WORLD PREMIERE on Steemit /// THE JUJU GUM CONSPIRACY /// January 8th 2018

in #steemit6 years ago

So I decided to show you my JUJU!

A WORLDWIDE FILM PREMIERE on STEEMIT??? I don't know how often that has happened before on this platform but I haven't seen anything similar since I joined... and I think that's what is missing.

Like @juliakponsford, co-creator of the film, pointed out yesterday in her announcement post here, people will come to Steemit to read about different subjects but then they will quit the platform to watch a movie on Netflix. What if they watch the movie on Steemit instead?

So we spent some dough to film this and worked on it for 5 years, from the idea to the final product. Is it worth it to put it on Steemit and get a few dollars when it's all said and done?

Probably not.

Can this be an eye opener for some of the true potential of a decentralized platform for content creators?

Possibly.

Can a clown do ten times the payout by copying a link of a video he didn't even make from youtube and posting it on Steemit.

That's a fact.

So why bother then?


We like the potential of the platform, even the sleeping power for the content that you don't see on here right now. Most importantly we like the people of Steemit. We have made many friends here and we encounter amazing artists daily. We decided that we want these people to be the first to see our film, because they are supportive, kind and they have what it takes to get it. More then that, we like them, so we want to offer them the most precious thing that we can give.

Meet our little bastard child:

Everybody is chewing Juju gum, it’s the new sensation and it’s highly hypnotic ad campaign seems to be having some strange effects.

Created by a malicious organization called SOFIE, they targets three individuals using manipulative and highly unethical tactics to take complete control of their minds.

Cedric, a thug who is desperate for money is recruited by SOFIE to do their dirty work, Paul, a normally quiet and boring accountant is under attack and a mobster named Ivano finds his daughter missing. As these characters lives intertwine they must fight together to become free of The Juju Gum Conspiracy.

We are just finishing up the final edits of each episode, it was originally intended to be 21 but we decided to make each episode a little longer for a grand total of 14 original never aired anywhere episodes. Starting THE 8TH OF JANUARY 2018 we will post one episode a day (around 8pm EST timezone) for 2 weeks straight. We will keep the video links active until the 8th of february 2018. After that date we might present it on other platforms, but Steemit will be first.

The end product will be presented on this blog but you have to check @juliakponsford's page because she will discuss all the aspects of pre-production such as scriptwriting, casting, prop making etc. Until this fateful date of release I will do my part to promote the series by posting a few of the original 13 tracks I created for this project. The characters all have really different personalities so I designed the soundscape in many styles to fit them. That will be my special musical way to introduce them to you.

So do you wanna see my JUJU?

Sort:  

If I haven't told you, you and @juliakponsford are two of my favorite creatives on steemit. I love promoting these posts and just wish there were more of them to promote lol.

I'm going to be writing 1-2 posts a week leading up to the release so we should be able to keep you busy ❤️

THANK YOU SO MUCH big hugs to you! This is Julia and I little bastard child and we are so happy to let him loose in the world to cause some damage :)

HOLY mega-CRABZ! This is the best thing I have heard on Steemit since I was DEEP in the Steemfest Madness! I can NOT WAIT until this series starts airing, Iam going to be drooling over Every Episode!!! Every moment you have slaved over this production will be worth it! good luck with the finishing touches you awesome ninjas of the steemit universe :D

I'm so excited that your excited! Woohoo Ooo!

HOORAY average size-OCTOPUS! Thanks it's pretty much ready to go I have to do a few exports and that's all.
I knew the film as a feature now I rediscover it as a series and I like it, hope you do to.
Knowing that you might be drooling over our film gives us joy!
This is because there are people like you that we choose to present our work here.

OMG this blow my mind!! I want to seee the wholeee thing :p wow this work it's so fcking special |3 I will steal ur gif here

YYYYYEEESSSS YUUU!!! Spam this gif everywhere!!!! You will see our JUJU, it's happening!

Props to you guys! Keep up the amazing work and the payouts will come, what you're gaining now is folks who love and support you and your work!

I know it's frustrating to see reposts make tons of coin while real art and blood sweat and tears seem to go unrecognized but know your hard work will pay off! I believe in the limitless potential of this platform and the folks in it!

Pumped for the release! <3

Thank you girl! I hope I was not sounding bitter I was merely exposing the facts (talking about garbage post having massive payout and top quality content getting nothing). From our point of view it was expensive and really hard to produce this thing so we would wish viewer to realize that but we are not delusional either, my average payout is 3$ by post right now.... As I mention the 2 main factor why we decided to go this route is because we will keep all the right from our film after the release and we present it to our favorite people first.... for example YOU! Julia and I wish you will tune in!

Of course I will! I didn't think you came off bitter at all, of anything you may have just triggered MY bitterness. I know what it's like to put your creative heart and soul plus time AND money into a post and then what it's like to see some reposted content that was stolen make a huge payout.

At least we're in a community who largely cares about quality. I think I needed to hear the words I wrote as much as anyone though haha

Can't wait!

You tha man!!! keep doing your thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is definitely the biggest tightest shit I can present in here. Hope you tune in brother.. Dig your jam this week again and I was even considering dropping something on it but I am still overwhelmed at work :I

You have my full backing with this project man!!! nuff respect!!!!!!!
... All good, you know where I am in the matrix when you wanna jam man!!!!!

haha! this looks absolutely class! i cant wait to see this!!

As I told you yesterday when I started writing the script few years back with @juliakponsford, we had one thing in mind as the guideline: GANG STALKING. Who's doing it? For what reasons? How do they manages to pull it off? Who's at the control center? How a victim will slowly go crazy or at least sound crazy...
Start finding out on January 8th

I CANNOT wait for this. I too think this platform hides some sleeping potentials not seen in other platforms. It will be very exciting to see how this production propagates in here. So not only am I anxious to see how great new media rolls out, I am SO looking forward to seeing your full production!! Double Whammy :)

Yo my friend. I do hope you manage to survive the 14 episodes so you can tell us what you think! This was a crazy idea to start with so let's maintain the insanity high level for a few more weeks....jujugumconspiracy.gif

Maintaining insanity will not be a problem. Very exciting times.

I love the trailer and you both have amazing skills! I can't wait to see this! I am with @clayboyn and agree. You and @juliakponsford are two of my favorites on Steemit for your creativity!

This is so nice thank you so much. I am 50% with you on this; Julia she's one of my favorite artist ever. For the other half I am not sure because I am a bit to close to the source to be impartial....

Take my word for it :) <3

This is badass. I will follow super stoked on this generous release! I just recorded a song a couple of days ago and only put it on Steemit. You are absolutely right Steemit needs some serious steemit exclusive content to bring it to it's full potential.

Yes Steemit will grow with less shit post and more genuine content totally agreed and hopefully you will watch the series!!!

Absolutely I will

I love the concept and of course the trailer. I saw this from a resteem by @vachemorte. I hope this blows up exponentially.... :) good luck and can't wait for the release.

YES Johnny Copper #1!! I am happy to know that you will check it out!
