-
Since the dawn of humanity we have used tools to communicate.
-
Over time these tools have become more complex, like in 2700 B.C. when the Egyptians started using pictures to represent sounds.
-
This later came to be known as the alphabet.
-
Every time a new discovery is made, it changes the way that we live.
-
But there's always some people who struggle to adapt, like when radios...
-
"Look here is the new Band-Aid plastic strip with new super..."
-
...were replaced with televisions.
-
"Look here is the new Band-Aid plastic strip with new super stick."
-
At first, we didn't realize TV's potential.
-
But one day it dawned on us.
-
TV is a new kind of communication, one driven by images.
-
And the use of images changed everything.
-
Then along came this thing called the Internet.
-
At first, it was just email and banner ads, but then it evolved into something much bigger.
-
Just think about it.
-
We used to come home to watch TV, but now we watch TV on the internet.
-
And not just that, we search on the internet.
-
We read blogs on the internet.
-
We upload pictures to the internet.
-
We update our status on the internet.
-
We share our lives and our experiences on the internet with the world.
-
We're not on the internet as passive observers.
-
We're on the internet to have a shared experience.
-
So why do we keep using outdated tools designed for TV to reach an interactive audience on the internet?
-
If history has taught us anything, it's new technology demands a new way to communicate.
-
What could this look like?
-
Well let's say you have a brilliant idea.
-
And instead of creating an image based video designed for TV, you create a video designed for this new technology.
-
A video that creates a shared experience.
-
A video that educates and enlightens.
-
And this part is key.
-
You see, you can put your video online and a few people will find it.
-
But let's say your video helps someone discover something important.
-
Let's say your video helps someone see something differently.
-
Why is this significant? Well, let's take a look.
-
When something like a video helps us think differently, we change.
-
Sometimes in small ways like deciding to use a new web application.
-
Sometimes in big ways like discovering a new cause that gives us purpose in our lives.
-
But every time this switch happens, we feel compelled to pass this experience on to others.
-
And the internet is designed to share experiences.
-
And as it gets shared, it helps other people create epiphanies who in turn share it,
-
who in turn have epiphanies.
-
We've learned that this new way to communicate taps into these shared epiphanies.
-
There is an emerging style of video made to be viral that helps you discover new things.
-
That creates an experience and a paradigm shift together.
-
In a word, it creates an epiphany.
-
People seek out, remember, share new epiphanies.
-
So why not create a video that has an epiphany that can be shared, or what we call an epipheo.
-
So you can keep trying to use yesterday's methods or you can use a tool built for the internet.
-
A tool designed to be discovered and shared.
-
What's the untold epiphany that inspires your project?
-
Because epipheos, just like the one you're watching right now,
-
brings your message to life each time it unlocks a new mind.
