I have a few questions:
1 - Broadcast a concert of your fav artist is not easy as it seems to be. You need get a broadcasting/streaming license agreement with the artist LABEL (Warner, Sony, etc) and that cost a lot and most of the cases, the label doesn't approve the stream. Even if the stream is allowed, you can't leave it on demand on most of the agreements.
2 - You are directly competing with the big TV Channels (ABC, MTV, BIS, Clear Channel, etc.) What make you think the label will prefer to deal with your company than those big channels?
3 - Even the Netflix doesn't get license for adding concerts in their plataform, how you will convince the industry to do that?
If you are planning to do multicameras for people choise their angle, you also would get the 'deal' with the event promoter and bring your whole cameramens, techs, and a big staff members to a concert to make this happen.
I came from the music industry and that's all my doubts.
Hello!
We are very sorry for the delay..
You are correct in that it's not easy. However, with Heardbeats a new business model has been put together, different from the one that already exists:
Transmission of concerts will not be free; it will be PPV. With this, we seek to satisfy not only fans but also artists, who will make profits from ticket sales to fans who would not normally be able to attend their concerts. Regarding VOD, we have specified that not all concerts will be available on VOD and those that do will appear some time after a live performance (as Netflix does with premieres).
Currently there is already a platform that has VOD concerts, quello.com, but they do not have the focus that Heardbeats does: virtual reality, multi-camera and 360º (mainly).
http://www.okayplayer.com/news/qello-new-app-netflix-for-music-tech-review.htmlPromoters will also benefit from the increased sales of concert tickets due to the visual reach achieved with Heardbeats. Regarding bringing and setting up cameras and technical equipment, in a few years recording with 360o technology will be quite normal in live events, not to mention that virtual reality will be much more common and accessible than today, increasing the ease of implementation with time. The music industry will not want to miss out on this kind of application.
We hope we have answered your questions!
