and intend to get better. Then make it so, Number One! Good luck. People are watching.

Hi Jim,

Thank you for the input. I'll work on it!

Would you be able to point me in a direction as far as "What We Can Do About Heading Off Doomsday Events", with maybe a link or two? I think that would be great to include.

* It needs a lot of work, Joe, but it's a lot better than mine, as I don't have any.
* The pages of text would be better if you can maybe start with showing the whole page, then focus in on highlighted parts.
* The best background song about revolution is probably The Who's song, "Won't Get Fooled Again".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-ReuLZ2quc YouTube video with Neil DeGrasse Tyson. Good.

That search took about 5 minutes including pasting the URL's and skipping the less helpful junk. Go forth and surf!

It isn't very clear as to why Ron Paul makes an appearance in the video other than to insinuate that there is a growing level of anti-establishment sentiment in the general population.

I watched your vid but it's unclear what it is about.
new revolution... (about what ?) and plants stars and comets grow. that's all i got from the video.
AS said already above one does not watch a video to read text. I actually did not read any of the text frankly i don't think any one will.
the screen and text are to small to read quickly.

Further more who is the intended audience ?
Is it for USA only ?
Who is Ron Paul ?

Keep it up

Hello all

The first part of your video was great, but i think your misrepresenting the Thunderbolts.info team by linking them to the growth theory. From everything i've read and watched about the E.U there's no need for growth, the continents were electrically machined.

Just watch

http://thunderbolts.info/online_videos.htm

Then take a look a google earth, it seems pretty obvious to me.

[orrery]

The machining of continental features doesn't replace growing earth theory.

That said, to the OP, you have a kindred spirit with me.
I support Growing Earth, Electric Universe, & Ron Paul passionately myself. Proud to live in now Senator Rand Paul's state.
