One of my board members suggested I make a short video that illustrates our mission. This is the first 48 seconds that tells our vision.

What do you think? (this is only the intro - I'll be getting into more specifics later in the video)

Ok I get the air in the water bubbling and rising up is illustrating the analogy of kids rising up. So I see your point kids rising up to be inspired to change. Clever. I did have to stop and had to think about it a little to get it!

:rofl: At first I thought is was plain and a little confusing but thought it has to have a meaning!!! So that's what I came up with! :rofl: But it works! :D That's how you need to sell it if you do go with that video! :cheers:

My 2 cents worth.

Good first part. I mean really good. :dance:

Leave the Scientist part out at the end. Are they not the experts on your program? Change it to something like "The inventors of tomorrow"

Switching it from children focused to adults focused midstream does not work.

JMHO. :cheers:

Very cool.

One comment, as the water boil comes to a peak, the pace at which the letters dissolve should increase, to match the music and the water intensity. :cheers:

I think it's a great start. IMO, adding data's suggestion would make it even better.

And boobs. Add some boobs. :boobies:

Great stuff! Thanks. It needs a bit of tweaking for sure.

In my professional opinion, it needs more naked chicks on trampolines.

Looks professional and well done. Makes me think of some clean water for the world project or something, maybe desalination plants? I don't know what you do or what this will end up being but looks great so far. :cheers:

Shouldn't you fade Enzo's pic in at the end ? That would be memorable

That being said....I got it!!! Looks good. But then again, that is coming from a dude that is currently drinking Jim Beam watching "Kermit, the swamp years" on the movie channel.:D

I don't want to single him out. This is really part of a much larger initiative. It includes teacher training and parent workshops as well as other media properties beyond Exploration Nation.

The idea is to reach and inspire 30 million 4-6th grade kids. Out of that, perhaps 20 mil go to college. Some percentage persue science degrees. Some percentage end up having careers in science. Some smaller number are extraordinary in their fields.

And one of those 30 million kids, changes everything.

Call me crazy.
