Contest Brief

The contest is for a quick descriptional video for my website ( this is the site at it's current state http://www.giffty.in/projects/givingtree/). And if the winner's video is exceptional I will be rehiring them for many projects to come.

My organization is a non-profit Charitable Crowdgiving website. I would like a quick animated video that describes how crowdfunding works, how you can fill your life with joy by helping someone else, how contributing to someone else's life helps not just them, but you too by making your day brighter and makes the world just that much of a better place to live in. Every drop in the Ocean is a drop more than before.

The Script:
-A tree on a hill zooming into it and through a squirrel hole to blinding brightness and the start of the audio
-a cartoon (slightly realistic) image of myself in normal casual attire speaking (this is where you are free to be creative and animate what I'm saying with visuals).

************WORDS IN UPPERCASE ARE THE CHANGES TO THE SCRIPT******************
-"""Welcome to the Giving Tree.
-A simple FUNDRAISING PLATFORM aimed at producing generosity, joy, and community throughout the world
-A place, where at any moment, you can reach out and touch the lives of people in need DELETE THIS>anywhere around the world.<DELETE THIS
-Please read their stories, sympathize with them, offer words of encouragement, help spread their stories to others, but most of all pay attention.
-Pay attention to the joy that comes to your own life when you help someone else. REMEMBER THIS FEELING AND HOW SIMPLE IT WAS TO BRING JOY TO OTHERS, AND YOURS AS WELL. So, when you yourself are having a TROUBLING day, visit The Giving Tree and “produce joy”.""""

-zoom slowly out of the tree (with the Chinese proverb below carved into the trunk) which is now placed on top of the world growing noticeably larger with roots extending around the world and the world getting brighter where the roots touch. while the tree leaves are forming a faint image of “Produce Joy”

(I would like this proverb to be all in one quick shot that is not very noticeable and the viewer actually has to pause the video to actually read it)
-If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap-
-If you want happiness for a day, go fishing-
-If you want happiness for a month, get married-
-If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune-
-If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody else-

- this is where the descriptional section of the video starts that just briefly explains how crowdfunding works similar to a video like http://vimeo.com/68885491

-""""Crowdfunding is A GROWING PHENOMENON that allows PEOPLE to donate to a project or invention THAT INTERESTS THEM.
- Crowdgiving is a twist on this: IT ALLOWS PEOPLE TO JOIN TOGETHER TO GIVE DIRECTLY TO INDIVIDUALS IN DESPERATE NEED OF SUPPORT.
- Support to afford life-saving medical operations, support to REPAIR detrimental home DISASTERS or car disasters, or support for anything else DELETE> that is<DELETE causing great distress in someone's life
- Anyone! can create a fundraiser for themselves or for someone special, and Anyone! can donate to a fundraiser to help change the life of someone in need.

END

My site is going to be close to identical to this one: http://www.giveforward.com/ where they focus mainly on funding for medical expenses or other causes that are out of the campaign creator's control.

Please use the characters within my logo like the birds and the tree please.

  I have updated the brief description with what I would like expressed in the descriptional section. I would prefer it to not all be written out, and instead display visual examples like the fundly video of campaigns being funded. Showing the funds coming to the fundraiser, and helping them with their need

I have taken out some small parts of the video script to leave room for the explanation section at the end. I do not believe this will cause much of a hassle for changes since it is less to prepare, but I apologize if it has added additional work to your projects. Thank you all for your hard work and submissions.

  Oh, and the leaves I want to be very very unnoticeable that the leaves are even spelling out something as they move. As the tree is growing the leaves are forming in a weird way. At first glance you think nothing of it, but after another look you see that it is spelling something and that something is Produce Joy

Hi, I do think that the deadline is a little over it should be around 7 days MAX. But I got you, do you have a script and a voice over ready? Also it would help if you increase the price a bit. It does seem kinda low. Let me know, Thanks.

  I have included a script to the brief as you have requested. I have increased the payout to $350 with an additional $150 tip pending full satisfaction upon completion. I have also decreased the time to 3 weeks per your advice. I was uncomfortable with only 2 weeks since I have changed the script on people.

I have updated a script within the Description Brief to give you guys a better picture of what I'm looking for. Sorry to all of those that have already started and have to make major changes to their current videos. I have upgraded the price another $100 to now $350 and I will gladly place a generous tip to $500 if the end product is exactly as I want it.
