Marjos Private and Public Video Streaming Schools
Because Marjos needed to produce many videos simultaneously, Marjos recruited engineers already experienced in using the Unreal game engine. Joséphine wrote the initial course for the training of these engineers, and she gave the first class to 6 new students.
Instruction was given in Marjo's office in Burnaby for 5 days. On the first day, the complete video production process was described and demonstrated. Then each group of 2 engineers was given short scripts and had to produce one 3 to 5-minute video each of the 4 remaining days. In the afternoon, they had to show the results of their work and were given feedback. Of course, they had access to Marjos' growing library of virtual actors and virtual environments.
The newly trained engineers were then assisting experienced producing engineers for at least one month. Then, those that were deemed good producers were given their own video series to create. The others were let go before the end of their trial period.
Because Joséphine had advertised Marjos' process of video producing to other small video game studios, she was asked to train engineers from these studios. Similar training classes were created for external students. The main difference was that the AI-assisted process of going from the script to the initial Unreal video was not used in public courses.
Netflix and Amazon Knock on the Door
In September 2026, the number of paying subscribers reached 8,000. This is when Netflix and Amazon tried to buy Marjos Entertainment Inc. Not that they thought that Marjos was their competition, but they saw that Marjos' way of producing videos was very economical.
Created with Ideogram
Of course, Joséphine refused to sell her company. Then they asked to be able to stream some of Marjos' video series. This time, Joséphine told them that she would think about it, but only after at least 18 months of streaming on 3Speak.
Finally, they asked Marjos to produce video series for them. They would supply the script, and Marjos would produce the episodes, with limited feedback. This time, Joséphine accepted on the condition that Marjos could stream the series on 3Speak immediately after it was streamed on Netflix or Amazon Prime. And of course, Marjos Entertainment Inc. was the producing company and Joséphine was an executive producer. This was a good way for Marjos to have new series streamed on 3Speak that were more than paid for.
