[Collaboration background]
When a creator produces a video work, the cooperation of many professionals such as performers, sound and production staff is essential, and in addition, a large amount of capital is required. Furthermore, even after a work is completed, there are problems such as limited opportunities for public viewing and complicated management and storage of work data, making it difficult for creators to produce video works. Ta.
Under such circumstances, visual voice
・Hold international short film festivals (SSFF & ASIA) and provide creators with a venue to present their works.
・Provide LLB, a data asset management service that maximizes the value of creators, and connects it to the operation of managing and storing work data.
I’ve been working on this.
However, there are still issues regarding payments when fans purchase and view work data stored in LLB, as well as issues regarding obtaining collaborators and funds for the production of works, and Visual Voice and D-Caret DCP are unable to resolve these issues. We have repeatedly considered ways to solve these issues.
The future of crowdfunding: Achieving integration where fans and supporters become part of the project

The outline of the DAO fan token service, a community for creators, that Visual Voice and D-Caret DCP aim to jointly provide is as follows.

・Creators consider the project, performers, director, filming location, etc. when producing a video work.
・There are fans of the creators, performers, directors, etc. who would like to collaborate with them in producing the work. We also believe that if a video is being filmed in a place that has a connection to them, there are local residents and businesses who would like to support it.
・Fans who want to be involved in the production and local people at the shooting location can become involved in the creation and production of the work by expressing their participation and support in response to the creator’s request, and those participants and supporters will be allocated compensation. Masu. We will consider the use of digital currencies DCJPY and DAO in the content of
participation, support, and reward structure.
・Produced video works can be delivered to fans through screening at SSFF & ASIA and events around the world.
By utilizing digital currencies and DAOs, individuals and companies that previously had difficulty engaging in video production will be able to easily participate. Up until now, in video production, creators and fans have been separate entities. With the DAO Fan Token Service, fans can not only support video production, but also be involved in planning and operation depending on the amount of support. For example, you can generate ideas, create costumes and music to promote your work, and arrange filming locations to liven up your local area.
Going beyond simply raising funds, creators and supporters can work together to create and produce films, creating a new customer experience that is exciting together.
Visual Voice and D-Caret DCP will work to improve the creative experience of creators through the community for creators and DAO fan token service.
