TON Onboarding Youtube Shorts Series

[qpwedev]

Summary

QDev Studio propose to create a series of user-friendly TON onboarding short videos that cater to all people, regardless of their prior knowledge, using engaging animations and educational materials. These short videos will be accessible to a global audience with subtitles in multiple languages (Ukrainian, Russian, Czech, Romanian, Spanish, French, and Portuguese) and will promote TON's growth by attracting new users from the broader cryptocurrency community. Our aim is to create a unified, easy-to-understand knowledge base.

Context

Currently, there is a noticeable gap in the TON ecosystem when it comes to easily digestible video materials that cater to individuals with varying levels of expertise. Our studio, which specializes in modern animated videos and educational materials, is eager to bridge this gap by producing a series of engaging TON onboarding short videos. We have already created two videos for TON, which can be found on our YouTube channel. Our team possesses a deep understanding of TON, with @qpwedev successfully developing a channel about TON boasting over 500+ subscribers, including strong CIS, Chinese, and Indonesian communities, as well as several non-profit ecosystem projects.

Let's add one more short, that will explain why TON is more than just a blockchain. It'll be very good to show newcomers that TON is a whole decentralized internet with many components.

Overall, I strongly support this initiative!

@qpwedev, please post updates on your progress here and in #217 footsteps. Also, what about the timelines?

We've finally nailed down a style for these long videos, though I gotta say, it took us longer than we thought it would! The wallet video's all set - we're just sprucing it up with some final touches.

We're pretty sure that work will zip along quicker for the other videos now that we've got the style sorted out and processes streamlined.
