Whether you are big brand, an event-manager, tourist-board or everyday-user you can host a social crowd movie on ShotClip. The host of the crowd movie can have a private crowd (invitation only e.g. for a Wedding) or they can do a public global campaign (e.g. global promotion of a new product, event, movie or album)
ShotClip uses a freemium business model with in-app purchases for upgrades. Free users can have upto 5 users on a private project, if they want more users they have 2 options: The first is to upgrade to a $4/month premium package (20 users, HD renders) or an event package $200/year (200 users, HD renders). This enables the host to have complete control over the users who join the private project.
Free users also have a second option to turn their project into a public/global project. This will be free on ShotClip as it promotes open and public crowd generated content.

A key offering of ShotClip is competitive collaboration which is enabled by the director template for the movie. The director template is a shot-by-shot breakdown for the movie storyline. The host/admin user controls the director template and invited users collaboratively fill each shot in the storyline to make a movie. When a user clicks into a shot they can record a clip of their own or they can use a clip from the crowd. Using a clip from the crowd gives that clip a vote and hence the most popular clips rise to the top to form a Crowd View of the storyline. This enables competition amongst users to make it into crowd view and it also enables a social media campaign to evolve promoting the most popular clips and users.
To enable this ShotClip has built a patent pending system for crowd movies using technologies such as couchdB, node.js, angular.js, android and IOS.
ShotClip has raised over €600,000 in seed investment to date and has over 85,000 users with the new product launch of its crowd movie making app in March 2015.

ShotClip is built on the idea of a director templates. Each director template describes the storyline for the movie through a shot-list, users can then fill the shot-list template with video clips to make a movie.
The person who starts a project on ShotClip is called the director. They have full control of the director template and can modify the shotlist and storyline for the movie. The Director then invites friends to join the film crew and to help collaboratively shoot the shot-list for the movie.
This where it can get competitive because everyone can compete to be the most popular clip in each shot. It also enables different crowd views to be populated. E.g. crowd view based on most popular clips, crowd view based on newest clips etc.

ShotClip enables crowd generation of content and an associated marketing campaign to run in conjunction with the crowd movie, promoting the users, best clips, different crowd views of the movie and showing how it evolves. It is also social and enable users on the crowd movie to interact with eachother.
