An excerpt of Elements of a Winning Proposal, a presentation given by Erik Neandross of GNA about how to make strong and successful grant proposals. Presented at Waste to Wheels, an event focused on renewable natural gas, on Dec. 1, 2010 in Columbus, Ohio.
Video Rating: 0 / 5

 

Vote: www.youtube.com This is my proposal for the YouTube Next Up Grant. These videos were shot many months ago and reflect that I was still a bit new to the concept of live filming. I’ve got better – but there is always room for improvement. :)

    Yup, you got cool videos. Claire said you did and I trust her – even with a beer in her hand.

    @SAHBfan Follow the link in the undre bar to get to the voting page. Once there just click the “yes” thumbs up. Or go to the “Next up” contest on the creators channel & search for “TheTruePooka”.

    And thank you. :)

    @BillKiernan i know a person, and i use know in the sense i have met the person and talked to her rather then i am friends or even willing to say we are the same Species who thinks the earth is 6000 years old, that the bible is true to the point humans was made TWICE by god that dinos are fake and she went mad when her kid got a dino toy in a happy meal…and i am not kidding when i tried to find out what is wrong with kids dino toys she damned near hit me and i was 5 years old

    @TheTruePooka

    Thunderf00t wants everyone from around the world to record a single rotation of the earth by having everyone record the sun set/rise.

    watch his most recent video

    (not hating on you or anything)

    @bjam89 i don’t usually do POEis things but that was so over the top i figured no one would buy it. and yeah, i know what you mean, it’s depressing that there are enough people out there that would actually say what i said.

  8. bjam89 on June 26th, 2011 8:38 pm

    @BillKiernan so you are a poe, well i have a hard time figuring out if it is a joke or not, i have seen morons like that so my brain is on auto better to call them on the bs then think it is a joke, i have found people sure we are herbivores, i have found people who thinks the 2nd world war did not happen (yeah i am not kidding) people who thinks lots of BS yours was in the realm of that bs so good job

  9. TheJamesPope on June 26th, 2011 9:37 pm

    that’s a great idea, the best of luck
    liked

  10. BillKiernan on June 26th, 2011 9:58 pm

    @bjam89 wow, POE was right.

  11. bjam89 on June 26th, 2011 10:00 pm

    @BillKiernan if you think so then the devil is far better at making a logical world then your god is

  12. exacerbatedtaboo on June 26th, 2011 10:50 pm

    Just a heads up. You may want to ask the museum if it’s o.k. to put their museum on youtube. The only reason I say this is because I know some people who have actually got DMCA’d by places for putting their “property” online without consent. I’m not saying that’s going to happen but just lookin out for ya. ;)

  13. BillKiernan on June 26th, 2011 11:46 pm

    @TheTruePooka dinosaurs never existed, those “bones” are planted there by the devil. how dare you spread these lies to the little precious children!

  14. OgreVI on June 27th, 2011 12:01 am

    @TheTruePooka Is it? Based on voting? I was just talking out of my ass; I have no idea.
    I still don’t really know how YouTube works. I haven’t advanced conceptually much past the stage of making videos for, and watching videos from, the little people living inside my monitor :)

    Best of luck to you!

    @TheTruePooka There is one minor problem that could happen with animals and YouTube, the problem stems from a YouTube partner “TheJapanChannelDcom”/”TheSillyOldDude” getting a strike against his channels which are very large because they showed a naked chimp for a couple of seconds… so any animal… parts on display could get you flagged… yes… stupid I know but it did happen. Also I like the ideas of museums and zoos :)

  18. TheTruePooka on June 27th, 2011 1:44 am

    @AlainG80 Nope – not comedy. A very serious channel. Sad it isn’t doing better. This is exactly why I want to do this project. Also videos average about an hour on that channel. Totally different project concept.

    But thanks for making me aware of an awesome channel. :)

  19. AlainG80 on June 27th, 2011 2:38 am

    Already done, I think:
    youtube.com/show/greatmuseums

  20. zarkoff45 on June 27th, 2011 2:49 am

    That’s a good idea. You might want to approach the museums themselves for money.

  21. LinkMEP on June 27th, 2011 2:57 am

    Outro doesn’t work here, you made a video that actully shouldn’t offend anybody!

  22. TheTruePooka on June 27th, 2011 3:14 am

    @jacktoe1 (shrug) nice idea. However, they’re giving the “prize” to 25 people/ winners. So… :)

  23. jacktoe1 on June 27th, 2011 3:27 am

    @TheTruePooka
    Thunderf00t didn’t put NextUp in the title or anything. It’s called “To Unify by Perception”

  24. ctso74 on June 27th, 2011 4:01 am

    That would be awesome, both the museums and the childhood stories part. I’d definitely watch. Of course, you doing a makeup tutorial would be far more captivating. Captivating like a Jonestown documentary. *shudder*
    Good luck! You deserve it!

    You are like Howard Stern. You should always wear sun glasses even indoors. LOL
