Looks like fun. If no one else volunteers, I’ll take a crack on it tonight. DO we have all the voiceovers? Including @yudhanjaya’s?
Not yet, but the deadline is tomorrow.
I had asked Giovanni to wrap it up, so if you prepare everything and we need only to add @yudhanjaya’s it will be ready really quick 
Second take. But it does not make too much sense to try and close this without knowing exactly what Yudha says.
There is a problem of balancing the volumes of the different audio tracks. Refer to the original files in Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1lABIVrEB-Jo5SyA2JUlyFoFnjNcrSmJ4
Ok, sorry then, but it is not clear to me at this point what I should do. I was waiting for the Yudha material in order to cut everything into a new teaser, but I see that it is already there. I spoke with @IvanC last week and he told me that the deadline was tomorrow.
@IvanC @nadia What can I do to help at this point?
p.s.
(If needed I have footage, music, and other backgrounds licensed material I’ve seleced ready to be used)

Hi, @estragon, I have just sent you an email. Your part is to launch an extensive promotional campaign. Two directions principally - pop (social media) and specialized press.
I think @nadia could use some of the material you have selected.
We were writing to each other simultaneously

Could you please upload the materials you have selected here: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1lABIVrEB-Jo5SyA2JUlyFoFnjNcrSmJ4
Still working on the trailer to embed in the post.
In the meantime @nadia’s idea is to use three small videos (@joriam, @yudhanjaya, @alberto) too in this way:
- Each person shares each video (vimeo) in their own communication channels with invitation to the event (“Join me at” and link to the registration)
- We also share them via the official ER channels etc and @estragon 's campaign on social media.

I’m totally onboard with this!
I’ve been already sharing the text invitation in a couple of writer’s discord channels I participate in (and people get really excited!) and I’m planning on making an announcement in my youtube channel — which is not big, but it’s about worldbuilding, so the audience is spot on.
I’ve also shared inside the enspiralverse, but most replies I got there are variations of “omg, this is the most Joriam thing I’ve ever seen”

You probably need to include our names and descriptions. Otherwise you hear people pontificating, and you are like “Huh?”. It makes a difference knowing we are authors (Nebula-nominated, even) and economists.
I like Yudha’s static picture. We could probably do the same with the other 2. Pictures are also the right place to write names/descriptions.
Small thing: are you sure about Joriam’s last sentence as the end titles run? “Brought to you by”) It looks like an error… cc @estragon
Could you give me access? Drive request sent.
@alberto alberto Adding names is indeed needed.
About the rest, let me ping @IvanC. He knows more than me. I’m just the hand.
i’ll send you a working link
The bit selected from my script feels a little like crashing the party with sudden dystopia. Can I recommend replacing the current audio with the more hopeful end snippet?
"This is the power of speculative fiction. Not to predict, as is often claimed, but as a testbed for ideas. As a way of taking concepts and giving them life, watching them play, and understanding; until some distant future comes along that some of these ideas become plausible realities.
As a writer, as a creative, and as a person who spends most of his life at the intersection of technology and politics, I want to use this power. As the vast, complex social systems we have set in place today start to look increasingly fragile, exploitative, anti-human, I want to help imagine different ways of doing things; ways of organizing ourselves, and our societies; to test ideas found in books and the scribblings of economists and philosophers and see how they might work out. A simulation, if you will; a shared world of narrative that we can all explore in."

I liked the bit about the writers!
But ok, @estragon , could you please change it like this?

So do I! It just felt a bit dystopian there.

Hello guys,
This is the final final version of the teaser and this is the embed code: <iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/481641392" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowfullscreen></iframe> if you prefer it.
I would ask you to share this too through your personal channels together with this link for the registration and alberto’s post.
Me and @estragon will take care of the ER side of the outreach.
Thank you!
@alberto, @nadia, @joriam, @michi1, @marcolok, @hugi
