"Over 500 x 360˚ content creators worldwide signed to our network and our collection contains over 8,000 high quality 360˚ videos"
There are currently over 500 x 360˚ video creators worldwide signed to our network and over 8,000 high quality 360˚ videos have been uploaded to blend.media. Our collection contains a wide range of 360˚ video content including cities, beaches, animals, events, underwater scenes and everything in between.
The benefits for creators who join our network are:
We have a global sales team which actively seeks to license out our creators' 360˚ video content to reputable brands. When a license is sold the revenue share is split 70/30 in favour of our creators.
We also promote our creators' 360˚ video content on our blog and Facebook page - the largest 360˚ video page with an audience of over 765,000. We will also be doing so on our soon-to-be-launching YouTube channel.
See below for one of the 360˚ videos used in the Chic-Fil-A 'Cowz VR' campaign.
As a member of the Blend Media 360˚ video creator network you also have access to our new camera loaner programme that provides creators with access to professional level cameras for use on professional or commercial projects.
There is a simple application process where we'll ask you for some information about your proposed project, all applications are then reviewed and if approved we'll deliver the camera to your requested location. More terms and conditions apply, including length of camera loan, however we will communicate these in more detail during the application process.
All members of Blend Media's creator network receive invitations to free and exclusive meetups and workshops, co-hosted with our Facebook 360 partner. So far we have hosted meetups and workshops in Vienna, London, Liverpool, Amsterdam, Sydney, Melbourne and New York. Our next meetup will be in London in February and Austin during SXSW, we'll be sending more information early next year.
Meetups
The meetups are an opportunity for like-minded 360˚ video creators to collaborate and exchange ideas and information. These events are also great opportunities for creators to learn about the Blend Media and Facebook partnership and opportunities to work directly with the Facebook 360 team.
Workshops
With our Facebook 360 partners we host 360˚ production workshops and in 2018 we will be delivering a series of new workshops in a number of cities globally.
Workshop content includes:
Every month we send a newsletter to our creators that includes 360˚ video content creation tips, news about upcoming events, what 360˚ content we require, and exclusive discounts and offers among other interesting news.
We have so far offered discounts to 360 VR Film Festivals, 360˚ video post-production packages and equipment rental companies.
