The Golden Horde — Partnering With Cam’s Yellow Jacket
The Golden Horde is proud to announce today that we will be working with fellow delegates, Cam’s Yellow Jacket (CYJ) to provide a three piece exclusive design line titled “Ark The Movie” to support their Video Funds.
Who Are Cam’s Yellow Jacket?
If you’re not familiar with Cam’s Yellow Jacket, they are a new delegate comprised of two veteran Ark community members, Cam & Yellow Jacket who we’ve interviewed in the past in our Ark Community Digest series. They’re currently looking to get into the top 51 in order to help secure the network and focus on creating quality video content for Ark. In the past week they have proposed an idea for their first video based around the DPOS consensus mechanism and created a funding campaign in order to get the video created. Amazingly, the video was funded in less than a week and they’ll be starting the creationary process soon. If you’re not familiar with their work, they produced the “Ark Spiderweb” video for the Ark team which explains the idea behind the Ark blockchain. On top of this they’ll also be setting up a relay fund to incentivise this process for the community to partake in.
Why We’re Partnering With CYJ
At The Golden Horde we’re always looking for ways to improve the Ark Ecosystem, particularly in areas that increase the user friendliness and accessibility of Ark to the average crypto user. To us it makes sense to help those who will be able to establish more resources available to the community and anyone onlooking in Ark’s direction. We believe that CYJ will be delivering quality video resources which is a crucial part of building a network of information. Video is easily the most binged and valuable resource to have available and over the years has become the primary method for researching and learning. The visual narrative available in the video format is second to none and when looking at the statistics it is clear that if we as a community wish to continue growing, we need more video content. Some quick statistics for you:
- 82% of Twitter users watch Video Content on Twitter.
- 45% of People watch more than an hour of Youtube / Facebook videos a week.
- One-Third of Online Activity is Spent Watching Videos.
Safe to say video content has been and is still the hot thing right now!
Our Design Line — Ark The Movie
The design line is created by our good friend and artist who helped us with the Arkvatar art line (as you can tell a man of many styles!). There will be three pieces all based around the idea of a movie studio shooting a film called “Ark the Movie”. The designs will have our resident Noah himself — Mike Doty as the lead character!
Each design will have a different theme but will all be located in a studio, therefore mixing the real setting & props together to create a fun and interesting design line. Let’s check out the ideas:
“From The Depths Of Doom”
The initial piece we created is based around the “Ark” from the Noah’s Ark idea that is being attacked by an Octopus prop, featuring Mike at the helm of the boat. We wanted to combine the idea of moving waves on tracks, a fake octopus and various machines that you’d expect in this type of studio, like wind machines and lighting!
“The Chase”
Motorbike Chases, Shotguns & a Parisian backdrop to top it off, nothing screams, “I’ll be back” quite like this set up. We’re currently in development on this one but can’t wait to provide more details and looks at the art.
“The Drums Of War”
Viking battles, war drums and ferocious war cries. We’re going to transport you to a time with ruthless savagery and make you feel like you’re in the heart of a battle. Currently in creation so will update further on this soon.
The Next Steps
Cam’s Yellow Jacket are already starting to make their first video and have launched their delegate campaign to attempt to get into the top 51 delegates as that’ll be their main requirement in order to create videos going forward. Our designs will be given to anyone who donates more than 500 Ark to their video funds, to reward those who help make these great videos a reality. If you’re not able to meet that criteria then fear not, there is a fun raffle that they are launching where anyone has the chance to win! Check that out in their article here.
Summary
That wraps up this quick update on our partnership with CYJ! As always let us know what you think and make sure to check out our Twitter to keep up to date with future announcements:
