Lower-confidence wave

2011 videos did not pass the QA gate (17 %); their analysis is shown but less reliable.

On the day before the Project for Awesome 2011, Hank explains its logistics: upload time, donating to the P4A Fund, charity voting at projectforawesome.com, how to submit videos, the live show, auctions and the mailing list.

What is said

00:00:00 — Day before P4A: logistics video, confetti cannon; viewer questions: start time, donating, where fund money goes, voting, site launch

  • ★ Hank says today's video is just logistics to prepare viewers, because tomorrow's video will be his Project for Awesome video. — 00:00:00 · Project for Awesome
  • ★★★ The official time to upload P4A videos is noon Eastern time tomorrow, Saturday, December 17th. — 00:00:00 · Project for Awesome
  • ★★★ Hank encourages everyone to donate at projectforawesome.com, live from noon, or before then at fightworldsuck.org; all the money goes into the P4A Fund. — 00:00:00 · Project for Awesome, Foundation to Decrease World Suck
  • ★ Hank got a confetti cannon; he fires it at the start and, despite the warning never to point one at your face, fires one at his face at the end. (playful) — 00:00:00
  • ★★★ No funny business: the P4A Fund money is distributed to the charities that get the most votes at projectforawesome.com. — 00:00:47 · Project for Awesome
  • ★★ ProjectForAwesome.com launches at noon for submitting videos; each video's charity goes into a database and people vote on whether they deem it worthy and like the video. — 00:00:47 · Project for Awesome

00:01:16 — Voting guide (search a charity, click vote); what to do with your P4A video: tags, partner thumbnail, upload at noon, submit

  • ★★ A guide shows how to vote for a charity seen in a video: search for it on the site (e.g. the Foundation to Decrease World Suck) and click vote. — 00:01:16 · Project for Awesome, Foundation to Decrease World Suck
  • ★★★ Video makers should tag 'P4A' and 'P4A 2011', use the P4A thumbnail if they are partners, upload at noon, and submit the video at projectforawesome.com so its charity can get P4A Fund money. — 00:01:16 · Project for Awesome

00:01:45 — Other ways to take part: donate, live show at youtube.com/vlogbrothers, eBay auctions (wall posters, Chameleon Circuit flip chart, signed VidCon poster), mailing list; live stream plans

  • ★★ Other ways to take part: donate to the P4A Fund or a charity you care about, and follow the live show at youtube.com/vlogbrothers, hosted by Hank, John and surprise guests. — 00:01:45 · Project for Awesome, Vlogbrothers, John Green
  • ★★ Viewers can check out items soon to be auctioned on eBay via projectforawesome.com, including the posters from Hank's wall over the last six months, sold individually. — 00:01:45
  • ★★ Hank commits to personalizing each poster and sending it to the person who gets it. — 00:01:45 > «I will personalize each one and send them off to the people who get them.»
  • ★ Hank is not sure, but thinks the posters will be sold at a straight flat price. (hedged) — 00:01:45
  • ★★ Auction items also include the flip chart Chameleon Circuit used making Still Got Legs, 'a piece of history', and the VidCon poster signed by about 50 YouTubers. — 00:02:35 · VidCon
  • ★★ Viewers can sign up for the P4A mailing list, which sends only P4A emails, about once a year. — 00:02:35 · Project for Awesome
  • ★★ Hank will start off the P4A live stream at noon tomorrow and John will join shortly after. — 00:02:35 · Project for Awesome, John Green

00:03:04 — Thanks to P4A video makers, designer Karen Kavett and developer Sam Rudge; confetti cannon to the face; sign-off
