What if we made a short animated video that explained succinctly the media turned a nothing into a something, and how this is a pattern that plays out all the time? Could we get the message out? Could we make it go viral?
One of the things my company does is make small "explainer videos". Short, animated and voiced over videos that explain stuff.
Could we, as a crowd, source a 140 word (we would animate this off the clock so it needs to be short) script in the next twenty four hours that gives the clearest picture of what just happened. I think it needs to be non-partisan and focus on making the facts clear.
I was going to do this myself. I am pretty sure it will be better with the collective insight and smarts of SoSH. Anyone interested?

- No more than 140 words (would yield a ~ 60 second script, The more you want it to travel the more succinct you have to be)
- Some explainer-type Motion Stories:
Sonoran Institute - Chick-fil-A

- Guidance:
An explainer video is meant to boil down a complex concept into layman's terms so that anyone can understand the important facts, messages, and context. It's helpful to have an introduction that lays the groundwork on the topic and presents the question at hand, then the facts and key messages, and then a closing that sums it all up and helps the viewer absorb the "so what?" Shoot for shorter sentences with a casual, conversational tone - this works well in a narrated video.
