20190624 | THE SEARCH FOR MVP DEVELOPERS - SOMISH
I met with Mayank Taneja, VP Solution Delivery for Somish Blockchain Labs, a technology and product development company with hands-on experience in building private, permissioned and public Blockchain MVPs.
It was the first approach seeking cooperation for the development of Filmgrids MVP. As it was to be expected, we presented our companies to each other as well as the immediate goals that we have. I find so far in Somish the development solution we are looking for, they have a strong background and understand the needs of their customers. I found particularly interesting that Mayank was very keen in learning how deep we (Filmgrid) have done our homework, particularly in how extend was our marketing research; later I learned they look to work only with feasible projects... good thing we did indeed a good research.
Originally, we had planned to build a development team from scratch in Mexico, however, after interviewing a few candidates, we realize that blockchain development is still now very common among developers; there were really good contendents, good programmers, but unfortunately none with solid blockchain knowledge nor experience.
After our meeting, I feel confident Somish are the best company capable to deliver the MVP we are looking for. Time will determinate if in the future we retake the original plan for the development of the platform and own blockchain, or if we continue with third party services.
THE BILLBOARD
This is the movie marketplace, it will be the area where Creative Users can put their films, series or documentaries for sale and rent, and Viewer Users can buy/rent and enjoy them.
An smart filter system will allow users to browse and order content easily, with an intuitive and easy-to-use design; each film will have its own designated space within the platform. Participants may use an image or gif to identify the project with the general project information: title, synopsis, price, duration, gender and corresponding Creative Team.
The films will be commercialized under three different schemes:
▶ Premiere. Exclusive initial sale with additional material.
▶ Screening. Subsequent sale to the Premiere.
▶ Home Cinema. Rental for a period of 48 hours.
In the Premiere and Screening modes, the user who buys the movie acquires the reproduction keys, so he can stream it in any compatible device, as many times as wanted.
The reproduction keys could be transferred from one user to another if there is connection within the platform. This can be in case of gift, inheritance, exchange for another movie or sale. Once these keys have been transferred, the original owner can no longer use them.
