TheBlogTV wants to send to its clients, contacts, and friends, a special video greeting for 2012, that lasts between 30 and 60 seconds. TheBlogTV is the first social media company in Europe, with presence in Italy, France, Spain and England, here you can check their website http://www.theblogtv.co.uk/

The client wants one talented videomaker from Userfarm to produce the video greeting. The production budget (reward) will be assigned to the videomaker that submits the best idea first. We don't set a time limit for idea submission, but as the deadline to submit the video is January 7th the selection will be made asap, not after the end of 2011. So, early submissions have more chances.

Brief:

Produce a synopsis/script for a concept that can be used to produce a 30 to 60 second video greeting to be sent out during the New Year period. The synopsis/script should be as detailed as possible, you can send your idea in the following formats Word, PDF, Keynote, PPT. You can add references such as illustrations, story boards, photos).

You can send your idea to support@userfarm.com along with a link to your portfolio (important, it will influence client's decision).

Please note that you must be able to produce both the script and the video and be willing to liaise with the client. 

The structure of the video should follow these guidelines:

First part - viral/funny/original/teasing (80%) - in a creative way the client want to show how communities can help your (our customers') business.

For example:  having a person (as customer) wakes up a day and is recognized/helped by his community during normal activities (like ordering a coffee, reading a newspaper, etc.)

Second part – commercial closure (20%) - a rapid show reel of our current customers' logo with a final claim (they already chose us to support their communities’ activation) and our logo at the end (theblogtv – value behind communities)

At the end of the video, every video maker can think to add a rapid show reel of TheBlogTv current customers' logo, with the claim - Brands who already chose TheBlogTv to support their community’s activation. This material it will be available on “additional materials/download.
