eBelgium Advertising (Youtube)

by **Mike Wooldridge** 2010-04-28, 18:45

I was on youtube , and i was thinking to myself i'll have a look if there is a video advertising eBelgium.
Ofcourse there was no video representing eBelgium as an idependent country but there was this one for the eUNL , which was posted when ePoland and eSpain had invaded eFrance and eGermany.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tA3EdVym4H8
I've got to say it is a pretty epic video , with a matching soundtrack.

But its made me think , maybe we could make some videos advertising eBelgium on youtube , as long as you have music radio

(to keep people interested) , and a brief idea of what eBelgium and eRepublik am , we should be able to get a few more citizens in eBelgium , i'm not saying a babyboom , just as in every little helps.
Also a Dutch , French and English version of the video would be a good idea.

So does anybody want to work on this idea?

I'll have a go at a video. (I'll need translations tho) Any Ideas of what to put in? I'm open to anything ATM.

by **Mike Wooldridge** 2010-04-28, 19:07

Well i was thinking a title saying "eBelgium needs you".
Message's about:
eBelgium's neutral stance in a chaotic world.
A growing friendly community.

An maybe a message towards the end saying "You could become a legendary citizen , or the beloved Leader of eBelgium"

I might have a go at making one myself , but first i will have to make a youtube account and try and get windows movie maker working. And i'm terrible at translating , i guess i could use that google translator though.

by Medrolke 2010-04-28, 19:11

Why don't be both make one (and anyone else that wants to for that matter) and post 'em here. We can then have a vote to find the best.

by **Mike Wooldridge** 2010-04-28, 19:14

Yeah , good plan , could end up being a competition or something lol

by **Sammy Tanghe** 2010-04-28, 19:30

nice initiative, I say Razz

by **Olv007** 2010-04-28, 21:56

Great idea. And ask here for translations, we can do it.

by **Mike Wooldridge** 2010-04-28, 22:56

Well i've completed one , now to just translate it into french and Dutch , i might just do that tomorrow though.

Great but there are some writing mistakes. Maybe ask our friend Rod if his wife can make some corrections to it.

Sometimes there are letters who are difficult to read because the background is also white. Maybe use black outlines for the letters?

by **Mike Wooldridge** 2010-04-29, 00:15

I'll correct it with the next 2 , did u notice your name in the newspaper article by the way Olv007?
It's a very old article btw.

Edit: Just noticed i spelt government wrong :/

I'm mod at an online game called roekoe. It's a very popular game with about 3000 active players and in something more than 1 year, there have been 13000 accounts. I have put your youtube link there and I'm pretty sure people will try this out.

And with the elections being over now, they have the time to get to know the game and the different parties before they vote. Or they can quit in time of course :p

by **Mike Wooldridge** 2010-04-29, 10:16

Thankyou 07raul07 Smile

Can somebody tell me if these translation are ok , and correct me if they am not , thankyou.

Dutch Translation:

Toen was de wereld verdeeld
We stonden alleen

Terwijl de vlammen van de oorlog verwoeste Europa
Ervoor gezorgd dat we niet in brand gestoken met het

Wanneer we bedreigd werd door innerlijke twisten
We overwon het

Dankzij een snel denken en vindingrijk de overheid
En loyale, Caring burgers
We hebben helpen uitbouwen tot een groeiende sociale gemeenschap

Maar het vuur van de oorlog zijn inmiddels weer aangestoken
En een nieuw conflict dreigt te overspoelen de wereld in nog een oorlog van enorme proporties
eBelgian vrede en neutraliteit in het geding zou kunnen worden

Word een legendarische burger of soldaat
Of de geliefde leider van een hele natie

Word lid van eBelgië
Wij hebben u nodig
Voor een betere toekomst

French Translation:

Quand le monde a été divisé
Nous étions seuls

Alors que les flammes de la guerre ont ravagé l'Europe
Nous nous sommes assurés que nous ne fut pas brûlé avec elle

Quand on a été menacée par des querelles internes
Nous l'avons surmonté

Merci à une réflexion rapide et de ressources du gouvernement
Et loyaux, dévoués citoyens
Nous avons aidé à construire une communauté croissante de la société

Toutefois, les flammes de la guerre ont été re-allumés
Et un nouveau conflit menace d'engloutir le monde dans une nouvelle guerre des proportions énormes
La paix et la neutralité eBelgian peuvent être en jeu.

Devenir un citoyen ou un soldat légendaire
Ou le chef bien-aimé de toute une nation

Joignez-vous à eBelgium
Nous avons besoin de
Pour un avenir meilleur

Huh? What newspaper?

And there are still some grammar mistakes in the English version. I'm not a very good English speaker but I think that for example "We made sure we wasn't burned down with it" should be "We made sure we weren't burned down with it", no?

I will have a look at the other translations, french and dutch.

by **Olv007** 2010-04-29, 11:21

Here you have the dutch translation. Will do the french this afternoon.

There's a newspaper article in the video , and i'll have to re-upload it then i guess with the corrections , was hoping i could get away with it , lol

Edit: I should stop usuing google translator.

by **Reaussou** 2010-04-29, 11:50

Also,

Use Verdi's Dies Irae:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDFFHaz9GsY

Some funny history about it:
When it was written, nobody wanted to play it since it was too hard, required too much people and no hall was big enough... Smile

by **Mike Wooldridge** 2010-04-29, 12:00

Edited the video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PperfN7itWk

And that song makes me think of a full on invasion lol , might use it in the future.
I'm tryin to make this come across suttle , but with a message.

Mike, I think this is better no?

"When we was threatened by inner strife" => "When we were threatened by inner strife"

"We have helped to build a growing social community"

"However the flames... " => you need to put a comma after "However"

And you should re-read the description under the video. "idependent" should be "independent"

"eBelgium Has a stance on staying neutral during the chaotic wars around the world. "

by **Mike Wooldridge** 2010-04-29, 13:06

Well its only the first video anyway , hopefully other people will pick up the idea of advertising eBelgium on youtube , i know there must be eBelgian citizens on this forum who could make a truly epic video.

Mike I liked the video even though there was mistakes. I am sure that if I did not play eRep I would have gotten the message and wanted to join.

by **Mike Wooldridge** 2010-04-29, 13:52

Why thankyou Mudduck Smile

And thankyou for the french translation Olv007

by **Xgentis Lempereur** 2010-05-03, 22:10

I think you should change the music.

by **Mike Wooldridge** 2010-05-05, 11:25

As i said on the youtube comments , it is more of a reflection of eBelgium's past , and the triumph over it , i thought soft music would compliment it.
In the future if i ever make more video's advertising eBelgium , i will use different music , such as what Reaussou suggested.
Do you wish to suggest a song Xgentis?

by **Xgentis Lempereur** 2010-05-05, 12:32

Why not belgium national anthem?
Or some classical music.

by **Mike Wooldridge** 2010-05-05, 12:39

Well the Belgium national anthem was my first , however it is cheerful.
And that was classical music :/ lol

by **Manong Z** 2010-05-05, 13:00

I made a promotional video for ePhilippines:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0k5NEAkm0mU

by **Mike Wooldridge** 2010-05-05, 14:49

Thats actually really good , if you make one for eBelgium i can't wait to see it Smile

by **Mike Wooldridge** 2010-05-05, 19:35
