This proposal aims to expand Kusama’s growing community with a series of high-end educational videos that clarify and deepen the understanding of the technology behind KSM and the philosophy that inspires it.

> Your proposal seems well thought out. Too many videos on Kusama are by people who don't understand the technology enough to grasp what makes it special, and your proposal already shows that you do. And the art direction looks good.
