How I get my son to do his homework - How will you use this?

by greenovni
22 replies

I use this as my own personal propaganda machine for my son. He always wonders how the robots know so much and actually runs home from school to see if the robots have left him another "secret message".

How many viral or cool marketing videos will you create with this?

Edit: This is how I am using it for CPA http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post1191770

    Did you create this yourself with a 3-D program? Or did you have someone else make this?

    Very good concept.

    I think this is great for kids. I'm not really too sure how well videos like these would perform with adults.

    This is fantastic! I love your little video to inspire your son. The story running through it with his "reason why" is really, really cool!


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

    I took a look at the site. They have a commercial license so you can make these kinds of videos for your business, too.

    Tom Kulhmann wrote a post about this kind of thing a while back:

    Create E-Learning Scenarios By Bringing the Virtual World into the Real World The Rapid eLearning Blog


    P.S. If you're an educator or you do interactive training, then his blog is an absolute goldmine! Just amazing stuff.

    Thanks for the post greenovni. Hope Gabriel can help those poor bots out with the air-con. (And don't forget to send your tireless minions that oil, huh? )

    All the best,

      Go on YouTube - xtranormal Some of those videos have 20 & 30K views. I think using the right set and the right "actor" can perfom.

      I guess I can try that later...

      The story line was slapped together in about 2 nimutes but it keeps in line with how important is is to learn how to read and most important, how to think for himself and not be a sheep

      "on planet cyrcom and we need you to help us build an air conditioner like the one you built with papa"

      we actually built a very simple working air conditioner last year together

      Gabriel is a very bright kid with great grades in school, all he needs is a little push and this is working wonders.

      I wonder if I can push customers with these videos also?

    And when your son ends up having psychological issues, because kids at school start thinking he's a weirdo, because he has a friend who's a robot, and he ends up having dreams of being abducted by aliens at night, because you used this "propaganda machine" on him, will you then feel some remorse for the brainwashing of your child? :rolleyes:

      Yes, and he will also probably be scared a fat man with a beard will creep into his room at christmas.

      Are you serious Daj?. I think its a great idea, I am going to make up movies for my nephews and nieces, they will absolutely love it!

      Wow, Lets start by you do not know me nor what my son and I do. I'm going to answer your questions as nicely as I can.

      when your son ends up having psychological issues

      Because of a cartoon his father made for him? Please. Have you seen what the sheep whatch on TV and the movies lately?

      because kids at school start thinking he's a weirdo

      Like we give a flying f*ck. My child has been thought since he was little that people in general are nasty *******s. That those that make fun of you or other kids are not your friends and that if you have an independent mind people will think you're a weirdo anyway.

      Sounds like you care more of what people think of you than what you think of yourself my friend. Deal with your own issues.

      because he has a friend who's a robot, and he ends up having dreams of being abducted by aliens at night

      He has a friend who's his father. He knows that I do these things for him and he always calls me out on them BUT even as he knows that it is me, he plays along. Don't be mad at us because your father didn't show love to you.

      Dreams of being abducted?

      He would have a better chance of being abducted by our own government than by aliens. He also knows that.

      will you then feel some remorse for the brainwashing of your child?

      By the sounds of it, YOU have been brainwashed long time ago. Stop watching FAUX news, open your eyes, read a book or something.

    I might be able to use this to market something if I was not so busy making innapropriate conversations with fart noises.

    Man, my sides are hurting right now.

    Sorry if I came off a bit harsh. I was just
    trying to say that there's certain effects
    that using a tool like this can have on a child,
    as many are really impressionable.


    You said yourself that your using it as a
    personal propaganda machine for your son.
    That's what alarmed me the most. It made
    me instantly think of the mind control
    operation known as Disney World.

    As long as he knows that your the one
    making the videos, and telling the
    robot speaker the information
    then I guess it will be ok.

    Granted, it's not as bad as many disney movies
    I've seen who love to mind control kids and show
    them how to act, behave, and dress. But for some
    kids this can be detrimental in the long run,
    those who actually start thinking it's real.

      You know DAJ, I am sorry if I came across like an ashole. I've been through some things with some evil people and I changed a lot when it comes to my son, I am like a junk yard dog.

      The "propaganda" thing was just a word for a forum since we are all always trying to mold peoples buying habits with our marketing.

      My little one is 6 and had a really rude awakening at the end of 2007 and we both had to grow up really quick.

      He knows that I always do dumb stuff like this for him and he played the video a 100 times because he says that it is my voice. (he wanted to catch me)

      He plays along and he knows that everything I do - I do for him. As long as it puts a smile on his face, I am happy.

      About disney, agreed 100 %

    Greenovi, this is wonderful, what a great idea!

    I'm trying to figure out how to do a CPA offer with this. Anyone else here got the business angle?
