Hello
Hello
Please interpret this message as emitted with a positive emotion and wanting to help you, but I will criticize you for you to improve.
As Peter and Gino say you are going totally off track, with no doubt with good intentions you stated to focus too much in the way the message is portrayed and too little in the substance of the message.
Most of the people watching you are people interested on open source, and open source cameras, open source cinema. I am personally interested on the photogrametry side applications of an open source camera, like book scanners,machine vision, or 3d scanners as I am already using commercial DSLRs for it and suffering the pain of having everything blocked behind proprietary and patented file formats, controls and stuff.
Seriously I can't believe you can't make a more interesting report with what you have so far. You are supposedly film makers and should know the trade of making an interesting film to human beings or know the people who can make it for you. You already have an audience very interested in the camera. Show us the camera, show how it is manufactured, or prototyped, talk with the suppliers on camera, or the people of Magic lantern, talk about the problems you have to deal with as people from all around the world are watching you and probably can help you solve them... but staying in a sofa with just yourself is too dull.
Even if have nothing new to say you can say the same things you put already on letters but explain it on person on camera, like the specifications of the sensors because it is a much better way of getting your message across. You can use a simple blackboard to help you.
I have seen the CNC machine you have in a picture, the prototype and electronics in another. If I were you I could have been talking at least an hour about each of those and keep the audience engaged as this people is already self selected and interested on the topic.
It looks like you are hiding data and the open source camera is not that open, this is my perception after watching the last video. It feels like you hold fears about being open or there is something wrong behind. I can not see what it is, if there is financial problems or responsibility fears or anxiety or whatever but I can sense something is there.
