can you guys remake this scene with some physical bitcoins? but dont put it on your pocket.
id like to see this in bitcoin context.

Hmm, thats an awesome scene and very easy to alter in order to get a Bitcoin in there.
All you would have to do is replace the cuts when the coin is seen. That could be a great teaser for the final movie;)
I wonder whether we could use the material without legal trouble. If some user made it on the other end, Im not so sure whether that would be a problem..

What you guys should do is a kickstarter clone of your page.  If people knew they would be getting a physical DVD they'd 'donate' $60.  If some of the richer bitcoineers on here were offered a producers credit they'd donate BTC200. Even some of the bigger bitcoin businesses would be keen to fund some decent dough.

All you would need is make a plan of attack.  what would you give with what donation? Setting up the site would be a piece of cake.  It would just be buy it now type buttons with bitpay or whatever.


Hopefully, we'll be up by then but this is what we plan to offer is a Bitcoin Crowdfunding platform. Be great to have you up on the site once we are ready!  Grin

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending
Monster Tent has the best idea in making multiple short parts. This way it can stay current and also at a later time can be watched together to show the whole larger picture. And if one section is slightly outdated by the end it wont matter because it will be understood by the viewer.

Also, releasing shorter parts will allow faster completion of each part ensuring faster market availability to the consumer. If Bitcoin was not changing so rapidly I would say "just make a single, standard, long documentary".

-Doug

Hence saving all the footage and produce a 'Behind the Scenes' video after they win an Oscar for best Foreign Documentary or possibly some other category. Worse case scenario, they're dominated for something.

how much will it cost when it comes out?

can i per-order?
Paying for videos.... is that even a thing anymore?

Why not! Ten bucks/.25 BTC (~), with a bonus track included for those who pre-order. Now let's see what I can think of to include that would make this a success...thinking...thinking...almost got it...okay, maybe not a goat...thinking again...still thinking...OMG...Got it! Did you figure it out? ---> LadyBytes

how much will it cost when it comes out?

No, sry Adam, you cannot preorder Wink

All material will be published in time, free of charge with a free-to-use license. It will be made available openly on the net.
Our supporters however enjoy some privileges...

Have a look at our Donation Page to learn all about our Thank You Presents . Only so much: Supporters watch it first and get a hand signed DVD with tons of extras and unique content (among other crazy stuff!).

I think you better reconsider this. Did you see my suggestion? With my idea, you'll reach your $13K in no time. Besides, what the hell can you do with only 13K? I say go for $20K for starters.

This is not a joke post, for I'm behind your endeavor 100%. I'm also serious about the post above, available to only those who pre-order. Besides, she'll need to paid also for her services. Two to three hundred bucks should cover it. More if a goat is involved. (humor, that time)

You could hook Gavin Andresen up to a lie detector and ask if hes satoshi

You could hook Satoshi up to a lie detecor and ask if he's Gavin.  Grin

...................

WTF! Only $324.27 so far.

I'm going to go out onto a limb here and suggest that Bitcoin 100 donate $1,000 to this venerable endeavor. I have some pull over there, but do respect opinions of its members.

Bitcoin 100 was initially develop for this king of enterprise, let alone a young one, but it was designed to further the awareness of Bitcoin, of which this project would surely do if done properly.

I honestly believe that $13K is not enough, unless I'm missing something. Kickstarter, mentioned, is a pretty good idea. Also, if you sold 10 high-level exposure spots at $10K each from entities with a little depth in their pocketbook, that would definitely put you guys on the right path.

Also, I and a partner are currently developing a project of which we could help raise funds for you. Would you be so kind as to state the projected release date? I may have overlooked it if it was published on your website.

As far as spending funds to attend San Jose, I think that would take a big bite out of your pool. There is a conference coming up in Vienna, but I believe that is later in the year.

I believe the SJ conference is going to have a decent guy filming it of which the footage should be readily available. If you do attend, I suggest getting the cheapest plane tickets for two and hook up with some Bitcoiner near there, staying at their home. No more than two guys should be needed for said event, one of which is your camera guy.

Suggestion: Document where and how every bitcoin is spend, taking screenshots of the blockchain as proof, incorporating it into the documentary somehow.

I love the idea of somehow you interview one of the hackers or scammers.

1. Question: Who would you like to see on the Docu?


Pirateat40

If you promised to roll upto his house and do a full blown michael moore on him I'd pay to see that!

What you guys should do is a kickstarter clone of your page.  If people knew they would be getting a physical DVD they'd 'donate' $60.  If some of the richer bitcoineers on here were offered a producers credit they'd donate BTC200.

All you would need is make a plan of attack.  what would you give with what donation? Setting up the site would be a piece of cake.  It would just be buy it now type buttons with bitpay or whatever.  

You boys need to do this right. Camera, sound. A good presenter.  We could use this doco to show off bitcoin to the world.  Again, businesses would pay to have their name thrown at the front of it.

             GOOD LUCK

Have a look at our kickstarter clone over at:

We DO have DVDs (even Double DVDs!) and other MEGA special stuff in store for our supporters. Have a look!
And yes, we plan to do the full program.

Please come to Finland guys. We have a very lively community here, probably one of the biggest in the world. Relative to the population size, I'm confident that Finland has the most Bitcoin users anywhere.

Based on the trailer you have zero qualifications to be making a documentary about anything. Maybe a documentary about not knowing how to make a film. Hey wait if I watch the trailer under the assumption of it being about not knowing how to make a film then you are really bringing it home. Rock on.

True. I hope they can pay a talented editor with the funds raised.

I have to admit that we patched this teaser together in a hurry to stay within our schedule Roll Eyes
Its not done with the same amount of attention and skill that the final movie will. We are in exams period right now, thats why we had to rush things a bit. An overhauled version will be published shortly!

I also encourage everybody to make their own version of it. This is the spirit of the project. Free use and free to distribute, no rights reserved!
If somebody is interested in all of the unedited material available, let me know and Ill send them the files before the public repository is ready.


good
I would like to have those raw footage and make my own remix Cheesy


Hi rudrigorc2,

Pls give us some days more to make an upload with all the content so far, because we are pretty busy right now (interview arrangements'n'stuff).

We'll have an announcement on this site when everything's ready. Make sure to check back in the coming days!

Can't wait to see the first spoofs Wink



Where are you putting content? Do you need space? I could give you some GB in one ftp.

I think MEGA will do. If space is too limited, I can just make multiple uploads and distribute files. Maybe I have to come back to your offer though, for the final movie in HD or something.

Also, you could dramatically reduce the budget only by asking people to submit their own videos like they did in the awesome Life in a Day
No need to travel far.
I think this is the way to go. You give some instructions, ask some questions to guide them on what you are thinking of, then, you get tons of footage, use the ones that fits better.

Thats what we are encouraging users to do: Send us your copyright free material and we'll use it in the final movie if it fits!
However, most part of the actual movie will be shot by us to assure a regular standard, style and direction. If anyone is interested in shooting their own material, get in touch with us and Ill make some suggestions on how we could incorporate it!

Hey, I just wanted to wish your team the best of luck.  Personally the content I would like to see would mostly involve interviews with people outside of Germany (and travel isn't cheap these days x.x).  Perhaps you could arrange for a high-quality (aka better than Skype) two-way feed in these cases.  I'm personally most interested in three categories of people; 1) The mining pool operators (aka the people that operate "BTC Guild", "50BTC", etc) - 2) The software developers (those working on the main bitcoin client, as well as those who work on others apps and mining software) and 3) The hardware developers - these would probably be the hardest people to get interviews with, but all of those with successful (and possibly even unsuccessful) created ASIC hardware.

Just my two bitcents.  I understand that a majority of what I brought up is likely outside of the budget, but if I could create my "perfect bitcoin documentry", those would all be highly desired elements.  Also you might- great IRC distracted me and 20 mins later I have no idea what I could have possibly been getting ready to type.  Oh well, I'm sure it wasn't important =p.

Hi Mageant,

Nice that you like it  Cheesy

If you could use your PR-boosting-Monster-machine to get us more attention, we would be happy to offer you and your service Premium Ad Space (small) on our site, a clickable logo (YES, because you are one of the first!), and a full DVD of the movie as layed out HERE in our sponsors page. Let's call it promotion.

What do you say?

The only thing I would want to know is wether you have the qualifications to make a documentary. So far you have told us nothing about your background or which skills you possess that make this project feasible.

Im a Student of "Applied Media Science" at the Technical University of Ilmenau, Germany. My course of studies consists of theoretical elements of film (and other media) production, as well as practical ones. I have taken part in several film projects during my 3 years there on set and in the Marketing Department of a larger production.

My team consists of 4 students, doing their Master's Degree in "Media Technics", all have prior experience in practical film production and theoretical knowledge.

Our campus is equipped with the most up to date devices and infrastructure neccessary for recording and editing movies. All of witch are available to us. Different film projects are currently being developed there which an able community of young film makers, that can contribute to this project if need arises.

So we got the Know How, the Equipment and the Support to make this documentary reality. The only thing missing is MONEY!

To stay with the spirit of the Bitcoin project, I decided to raise funds exclusively with Bitcoin from the community that it comes from in the most transparent and open way possible instead of asking private or governmental film promotion funds to give me the money under some restrictive licenses.

Thank you for answering; I would update your opening post with this info.

A second thing I would add is your target; the amount of Bitcoin you need with a small financial overview. I don't mind helping out worthwhile projects but I want to know what my funds are being used towards.
