ViZion Protocol — Infusing Blockchain Technology Into The Film, Music, Art and Entertainment Industry
(written by Shane Brown) Crypto movies? Is it real? We find out!
Blockchain technology is disruptive. Revolutionary change has occurred in almost every sector in the last two years, and even the most traditional industries are now seeing disruption. The cryptocurrency boom of 2020 and the NFTs of 2022 are slowly taking us to new world order.
Insurance, banking, communication — you name the industry, and we find vibrant examples of disruption. Now, technology is coming for the Goliaths, and filmmaking is one such player. Today, blockchain technology is slowly changing the billion-dollar film industry in a brand new way.
The ViZion Token is leading the charge in taking the initiative forward and currently launching their Token + NFT Marketplace in July of 2022.
It is undeniable that movies are a vital form of expression and an integral aspect of popular culture. But the recent events that came around with the pandemic and the rise of OTT platforms have seen Hollywood take a reality check on where they need to be progressing. Cinema has seen drastic disruption in the past few months globally.
In such an environment, the introduction of the ViZion cryptocurrency token is leading the charge in making changes to adjust and rejuvenate the industry with blockchain technology. The technology is responsible for rebuilding the industry to fit into the future of entertainment.
In this process, a complete ViZion ecosystem is coming to light, providing Hollywood the power to harness the power of blockchain technology to take it to unprecedented new heights.
The ViZion Protocol project is already laying the foundation for launching a brand generation of film and entertainment with their upcoming release of the “Bitch Ass” The Movie NFT Launch in June 2022.
IDO LAUNCH: (July)
The newest addition to the blockchain is Hollywood, as ViZion Protocol aims to fix the issues within the industry and move forward. In reality, the entertainment industry is a wrecked place governed by sources beyond control. If you are a film creator or involved in the industry, you’ll know the woes you need to face daily. Lack of funding, piracy, value, lack of access and recognition, and the list goes on.
Amidst all this, the powerhouses in the industry overrule the small players, barring them from expression. While several initiatives have tried to fix the imminent problems, they seem to be re-emerging with time.
But the ViZion Protocol treads in a different direction. Funding plays a significant role in whether your creation gets off the storyline to reality, and most creators fail in this first juncture. By understanding the industry’s challenges, the project provides a platform for producers, directors, writers, photographers, and musicians to find the funding they need to create and distribute their amazing work.
Today, the ViZion Token is providing indie filmmakers with the opportunity to pursue their creations
The token will be the empowerer of the industry, providing art a new lease of life to continue. The ViZion project will launch the ViZion Token, allowing individuals across the globe to be a part of a valuable piece of entertainment and then later benefit from it.
ViZion aims to achieve a decentralized film financing platform (De-fi) and uses the ViZion token to fuel its platform. Built off Solana (SOL), one of the most prominent tokens after Bitcoin, Ethereum, the platform aims at increasing the funding to the filmmaking industry and eventually bringing back the profits.
How Does It Work?
To understand ViZion’s decentralized approach, let’s first look at the current structure. Today, if you have a film script or an idea, you write up a script (if any) and pitch it to prospective producers who would thereby opt in to fund your vision and make it a reality.
These producers are a finite number and based on the pitch, interests, and liking; they have the upper hand in deciding what goes through and what does not.
Once the project gets the seal of approval and gets published, the producers get a share of the profits. This has been the structure currently in place for the longest time, and personal agendas have taken the driving seat over actual work of art.
Now, in a decentralized form, with the ViZion Protocol, anyone around the globe can hold the ViZion Token and become a part of the movement. Filmmakers, artists, and producers will submit their projects on the ViZion platform. Then, the token holders can vote on each project and choose what goes to production.
Depending on their tier and engagement levels, users can review a series of content and decide what goes through. Based on your token holding, you also qualify for several access levels with the production.
The ViZion Protocol project has provided enhanced funding for filmmaking and the entertainment industry by linking the world of cryptocurrency. Anyone worldwide could now be a part of a film or a music production by simply owning the ViZion Token.
The token solves an integral problem that has been in existence for the longest time — connecting the interested individuals with the work of art. The ViZion platform eliminates geographical and economic barriers and provides every individual with an opportunity to be a part of something bigger than themselves.
Making A Film Enthusiast’s Dream A Reality
The bright side of the entire project is that it does not end at the financing level. The ViZion tokens bring the film enthusiast’s dream a reality by giving them first-hand access to filmmaking and production.
By holding the token, each individual will get selected levels of access. This access could range from behind-the-scenes to meeting entertainers, filmmakers, and musicians. Based on the membership tier, you could be receiving tickets to exclusive screenings and even make it to film sets.
With the introduction of NFTs, holders could also get exclusive access to limited edition NFT based collectibles of each production. The thought process is to isolate the industry and collective progress together.
Bound by Smart Contracts, DeFi and our NFT Marketplace
Another critical issue in the traditional funding space is credibility and trust. There are countless occasions when funding was misused, and the producers did not receive the benefits.
Blockchain technology eliminates these issues with smart contracts that ensure authenticity and credibility that works both ways. The project will be only considering authentic ideas from trusted creators, and anyone who would be investing in production could always keep track of where their investments are headed.
NFT Marketplace
ViZion will have a iconic NFT platform that will host digital collectibles, albums, songs, beats, artists, limited edition collections, sports memorabilia and more. With the founders (Shane Brown) experience and connections in the film and entertainment industry, he was able to partner up with exclusive creators within the industry to create a unique NFT marketplace. The project will be dropping its first NFT launch and marketplace in the coming months (JULY 2022)!
ViZion Payment
Crypto has become a preferred form of payment for many people involved in the community. The project provides a variety of functions for payment that spreads accross a diverse set of industries. The functions allow this coin to benefit its holders in more then just one way. The ViZion Token can be used for payment for VIP experiences (Travel, Hotel, Festival, etc), Live Events, Tickets, VR experiences, ViZion platform subscription, Streaming services, Restaurants, Nightlife, and more.
The Team Behind ViZion Protocol
Shane Brown (Founder) — After years of experience in the entertainment industry, the idea of taking ViZion Protocol to unprecedented growth and success comes from Shane Brown, the founder of the movement. Having worked with several successful production companies, world-renowned artists, and brands, Shane saw the need to bring disruptive innovation to the industry.
Shane’s work with Beyonce, Enrique Iglesias, Lil Wayne, Live Nation, SBE and creating his own VR Metaverse software in 2017, allowed him to get a deep understanding of the entertainment industry as a whole and pursue the dream of bringing in blockchain technology.
Along with Shane, the project has a team of skilled individuals who sees the same dream as him.
