Idea: A movie/video promoting CES

[Karl Harris]

I love Les Squire's organized discussion articles on what a CES is and how to use the program.

How many people do you think would like to see a video or movie which shows off the benefits of a CES exchange? Imagine having access to a video you can show to prospective members which can show some of the benefits and show examples of several CES transactions taking place which illustrate people using the exchange in different ways.

I think that this would be an good tool to have at our disposal to show people for initial exposure, to break through the "defensive" wall that most people build up against new ideas.

I would love to help contribute toward an idea like this and I am sure there are a lot of people out there that could help with ideas, content, development and production.

Saludos from a Hispanic Comrade!
I was planning on making a video for my CES group when Sebastian pointed my attention to this discussion. I think that what you guys have going is very cool and different than what I had in mind but we could definitely be useful to each other. The video I was thinking of doing is a-short-as-possible clip advertising CES and explaining very briefly what it is. It would be used mainly to capture new users and propagate the concept.

In order to construct this video I was going to source the footage from other videos online and add a voice-over. I foresaw that the video would be mostly distributed online so it doesn't have to be TV quality. One of the videos I was going to use is http://vimeo.com/4395930 but it is covered in Spanish subtitles. If you guys could point me to videos online where I could find good footage relating to the exchange system I would really appreciate that. And if you could provide me with footage you recorded yourselves that would be even better!

I would be prepared to record the voice-over both in Spanish and in English and make it available for everyone to use. I will draft a script up ASAP and upload it to this discussion board. Shall we use this message board to communicate?

Also, are we sure there isn't anything already made?

Here are the scripts for the voice overs. Tell me what you think of them and feel free to suggest as many changes as you like.
