Finish production and marketing for our sportbike trackday film
What advice do you have to help me grow my idea?
Idea Description
We filmed a bunch of on-bike and off-bike footage at numerous race tracks around the west last summer. We are now in the process of acquiring music talent as well as piecing the footage together. We hope to release the movie this spring on DVD, and sell it through online sales and at motorcycle shops around the country. Our website is www.wickedchickenstudios.com.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
Purchase additional software (special fx and filtering), have the artwork created, replicate the movie, and market it.
Vote for it now.
First of all you need to define a market for you video and research distribution channels. Are you going to sell your video primarily over the internet or do you plan n having you movie distributed and sold in motorcycle shops around the nations. If you feel that you have a larger market Best Buy or other large retailers may be a viable solution.
As far as music for you video, you will have to get a synch license for each song used. It will probably be easier and cheaper to get smaller independent bands to let you use your songs for a nominal fee than getting larger more popular band's songs. here are a couple links concerning synch licenses.
