Overview
|
|
Studio One Media, Inc. ("Studio One") is a diversified media and technology company based in Scottsdale, Arizona. Studio One subsidiaries and divisions include MyStudio, Inc., MyStudio Recording Studios, MyStudio Music, MyStudio Management and MyStudio Mastering.
Over the last six years, Studio One and its wholly-owned subsidiary MyStudio, Inc., have been engaged in the research and development of proprietary, leading edge audio and video technologies for professional and consumer use. Studio One introduced its first groundbreaking product on September 29, 2008, with the installation of its first MyStudio interactive audio and video recording studio in the Scottsdale Fashion Square mall in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Studio One's MyStudio business model and website featuring user generated content (“UGC”) are highly differentiated from leading companies in the entertainment and internet industries. MyStudio offers a unique "bricks and clicks" combination of cash-generating studios and Internet-based advertising revenues. Currently, all major video sharing and social networking websites receive little or no revenue from the creation of the UGC hosted on their websites, forcing them to rely almost exclusively on revenue from website advertisers. The MyStudio business model uniquely provides for revenues generated from both the creation of the UGC by MyStudio customers and advertising. MyStudio advertising revenue is derived from both traditional website advertising and on-studio video monitor advertising.
In addition, the Company expects additional revenue to be generated from music sales and talent management arising from UGC on the MyStudio.net website. Subject to the availability and timing of capital, Studio One expects to install and operate a multitude of MyStudios both nationally and internationally.
MyStudio® Recording Studios
Studio One has developed MyStudio, a self contained, state-of-the-art, high definition ("HD") interactive audio/video recording studio designed for installation in shopping malls and other high traffic areas. MyStudio offers groundbreaking video and sound quality from a proprietary/patent-pending, stand-alone recording studio with an ease and convenience never before available to the public. MyStudio and its accompanying website, MyStudio.net, incorporate into a single entertainment venue the best elements of the world's leading internet and entertainment properties: the video sharing convenience, the social networking appeal and the talent showcase of other well-known websites and television programs.
MyStudio enables users, for a $20 fee, to record up to a five-minute personalized video with professional-quality backdrop, lighting and sound. The studios feature Hollywood-style green screen technology, and users can select from over a thousand HD virtual backgrounds (static and dynamic) and thousands of exclusively licensed karaoke tracks from EMI Music Publishing. The lighting is custom programmed for each virtual background and the sound quality is derived from a specially engineered acoustic design and a proprietary audio signal sequencing process.
Videos are available within minutes for viewing at MyStudio.net upon completion of the recording, and users may order a complimentary DVD at their option. Videos are protected with a privacy pass-code, and the user can decide whether to make the video available to the public. The MyStudio.net website offers users the opportunity to share videos and create member profile pages in a dynamic social networking environment. Users may also create links between MyStudio.net and other social networking sites. Users may also download their videos to cell phones.
MyStudio can be used to create videos for music, modeling, comedy, dating, job resumes, auditions, and personal messages and greetings. Users can also enter their videos into monthly industry sponsored music, modeling and comedy contests.
