Hi everyone, i've been trying to formulate a script for a 6minute video featuring as many of us as possible to use for a crowdfunding campaign and for the SOL//ODD youtube channel. Please take note it is UNFINISHED and it will need to change according to what you would all like us to say.... It will most probably have to be filmed via our webcams - as we have no funds to film it.... If anyone has any other means that it could be filmed - then let us know... ALSO - my idea is for TWO videos - one is of 6 mins length and the other is of 3mins length preferably with animations. THE READOUT OF THE VIDEO CAN BE VIEWED HERE:

(please note that the video above does NOT include Berge's edits to the script he emailed me today 22/5/15) but the script below DOES include his edits.

@pete1 @emmawardle @lbjoum @bergedersarkissian @francois1 So would any of you guys be willing to APPEAR in the video?

Yep... It may take a couple of takes (I can see the board snapper dude saying... take 50) but would love to give it a go.. Oh did I mention I have a great face for radio?

Thanks Pete - we REALLY need a professional filmer to help us... The filmer will have to catch a plane around Australia to film us all - obviously.... I know Francois is a professional filmer - so perhaps he could help us also?

No problem.. I'll ask if he is interested.
Having all the video editing gear may help also

@emmawardle Hi Emma - what do you think of the video used here?: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/direct-democracy-party#/story
My feeling is its good - but lacks real people that are actually involved with the party- what do you think?
Here is their facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/directdemocracyparty
perhaps they did so badly on their crowdfunding campaign because they simply were not known about?
They are not even listed on the wikipeadia list of Direct Democracy parties worldwide (but WE are)

Agree!

It also makes me think Pete (& anyone who is bothering to read this) that we need to dramatically lower our initial fundraising goal amount on our crowdfunding campaign because over 2months/8 weeks that party only managed to raise $2,729.00 US dollars! (1% of their indiegogo goal) their time limit has now EXPIRED in a country with 318 million people compared to ours with a population of 24 million.... we obviously need to think VERY CAREFULLY about how we run our first crowdfunding campaign.... we may even need to borrow some money as a group to fund it better - then recoup it... we need to spend more on advertising.... but we need to borrow first .....perhaps as does wikileaks - perhaps we should charge a membership fee? ( i signed up to them about a month ago and paid my $20 membership fee) and i'm unemployed and on the DSP.
