[Goatfish 🐐 @goatfishxyz]

it’s been a long year and sometimes all you need is someone you can hang out with before holidays

we wanted to capture that

10 done, 3 more videos to go

[Goatfish 🐐 @goatfishxyz]

11 videos done - 2 more to go 👀

let’s see if we can pull this off

[Goatfish 🐐 @goatfishxyz]

our final video for Breakpoint is out

this one is literally a movie (watch it with earphones on)

[Goatfish 🐐 @goatfishxyz]

after what we cooked on day 1 for Seeker, that night the team sat till late night and cooked some ideas up

so happy to see how good this video came out

Seek and you shall find 🫡

[Prado @pradologue]

[Shina @shizudio]

Just want to give a shoutout to the best cinema crew.
@goatfishxyz

[Solana Events @SolanaEvents]

Some of the legends who helped Breakpoint feel like a movie. 🎥🎥🎥

[Goatfish 🐐 @goatfishxyz]

after Breakpoint got over, we did some homework ✍️

we looked back at all the 15 videos we made for @SolanaConf and crunched some numbers in

our videos did over 1.2M impressions in 5 days (averaging 80k per video)

wrote an internal memo of 5 learnings but we said f*ck it let's share it with all other goats out there:

1/ Create Anticipation with pre-event videos 👀

people waited 15 months for next BP - they want to see the BTS, venue getting built, and what's coming next

we pushed 6 videos before BP:

> 2 days to go
> 24 hours to go, 12 hours to go
> creative hype video,
> collect your badges & doors open

(all links are below or scroll down to watch a few videos)

-----------------------

2/ Do a vibe check 📸

roam around and find the stories you want to tell. for us it was:
> Speed of Light
> Relentless execution
> It's the people

show different kind of vibes

-----------------------

3/ Make them feel ⚡️

1000s of people couldn't make it in person - they were watching the talks live

Short burst of videos can put them right into a place and make them not miss it next year

-----------------------

4/ Capture emotions ☀️

people smiling, people working, hugging - it's a festival, not a conference.

we never consider this as a conference, always a place full of emotions

> Thank you video
> It's the people video

-----------------------

5/ Showcase your story 🐐

when Bong Joon Ho (director of Parasite) won an award, he went on stage and shared a quote

"The most personal is the most creative" - Martin Scorsese

we never forced our goats to be creative. we let them find whatever is personal to them and let them showcase a story out of it

find whatever is personal to you and tell your story out of it

-----------------------

Bonus: don't overthink just send it 🫡

i'm going to share a notion link w/ all the videos we made but you can also watch the top 5 videos in the thread below

or on the @goatfishxyz highlights page

and remember - Speed is the moat 🫡

[Basim Althaf @basimalthaf]

@Henry_DeFi @goatfishxyz Ahh mann😂😂 my badd didnt have time to sleep only lmaoo

[Goatfish 🐐 @goatfishxyz]

we just wrapped up our final video for breakpoint and it’s the video number 15

we were supposed to only make 13 but two last minute requests came in (we had prepared ourselves for this scenario and it paid off)

underpromise, overdeliver 🫡

[Solana @solana]

It’s the people
