Why PauseAI introduction video

@Aryan Suri and I are working on a video that condenses our most important messages in 10-20 minutes. What are the risks from AI, why do we need to and can pause, how can you help?

It will be loosely based on the talks I've been giving, although far more condensed.

Script here, feedback welcome!

During our last action meeting there were some people who had some thoughts on this. I know @John Sherman was one of them.

Great idea! I'd be happy to help out if I can be useful. I requested access to the script

Some brainstorming ideas:

Could have different people narrate different sections of the script to highlight the diversity of the community
Emphasize the variety of reasons people support the movement from existential concerns to job loss to creative destruction. This shows that this is an inclusive community of people united by a shared mission

I like the idea of trying with a medium size video

I just requested access to the script as well :)

Long enough to be able to feel personal and real

@Joep Meindertsma Due to the file's location, it can't be set to allow everyone (non-org-members) to comment by default. If you want to allow everyone to comment, the file can be moved to the PauseAI Public Drive in the projects folder.

I think a scene that would play really well towards the end is something where we get members of PauseAI to answer the question "Why do I want a Pause?" and we do a fast cut jumping from person to person expressing different reasons with some good inspirational music or something behind it

Especially if we're thinking about making it the front page of the website

spotty-amber•6/25/24, 7:49 PM

I'm going through the script right now and adding some suggestions, feel free to accept or discard whatever

see above! THis is really cool

hurt-tomatoOP•6/27/24, 5:47 PM

The trick this studio did was to combine experts with actors (pretty people we already know & love)

sacred-rose•6/27/24, 7:41 PM

well, i'm not a fan of that video tbh

sacred-rose•6/27/24, 7:41 PM

also, i'm surprised you say that given that it is pretty different that the script that you wrote, with the length that you wrote

sacred-rose•6/27/24, 7:41 PM

yours seems a lot better and personal imo

sacred-rose•6/27/24, 7:44 PM

that video was repetitive
it didn't told me anything new
it didn't told me how to act
i don't even know if i fully agree with 2 of the points they made
another point wasn't even relevant
i didn't understand the gimmick of the name

sacred-rose•6/27/24, 7:45 PM

I guess editing wise was good

Scroll all the way down this page to a nice vid. Perhaps without the "outrage" beginning. https://climatemajorityproject.com/take-action/#

Question: where will this vid be featured?
Can I contribute my version/vision?

sacred-rose•8/8/24, 5:18 PM

what happened with this? is there a way I can help with it?

sacred-rose•10/3/24, 2:42 AM

Should it be vertical or horizontal? I feel Horizontal would be perfect for the website, but for "virality" / sharable purposes vertical should be better.
Maybe vertical is alright for a website or maybe we should have 2 versions.
