Summary
SAVAGE (https://www.savage.app) is the first community driven and eco-friendly NFT media marketplace focused on Hollywood-quality video and photography.
With a track record of creating content for some of the world’s biggest brands and a combined social media presence of over 12 million followers, SAVAGE is the next generation media and content marketplace.
Introduction
Q. Please introduce yourself to the community members. Please tell us about yourself and your experience and work in the Crypto field. What’s your role in the project and when did you join Crypto?
Of course! Hey everyone, I’m Luke, CEO of SAVAGE. I am a filmmaker and have worked closely with brands like Amazon, Samsung, Adobe, Panasonic and more to shoot beautiful cinematic content. I also started the YouTube channel “SAVAGE” which now has over 140,000 subscribers. I personally entered Crypto in 2017. I learned all about alt-coins, got wrecked a few times and made some gains as well. Was instantly hooked!
Q1. Do you make ads or movies
Both! The SAVAGE team works on all different kinds of content. From Ferrari car commercials to Top Gun.
Q2. What fascinated you most about Crypto back when you joined?
What it meant in the traditional finance world. It felt a little… rebellious? That always connected with me. Going against the grain and doing something different. I’ve been waiting for that attitude to connect with the arts (film and photographer specifically) for a long time.
Q3. That’s 😎 cool, will come back to that. But before, let’s dive deep into the project 😉. Please tell us what the project is all about. What is the core aim of SAVAGE and how is it going to harness the potential of the Crypto market?
SAVAGE is the world’s first carbon-neutral NFT platform for video and photography. In the world right now, there are 7 billion people with a camera in their pocket. Many of them taking very high quality 4K videos. As of now, there isn’t a great way to monetize that content on the Legacy OR the NFT/crypto side. File size upload limitations, high platform fees (Legacy) and crazy gas fees have prevented people in the film world from truly entering the space. We want to change that.
Q4. And how are you going to bring about this change? Please tell us about the features and mechanism behind this idea.
We are looking at this through two lenses: Legacy and NFT. Monetization platforms for each of these present a different set of problems that we fix.
On the Legacy side, they have been taking massive cuts from artists for decades. Sometimes in excess of 70%! Everyone knows of the struggles in the music industry but the video/photo industries have just as many issues.
NFTs have represented a totally new and unique form of monetization for digital artists, but filmmakers and video creators haven’t been able to enter the space due to technical limitations of the platforms. High gas fees, high energy consumption and low upload file size limits have prevented almost all video content creators from entering the space.
Q5. Yeah the gas is 🥵🥵. So how are you going to tackle these issues? What are the features of SAVAGE that makes it sustainable with low gas and legacy fess?
- 98% creator payouts
- $10 minting
- 100% carbon-neutral
- Rights managed contracts built into the Metadata
- “Team NFTs”
- 2GB file upload limits
To name a few!
Q6. Can you please give us a brief detail about what is carbon neutral and how will it help your platform?
Of course! Carbon-neutral means that any CO2 released into the atmosphere from a company’s activities is balanced by an equivalent amount being removed. In the photo/video world specifically, a crazy amount of FUD hit this spring regarding the energy needed to mint NFTs on PoW (Proof of Work) protocols. This has kept the biggest names in photo/video out of the NFT space.
Q7. Let’s talk about the team behind the project 🤠. Since you are more of a video guy😉😉. Who is the Dev of the project? How many members are there in your core team and how long have you been working together?
SAVAGE Team
The dev work is being done by PixelPlex, a fantastic software and blockchain development firm. Our lead developer, Alex Dolgov, attended film school and the PixelPlex team of about 20 developers are working around the clock to realize our crazy vision for SAVAGE! 😀
Q8. Let’s talk about the token. What is the tokenomics of your token, and how will you stimulate the users to hold your token in the long run?
The $SAVG token fuels the marketplace and by developing on Polygon, it gives us an easy bridge to ETH 2.0. The token will unlock NFT discounts and creators can stake it or enter sweepstakes and giveaways. It will fuel our gig marketplace and then eventually be the sole source of governance when we move to a DAO.
Session 2: Community Questions
Q1. Partnerships are always an important factor for every project. So who are your partners? What are the benefits you get from those relationships?
We have worked with some of the largest brands on the planet. See the full list here! Our goal is to bring every single one of these into the Crypto space.
Q2. You mentioned that SAVAGE is the first community driven and eco-friendly NFT Media marketplace focused on hollywood-quality video and photography. Would you tell us more about this? How can the community be more involved and contribute to the SAVAGE project? What are the supporting factors that SAVAGE is environmentally friendly? Is it only the Hollywood industry that SAVAGE is currently focusing on? What about Bollywood, Hong Kong and other country film industries?
Anyone can contribute to SAVAGE! There are over 7 billion people on the planet with a camera in their pocket. Smartphone camera technology is evolving rapidly and everyone can be a content creator. SAVAGE is a platform built to house the work of Hollywood creators to everyone with an iPhone!
