Proposal description
This is a one month project that will require 403 Dash.
DESCRIPTION + GOAL STATEMENT
Our goal is to show the world how efficient and fun Dash is to use.
Our vibrant commercial will promote Dash to an international audience with unlimited distribution opportunities.
WHO WE ARE
We are Synthesis Creative, a full service production company hailing from Los Angeles, California. Our website is www.synthesiscreative.com.
We can offer such a high quality product because of our efficient and streamlined team. Together, we have decades of experience in the entertainment industry.
THE COMMERCIALS
These professional commercials will show Dash being used by a diverse range of people from all cultures and age groups. It will be provided in a format that can be distributed internationally across any and all advertising mediums.
You will receive:
This concept is ideal for an international audience, and will show how simple Dash is to use as actual Digital Cash. These assets will also function as high-end videos at Dash-sponsored conferences and events around the world.
OUR COLLABORATION
We will produce the above video content and present it to the network for peer review and delivery. The sky’s the limit when it comes to distribution of this commercial. The audience reached is only as narrow as this network’s ideas/dreams.
This commercial has distribution potential in many different forms including:
THE PROCESS
Once approved, we will work quickly to shoot and turn this around in 60 days to make sure the community can utilize the videos as soon as possible.
Our team will cover all facets of production from ideation to asset delivery. We have developed a clean idea showing various people using DASH in day-to-day situations. In our execution, we will be producing with top notch talent agencies, the best camera + lighting gear, and an efficient post production team to polish it off.
The result will be a series of stunning 4K images that really stand out in the cryptocurrency space.
The final versions of the three videos AND the DASH animated logo will be made available for download in 4K to members of this community. We would love to see these ads later in the year with future distribution proposals (ie: airplanes, billboards, festivals, etc) Additionally, we would plan to publish these four assets on YouTube and Vimeo channels created under a DASH Productions account.
We look forward to creating outstanding content to help grow this currency that we believe in so deeply.
FINAL PRODUCT EXAMPLES
To give you a sense of a high-end production, the link below is an Apple commercial that captures the quality and style we are striving for.
The New iPad Pro
What we like about this video is the use of screens and the ability to clearly see what the user is doing. We intend to do the same with the DASH Wallet from the iOS app store. We’ll be showing users scanning each other’s QR codes to pay for goods and services, clearly showing how easy it is to send money anywhere, instantly.
Mobility Anthem | Toyota
As DASH continues to evolve we want to create these assets to develop upcoming promotion for the release of Evolution! Based on our fluid production outline, our on screen action can represent DASH as much at present, well into the future. Our assets can help maintain the knowledge and acquisition of DASH, as well as build hype for it’s future growth.

Discussion: Should we fund this proposal?
Submit comment
Great work. I love the visual stye of your demo-reel.
As some have already stated I would also see such a clip in relation to the release of evolution to beat the drum as loud as possible. This month the budget will be rather tight, though. Please do not give up with the DAO in case this one is not passing this cycle.
these are professional world class videos.
I am for promotion with positive attitude like this.
if it does not happen now, I think there is an opportunity to come to the realization of evolution.
Good luck
We couldn’t appreciate your support more. We are confident that we will find a time soon when the network feels they need the caliber of content we can provide. We will reach out for your vote again when the time comes!
Thank you
I don't see any suggestions to support this? Where would we use this video if not Google, Facebook and Twitter?
We will deliver our video and assets so that they may be used via ALL distribution methods upon completion. What we upload for network wide access will be able to be used on Facebook (without paid spend behind it) and/or Ad Space (up until June).
The benefit of our production vs any other proposed option, we will be able to distribute our material via Television, Billboards, Busses, Airplanes, etc.
It is much easier for productions to limit their distribution to ONLY the internet. For productions with celebrity involved, the cost for creating the commercial would skyrocket for distribution in perpetuity across all platforms. An actor's contract would run out over an extended amount of time, and a video's ability to be distributed would essentially expire (unless another contract were to renew such assets).
Our production has unlimited potential, without restriction of any type of distribution.
For this proposal, we want to start here and give the network the tools to be ultimately successful over an unlimited amount of time. Once we succeed beyond measure on this proposal, we want to lead the discussion on what type of video advertising will continue to elevate DASH.
We have defintely submitted on the pre-proposal forum and have recieved some great feedback and discussions. The link can be found below! Please let us know your thoughts.
https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/pre-proposal-video-development-for-commercial-promotion-of-dash.29672/
As far as marketing contractors, we have reached out to @fernando multiple times but he appears to not have been active in awhile. We have also reached out to the owner of O&M but no response quite yet. We are continuing to make efforts but with the direction of our proposal, we feel this concept would be universal among the advertising of DASH. Any interfaces on devices that we film will be easy to update with new software looks through visual effects. Our main approach is showing real people using this peer to peer currency seamlessly in everyday life. Something that hasn’t truly been done in the network thus far.
