Great video Stef, Mike and Stoyan. Some powerful data there. Funnily enough I made many of these stats into an infographic last month, see below. You can share sections of this infographic from our social media: https://facebook.com/fishything https://twitter.com/fishythingy Also I put a thread out two weeks ago saying I would be interested in doing work with FDR. See that thread and more infographics on spanking, war and tax here: https://board.freedomainradio.com/topic/45596-heres-how-truth-reason-can-reach-more-people-animations-with-data/

This is why I think that 5 minute animations would better serve as introductions to truths or principles. For example a video each for: the truth on single parents, spanking, free market, government debt, immigration + non-aggression principle etc. With a concise script you can fit a significant amount of info into a 5 minute video like this one I mentioned before. Then to expand and handle rebuttals we'll have Stef's hour long version which I'll listen to whilst cooking my dinner . Also thanks for the feedback. Appreciate the support. When you refer to audio, are you talking about background music and sound effects? I only really had a voice over in mind, do you think music would help or hinder? Ofcourse it's for FDR staff to decide, but if viewers express an interest in new content I'm sure Stef and Mike are more likely to entertain the idea. That's why I'm asking the viewers as well as the staff

Thanks guys for the positive response. But what do you guys think about animating these? I think FDR would benefit greatly from 5 minute animations on core subjects to bring people up to speed with the conversation. Please read my rationale in the last post and let me know what you think? I contacted Mike months ago before I did most of this work. Now I'm back to restart the conversation. Do you think FDR would benefit from this stuff?

Hi there, this is my first topic on FDR. What I'm about to say has been a year in the making. For more than 12 months I've been creating infographics revealing data on meaningful subjects (Taxes, War, Spanking, Immigration, etc) mainly researched, written and designed by myself, with some support here and there. The work is published under the name Fishything, ill let you guess why. You can click the thumbnails of the work below to see the full (very long) versions in detail. I'm reaching out to Stef, Michael, Stoyan and FDR viewers for several reasons: • What is your feedback/criticism? • I would be interested in teaming up with FDR and/or others to produce infographic animations. Here's why I think FDR would benefit greatly from short infographic animations 5 minute animations using illustration and data accompanied with a voice over (such as Stef) would be a highly engaging way to communicate truths and principles from FDR quickly and concisely. This would be a great way to bring people up to speed with the conversation. Also many videos which do this well can go viral because they work independently and have wider appeal. This is unlike many of Stefs videos which require prior understanding of what Stef is about or thing's he's said before. This infographic (propaganda) animation on Syrian migrants has 8 million views: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvOnXh3NN9w Also FDR's most successful video is the 'The story of your enslavement'. I wonder if a big part of the success is because Stef's voice is accompanied with visuals in a short video? FDR staff and users, what are your thoughts? Would animations boost FDR's success? Any FDR animators interested? Why do I want to team up rather than go it alone? Currently each infographic has taken me between 40-70 hours of time to research and build. A lot longer than i had hoped. Doing this on top of a full time job means it takes around one month to produce one graphic. If I could find a reliable partner to do the research this would take away half the working time. If I could work with an animator the product would be even more engaging. I have experience directing several animations in the past and would be able to assist the storyboard process. Ultimately my passionate in life is to share truth, reason and evidence in a way which will communicate effectively to the most number of people. If you or anyone you know would be interested in working together then please let me know. Please follow all the work here: http://fishything.com https://twitter.com/fishythingy https://facebook.com/fishything Thanks for reading. Now here's the latest infographic just released today:

"Speed Debating" - Spewing Assertions / Facts Trumps Arguments
fishything replied to shnugwa's topic in Current Events
My jaw dropped to the floor during that fox news footage when the videomaker revealed the actual footage from the debate. Not what I expected at all, especially the use of the n word every 5 seconds, of course this is not debating! -
This influx of 'migrants' is very concerning. I think this issue divides public opinion by those who form their opinions based on either emotion or reasoning. I get the sympathy I really feel it, but then I look at the data, look at the history, look at how the majority muslims are currently integrating into european culture. That sympathy turns into concern. I would be far more approving of migrants settling in Europe if the evidence demonstrated that the majority would integrate into communities, approve the western values of freedom etc. Unfortunately that isn't the case. Attached to this post is some data I posted on my twitter @fishythingy relating to this issue. I get the impression that those Muslims who actually want to integrate end up struggling to. Is the cultural gap too far for many? I might combine some of the attached stats with the stuff Doody found from the UN. Shocking to hear that actually 3/4 are men and only 1/2 are Syrian. Not the picture painted by the media at all!
