Update/ Creating a video for Cosmos with DeFi Teller
Continuing the discussion from Creating a video for Cosmos with DeFi Teller : Update to the proposal This post is the follow-up to the previous proposal where we requested partial or full funding for the creation of the educational video about Cosmos. In the original proposal, we have been advised to prepare the script draft first, so the community has an understanding of what the final video would look like before committing. Our team has prepared the video script draft and I would like to share it with the Cosmos community. Would love to hear your thoughts on this. It took a little more time, but the script turned out quite detailed and can already become a basis for preparing the storyboard. We also made the link restricted to be able to control the distribution of the content that’s still under development. Hope for your understanding! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1acRaPgVlSXOB0M5Ld9bevunj-uIjG0OaTqMBYzMK_Rs/edit?usp=sharing Original proposal The purpose of this proposal is to obtain partial or full funding for the creation of an educational video about Cosmos with DeFi Teller. For one video we are looking at an allocation of up to 400 ATOM…

@lexa @andreas_k Hi guys thought you might be interested in reviewing the draft script ![]()
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1acRaPgVlSXOB0M5Ld9bevunj-uIjG0OaTqMBYzMK_Rs/edit?usp=sharing
The document is locked for outsiders ^^
First question which comes to my mind; will you create one longer vid or several smaller where each vid has a separate topic? Imho the latter is more effective in this day and age where infotorials are short videos showing 1 topic. And a next topic is a next video.
One thing to add as well is where we will use these videos. Good marketing tools are a must-have, but it also must mean that we will use it to spread the word. Is this aligned with a marketing strategy?
Could you please request access to the document? We’ll grant it once we receive the notification. As I said before, this was done for security reasons.
We can go either way, depends on what the community sees as the best option. Usually, we try to make the scripts more concise and under seven minutes in length as longer videos can affect the perception of the information. In cases where a project has too much information to fit into one video, we believe it is better to make a series of short videos rather than one long video.
I have sent the request ![]()
And I agree on the shorter vids, that is my preference as well looking at the “standard” in this day and age.

I think the basis is there, but needs some touches. Some first thoughts. Storyline For me, the line in the story is not entirely like a flow yet. For example; the transition here is not a logical one for me. Adding something like “but let’s first explain some of the basics” would create a better transition imo. Let’s dive deeper into the Cosmos architecture and see how the Internet of Blockchains works. First off, what is a VM? Security This part also needs a small addition: • Security Smart contracts: Their security is determined by the security of the blockchain software on which they are built. The architecture of a blockchain that is made to host smart contracts is complex, and it is very difficult to predict the security of such a base, which often leads to the projects choosing to launch on secure but overloaded blockchains like Ethereum. Application-specific Blockchains: it’s easy to check the security of a blockchain created from multiple modules - you just need to check how the different parts of your chain work with each other. In theory this is correct, BUT there is also a weakness in app-specific blockchains. Because for each blockchain…

Thank you so much, your comments are super helpful!
Yes, totally agree that the script is not smooth yet, but this is a draft version and of course it needs a lot of refinements. Also, there are still some questions that we would like to clarify with the Cosmos team/community. So, if the Cosmos team/community decides to commit, this script will be modified and supplemented, and we’ll surely add logical transitions.
The reason we’ve prepared this draft is to find out whether the Cosmos community would be interested in making Cosmos video together and covering at least a part of our costs.
With the current version of the script, the video will be approximately 10 minutes long. As discussed, we can break it down into two or three separate videos in case this proposal is approved.
I can help on the text and such, but I am not a video creator ![]()
Some very short videos would be good indeed.
Maybe it is good to tweak the proposal a bit for a long term proposal with informative videos and such. I think it goes way easier through governance that way.
Your help with the text will be very valuable
Do you mean to switch the category for this proposal?
I thing it is helpful to have a more longterm plan, that is in general better appreciated imo.
Asking funds for a one-time video or asking funds for a set of tutorials and info-vids would make quite the difference in outlining the added value for the Hub and the ecosystem.
I like the idea. Im a bit unsure about the price. Im in the content making business too and seems that 1k USD per minute is a bit too much. Im going to be honest, i prefer doing on talking. Alas, we dont have the time to produce something like this. But we can support this from our validator for a feature in the promo video. i.e. the video will be powered by citizen cosmos validator. Most (complex with 3d animation and pro) videos we order, do not exceed 300 usd per minute thought…
