Hello Everyone,
I hope your well I'm thrilled to join Steemit and become part of this amazing new Free! community of like minded creative people.
Like your self I have watched in dismay as the potential of the video on demand market place has been dominated by large platform companies that have rapidly squeezed out the available independent films from the market place. With ridiculous video codex and huge file sizes that ultimately only have to be of a high enough quality to watch either on a PC or on a hand held device. And then the low revenue returns and sales numbers after spending so much time, money and effort just to get your films onto those platforms.
For the last year my self and a small team of brilliant people have been working away in the back ground to redevelop and relaunch the successful Renderyard film platform. I'm really thrilled to announce that a few days ago we went live with the new film sales platform that allows any filmmaker in the world to easily upload a video to our platform and choose from four revenue streams to monitise their content. These include Rent, Buy, Subscribe and Free which includes video advertising. We have included an important geo blocking facility that is controlled by our admin system. And allows any uploaded film to be selected to be seen in either one are a multitude of available geo locations and blocked from all others around the world.
As part of Renderyard' s ethos which is 'Supporting Filmmakers' of which our web site has over 6000+ accounts and users and over 10,000+ social media connections that include Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin and You Tube we offer a Free alternative to the silly yearly fees that certain platform's are charging their users with no guarantee of sales. Instead we split the sales / rental / subscription price of all movies 70/30 with the content owner. We have partnered with Pay Pal to receive both Pay Pal and credit card transactions and this will soon include Bitcoin currency purchases.
The platform has a transparent real time payment system so when a sale occurs the payment is automatically split between Renderyard and the filmmaker after Pay Pal take a small processing fee. The divided payment is then sent immediately to both accounts so the filmmaker gets there sales share immediately and also receive a notification email of the sale. So no more invoices and no more chasing payments, and no more waiting three months to see if you have made any money.
Finally all users can login to there account and go to their My Videos page and see all there uploaded videos which each contain a visible sale number of how much each film has earned and this is automatically updated each time a video rental or sale occurs.
To use the platform simply login using your existing account details and password. Or if your your a new user you can create an account in minutes and you can also attach your Google, Twitter and Facebook to login to your account.
We invite you all to take a look at the web site www.renderyard.com
I'm very interested to hear your feedback and any ideas you may have to its improvement. This is phase one of the web site and we hope to do regular platform updates every 6 months to make it the best experience we can for both filmmakers and distributors.
Thank you,
Mark Reid - Renderyard Founder & CEO
