Greetings Sndbox! I'm @cahlen and I am submitting @speakfreely-tv as a project for your Summer Camp. You can learn more about the project in the video embedded above and in the article below.
What is Speak Freely TV?
Speak Freely TV is a platform which encourages people to record and publicly share videos of themselves conversing with others or speaking directly to the camera on topics they care deeply about from a place of authenticity and vulnerability.
I started the platform almost two weeks ago, so it's right in its infancy at the moment. Entering http://speakfreely.tv into any browser takes you to the Trending section of the #speakfreely-tv tag, so all someone has to do to participate is post a video on the Steem blockchain using that tag. The posts are then Upvoted and Resteemed by the @speakfreely-tv account to incentivize participation and maintain a historical record. Also, any videos posted on DTube are pinned on my personal IPFS Gateway to ensure they are never lost.
Currently I am the only one participating, though I hope to encourage many more people to get involved. All content I personally create (e.g. thumbnail templates, music, etc.) will eventually be hosted in a GitHub project for others to use if they like, but people are also welcome to develop their own styles.
By participating in the Sndbox Summer Camp program I hope to receive guidance and support from the more experienced Steem community. Some ideas for the longer term development of the project include a standalone website, expanded IPFS video storage with redundancy, and perhaps even a Smart Media Token (SMT). In the short term I will be focused on recording new videos, encouraging others to do the same and building visibility.
I invite you to check out the @speakfreely-tv feed to get a better sense for the type of content the platform is aimed at supporting.
Who is Cahlen Lee?
I am a former Producer and Project Manager in the Video Game Industry who has quit my job, packed all of my things into a truck and moved out into the wilderness to free up my time and energy to focus on creating content which I feel supports Humanity in realizing its full potential. Check out @cahlen to see the articles and videos I've created detailing my Minimalistic and Nomadic Lifestyle.
I am also a Certified Human Potential Coach who works privately with individuals striving to realize their full potential and contribute their unique gifts to the uplifting of humanity.
Thank You Sndbox!
Thank you @sndbox for your consideration and for creating such a cool initiative! Your future looks bright and I hope to have an opportunity to be a part of that.
