Hi all,

As some of you are aware, I've been doing a lot of work on YouTube with videos of Entropia Universe, among other videos. My main focus of course in Entropia Universe and my mission is to help raise awareness of how good Entropia is on the whole.

In addition to this, I many have felt over the years that political alignment of the EBN organisation has given us nothing but a drip fed heavily redacted and censored view of events within the Entropia Universe.

I've noticed another franchise is doing well publicly with its own news style show, and I felt it would be a good thing to introduce the same concept for Entropia Universe. So without further a do I present to you all:

I've set this up single handedly thus far (aside from Sausage Fingers' aid with the first show), but I am looking for willing volunteers to do field reporting and interview segments.

If you're interested, please PM here on Planet Calypso Forum.

Thanks for reading, watching, liking and subscribing! I truly appreciate the support I've been given so far.

Good start, and I did a double take at your filming location - :eyecrazy:

You are welcome to use my apt anytime and fix those sound issues ;-)
 
Hehe, thanks Skeezer. Much appreciated!

Still looking for volunteers :)
 
Thanks Toecutter, I'm just scripting the next one at the moment. Need to record it all over the weekend. Unfortunately it's proving difficult to get people to interview :(.

Still need reporters to do field stories though! :)
 
Who are you looking to interview? Also, perhaps some of the people who offer services can record commercials to advertise their businesses, which you can re-use in your episodes!

Yes that's the long term plan, get some commercials up there too, if people are willing to donate a few PED for the slots.

Perhaps, if the adverts pull in good revenue, then this could be profit shared to the field reporters. But that's like I said, the long term goal.
 
Next edition is up now :) Not as rich as last week, hopefully I can improve upon that this week.
 
Good stuff and getting better!

I liked the news items with forum links especially, and that ATH video is still fun to see.


:cool:
 
I'm a freelancer news reporter!!!! :cool:
You can count on my reports.
If I get an exclusive story I will give you a share.:whisper:
I supporter and subscriber to your effort already and I think you know it.

Thanks :)

Let me know the stories you're going to run with :)
 
Please note, there is availability to place your advert on the videos. Please contact me to arrange.

Pricing is done on a time basis, the longer the ad, the more it will cost. So to keep things transparent, some examples are below:

Base Pricing: 5PED/Second/Episode
Discount: 5%/week cumulative after first week to a maximum of 10 additional weeks
Code: 
(((x * 0.95) * 0.95) * 0.95 ... n<11)

The below is for illustration, as it is not expected that long duration long running adverts to be provided:
Code: 
Example 1: 10s for 1 week: 50PED
Example 2: 20s for 2 weeks: 200PED - 5% = 190PED
Example 3: 20s for 3 weeks: ((300PED - 5%) - 5%) = 270.75PED
Example 4: 20s for 4 weeks: (((300PED - 5%) - 5%) - 5%) = 342.95PED
Example 5: 30s for 3 weeks: ((450PED - 5%) - 5%) = 406.13PED
Example 6: 60s for 12 weeks: ((((((((((3600PED - 5%) - 5%) - 5%) - 5%) - 5%) - 5%) - 5%) - 5%) - 5%) - 5%) - 0%) = 2155.45

Important information:

  • Adverts need to be in Full HD (1080p) format without curse words.
  • Minimum Ad length is 5 seconds.
  • Links to external sites cannot be made real at the moment, only visual.
  • YouTube video or channel links are acceptable for real links.
  • Adverts can be rejected if they violate or suggest the violation of the Entropia Universe Terms.
  • A DropBox location will be provided for the advert video submissions, otherwise, you will need to provide a download link.
  • If you are unable to provide an advert, I can create the advert for a fee.
  • I reserve the right to change the prices at any time. Any adverts currently scheduled will not be affected by price changes.

Profit Share

Profits from the adverts will be divided up with the field reporters/contributors according to content provided each edition. Again, for transparency, this will divided up as follows:

In Edition Advert Revenue share:

IEN CEO: 50%
IEN Reporters and Contributors: 50% / n
where 'n' is the number of reporters and contributors.

I reserve the right to change the percentage share, however, it is unlikely to do so.

Love the videos.

Are you doing anything to promote these?

Must spread the rep.

Hi there, thanks :)

With regards to promotion;

  • I advertise them here on PCF on my threads :)
  • I advertise them over on Arkadia forum (RT forum I can't get my head around!)
  • I advertise them on facebook groups also
  • I advertise them within Entropia Universe using the rookie channel and other channels, although not too much.
  • I do other videos, to gain more attention then just the usual EU crowd
  • I advertise them (due to the SC videos) on the Roberts Space Industries forum.
  • I comment with hints to drop in on my channel also, on other videos, where appropriate.

Always open to feasible suggestions. :)

You've got more angles covered than I could have thought of. :thumbup:
 
I love what you're doing with these videos. I've watched through a few and they're really awesome.

I run the Entropia Revival Project and it's associated blog - I would love to touch base with you at some point and see if there's any way that we can help each other out. PM me if you would be interested - and of course, check out the blog if you haven't seen it already.
 
Awesome work!

Thanks for your kind words, PM me and we'll get the ball rolling.
 
The IEN broadcast is moving to Tuesday release. The reason for this is that due to the champions league, sometimes the results are not in on the night, this also gives me time to record that particular news item, rather than trying to squeeze it in on Sunday night.

This week's is underway :)
 
Great work AkiranBlade :wtg:

Nice to watch for a quick catchup of what's going on in the universe.
 
Keep up the good work; your show is a great way to keep abreast of all that is going on.

:cool:
 
IEN is my favorite channel :) great time to watch your videos!

Sorry I can't give a hand for the moment, because I have a new pleasent "headache" to take care for a while!
My new lil shop :laugh:
