If you are sick and tired of mediocre media, propaganda programming, consumer culture, chaos exploitation, and being told what and how to think by those with stolen resources, then be active in developing better entertainment trying to make the world a better place and put the Machiavellians and their normie lackeys to shame.

I seek and welcome feedback while inviting you to participate in my epic journey attempting to improve our world through meaningful impacting narratives.
 

GLOSSED OVER - Summary

Glossed Over

  • Glossed Over is the over-arching discussion for participating in the evolution of content published from all of the Glossed And Profound cross-related projects listed hereafter.
  • Glossed Over: Content Overview

Glossed And Profound

  • Glossed And Profound is a new open crowd-sourced model for project development and production management that will be transparently published on this subsaidit as it develops, refines, and evolves with public feedback and participation.
  • Glossed And Profound: Content Overview
  • Glossed And Profound is a variant on "lost and found" with deeper layers of meaning. There are two great dead zones in the vast oceans of media today. Corporate propaganda media seems to be nearly void of edutainment that is impactful towards improving our lives, while high quality professionally polished independent truther media is far and few between. Further, there is a great manufactured vacuum where alternative solutions like worker directed enterprises should be thriving. With grace and fortune we may succeed in filling all three.
  • Glossed And Profound will, in no particular order:
    1. develop an open-source transparent production management system to develop projects
    2. develop an open-source transparent financial management system to invest in infrastructure and reward work
    3. develop an open-source transparent quality and ethical merchandising system to reward fans and projects
    4. develop an open-source transparent social media promotion system to spread awareness and raise support
    5. produce a short animation that will be used as 1) a SaidIt promotional spot (commercial), 2) an introduction for /s/ZoonPolitikon independent journalism, and maybe 3) open for the first series of Trutherism 101
    6. finish writing, storyboard, and publish Bittersweet Seeds as a graphic novel and feature film screenplay
    7. finish writing, animate, and distribute Trutherism 101 as a series then compile into a mockumentary
    8. continue helping and developing SaidIt, Truther Top 20s, Truther Newbie Crash Course, WikiSpooks, and other Truther-related projects
    9. finish writing my other screenplays for production, including "The Rendezvous", "Deerhurst", "The Long Black Veil", "Mad", and others.
    10. develop and produce projects from and with other people
    11. pursue these goals over as many years as it takes until I die of old age
  • Glossed And Profound will be the promoted brand of the "original creative geniuses", thereby retaining and maintaining some quality control as the GaP stamp of approval will legitimize and endorse worthy open-source content contributions and reward them.
  • This open-source model may fail or it may succeed. Others may emulate or learn from our mistakes. If we don't try we'll never know. If we don't try we'll never achieve success no matter how great or small.

Bittersweet Seeds

  • The Bittersweet Seeds subsaidit is for developing an epic hard science fiction cautionary tale, screenplay, storyboard, graphic novel, and feature film project that will be transparently published on this sub where it will be refined, developed, and evolve with public feedback.
  • Bittersweet Seeds: Content Overview
  • Hard science fiction is "characterized by concern for scientific accuracy and logic" so there are no magical creatures or exceptional technologies that defy common sense and physics. Because technology is growing at such a rapid pace I've found it difficult to feel confident about what the new developments in the world will be like beyond 2050 or so. Moreover, part of the "real world building" includes truth seeking to understand the future via historical precedent establishing geopolitical contextualization for events to play out in.
  • Bittersweet Seeds aims to be palatable to intelligent mainstream audiences. Non-fictional conspiracies within will be minimal or background Easter eggs. (Trutherism 101 will address contemporary conspiracies full on.) Sadly most media is simple minded distraction with few if any lessons, warnings, or greater context that may affect or improve our lives. I want to see more content like this out there.
  • Several formats (outlines, treatments, breakdowns, creative directions, etc) will be cultivated to ultimately arrive at a screenplay, storyboard, and graphic novel, that could lead to a feature film, all shared here on SaidIt with Glossed And Profound.

Trutherism 101

  • The Trutherism 101 subsaidit is for developing a anti-authoritarian, anti-corruption, agitprop, philosophy-comedy, animated-short series project that will be transparently published on this sub where it will be refined, developed, and evolve with public feedback.
  • Trutherism 101: Content Overview
  • Trutherism 101 aims to hit the most critical issues, spun with humour, comically critical of all views including my own, though without delving into woo. The meme-like series of animated-shorts will be developed here on SaidIt. Most of these shorts will fit on the framework of a larger ambitious narrative outline. This outline is the basis for a Trutherism docu-mockumentary feature film.
  • Trutherism 101 will provide Bittersweet Seeds background contextual understanding for globalization predicaments the masses are ignorant of. It's also intended to be a productive release valve for my conspiraphilia so the Bittersweet Seeds story doesn't get overloaded and alienating to the masses. T101 will support the deeper ideas in BsS, as TT20 will back up the ideas of T101 with citations for those curious seeking more answers and good research.
  • I'll do the first season myself alone if I need to. By sharing here I hope to inspire recruits and help along the way, especially after the first series gets released. The entire process, from conception to script, from storyboard to animatic, eventually to final product, will all be developed here on SaidIt with Glossed And Profound.

Truther Top 20s

  • Truther Top 20s is an open discussion and wiki-list series for quick references and talking points on serious matters regarding our world's corrupted political landscape and rewritten history. The simple truth is hard to deny.
  • Just as T101 will support the deeper ideas in BsS, so too, TT20 will back up the ideas of T101 with citations for those curious seeking more answers and good research.

Behind it lies a complex largely forgotten history dating back over one-and-a-half centuries. Look into it.

Truther is a dumb name, it's going to turn people off.

Seek out material that teaches you how to write with brevity. You are way too long, have far too many links, and nobody can read all of this. Publish in small bites.

Truther is a dumb name, it's going to turn people off.

I agree, in part.

I'm also intending to make fun of everything, including truthers. If I can get people to laugh at it all, then I can also embed a bunch of uncomfortable truths that most people won't or don't usually think about. One of the goals is to subvert common tropes and misconceptions.

If more people also raise objections to the working title then we can do a survey for better names. Without any suggestions offered to consider it won't be changed.

Excellent points.

These "Content Overview" posts are like my letter of intent or business plan, so I was aiming for clarity not brevity. I'm not really expecting anyone to read all of these over today but expect they will prove useful in the future. I've still got a bit more foundation to lay before I even get to the stories.

Not everything will be this long. Some of the screenplay sections will be longer. I'd considered releasing the screenplay in half-act sections but always favoured publishing on a scene by scene basis.

All Trutherism 101 scripts must be as short and tight as possible to conserve on animation and keep the comedy punchy.

Dude, nobody is going to listen to anything labeled "truther". You know nothing about branding or effective communication and you're going to do a lot of work for nothing.

[–]JasonCarswell[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Maybe. Maybe not.

If it starts off as mockery and ridicule, folks may get drawn in.

I have decades of experience animating, mostly on commercials, and when not doing that I've done a lot of design work. I created the SaidIt logo. I know some things about branding.

Maybe I am doing a lot of work for nothing. Maybe I'm going to set an example, good, bad, or both, for others to learn from or build on.

So far you've said "truther" is stupid 3 times and failed to offer any good alternatives. Meanwhile, the title is actually "Trutherism 101".

[–]Chipit 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Look man, I don't know any other names. Truther or trutherism, people are going to take one look at it and drop it. It sounds like 9/11 truthers.
