@Prof_Atikin Has to be @goofs_world. This set has introduced revolutionary dynamic technology without affecting rarity.

[G👀FS @goofs_world]

The first 1👀 G👀FS are about to come to life!

In the next few minutes we will perform the final tests for our minting platform on the production network. We will be minting 1👀 G👀FS that will be reserved for promotions, giveaways, and the team

We also want to take a moment to thank everyone on our team for making this possible! A project of this quality doesn't come together over night, and without the following individuals, G👀FS would not exist!

Thank you legends all for your hard work, dedication, and conviction in the vision we are building together 👀 #LFGOOF

This week I donated a @VeggieMatesNFT Franchise Pass to @TheFarmBots, not just because I'm excited about the upcoming @goofs_world mint and each lvl3 FP serves as WL, but because it also gives boosted $greens staking rewards @virtuallymade. I hope to be dripping $greens one day!

[Veggiemates @VeggieMatesNFT]

Anyone else tired of drama? Let's make NFTs fun again!

Here's a recap of our weekend

[Veggiemates @VeggieMatesNFT]

It’s officially the two year anniversary since our Veggiemate collection was completely minted 🎉

These last two years have brought about countless stories that will be forever engrained into our company history.

It all started with the idea of making the world a better place by promoting wellness through a goofy cast of characters created by @robotlimb

The battle of good and bad choices is something we face everyday and Veggiemates vs. Junkies is such a good representation of those choices and how they affect the outcomes of our lives.

From the very beginning we decided to take a different path. A path of pushing boundaries. A path of innovation. A path of breaking the norms. It started by going against the trend of using humanoid animals and choosing vegetables instead.

Our first big decision was to use 13 different base layers, instead of the typical one base layer. @Veggiematesnft would be comprised of different shapes, colors, and genders to represent diversity in the set. However, this presented a major art challenge as broccolis 🥦 and carrots 🥕 are very different shapes which doesn’t play friendly with generative art.

The next goal was to build a game. We wanted to bring fun into the world and this was how we wanted to do it. During this time we brought on first official team member @gubjub. With a background in game development, and a mind full of genius ideas, @gubjub challenged our team to dream bigger.

So we sharpened our pencils and completely revamped our whitepaper, which ultimately led to the birth of Virtually Made. An entertainment company that would change the status quo of legacy media. A company dedicated to enabling creators and bringing fun into the world.

This expanded our company outlook a 100x. We weren’t thinking of being the next big NFT project. We’re thinking about being the next big entertainment company.

Thus began:
➡️ VM - Productions
➡️ VM - Studios
➡️ VM - Arcade
➡️ VM - Labs
➡️ VM - Live

These 5 branches of our entertainment company would ultimately give us the breathe of content we need to entertain the world. We have developed countless content since and have so much more in store including a Roguelite dungeon crawler game - Bazooka Brock 🥦, a revamp of our short form animation series Popo and Carrot 🥔🥕, and the launch of @goofs_world our second Virtually Made IP littered with its own unique innovations.

We are proud to think about how much we have accomplished in these past two years. Just looking at the list of deliverables is really mind blowing 🤯

Accomplishments:
➡️ Launch of Junkies
➡️ Creation of $Greens utility token
➡️ $Greens staking platform
➡️ Multiple short form animations
➡️ Creation of @virtuallymade White-paper
➡️ Release of Veggilante comic strips
➡️ Complete website revamp
➡️ Hosting 6 Farmers Markets
➡️ Production of multiple soundtracks from @BigPaulThomas
➡️ Franchise Pass - One of the first projects to pioneer CIP-68 utilizing our own CIP-25 to CIP-68 conversion tool

However more than any deliverables, what we are most proud of is the community we have cultivated. A community of people who are there to support one another. A community who believes in something greater. To everyone who supported us along the way- we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts ❤️

Though we have accomplished so much, we are just getting started. Our milestones thus far will serve as a foundation for all future development. We will continue to innovate. We will continue push boundaries. We will to continue to promote diversity. We will continue to positively impact the lives of others. And we WE WILL CHANGE THE WORLD TOGETHER!!

The entertainment industry is at a tipping point which is why @virtuallymade was incepted.

We want to be a catalyst for innovation to progress the industry so that it is more equitable for both audiences and creatives.

Simply put, the game has changed over the last 10 years. As technology advances we see more self-publication platforms like Youtube, Spotify and TikTok where aspiring creatives can publish, distribute and monetize their work while also building a following.

This means that the talent agencies and production companies that used to have to take substantial financial risk to discover, incubate and launch talent no longer need to do so. Instead they expect creatives to use these platforms to build their own following before getting involved.

This is what we call leverage.

The big players in the entertainment industry control the pipelines and infrastructure to hyper-scale an artist on a global platform, however, they won't spend their resources to do so unless you have already proven that your brand is marketable.

So basically, you do all the work to build your following and then give the rights to your content away in order for a talent agency to give you the platform to go from content creator to star. The ability to do this mostly boils down to the quality of connections within an entities network and throwing a big budget at the product to push marketing and brand awareness to a wider audience.

This often ends up with creatives getting the short end of the stick leaving them with the minority revenue of the content they create and no ownership over the IP.

In rare scenarios, a creative might be able to negotiate points on the back end like Robert Downy Jr did for his role in the Avengers. While Chris Evans earned 3m of his role as Captain America in the first Avengers movie, Robert Downy Jr made 50m taking a smaller payment upfront but points on the back. Meanwhile Marvel/Disney were able to net 750m from the movies success after all expenses.

These are just the actors mind you, the other creatives like writers, musicians, audio techs, vfx artists, etc made a flat fee with little to no rev sharing other than an industry standard royalty. This is just one instance of entertainment but can be applied to all sectors be it Live Events, Music, Television, Movies or Games.

Understanding these models allows us to identify opportunity spaces where blockchain technology can transform the industry to provide more equitable participation for creatives and higher quality of content for audiences.

Blockchain can provide transparency and efficiency for tracking the ownership and licensing of intellectual property, facilitating direct transactions between creators and audiences.

If integrated correctly it can be used to publish, distribute and actively prevent counterfeits by verifying the authenticity of products and digital content.

Smart contracts automate the payments based on contractual milestones and deliverables that exist within a creative's contract. This can also be extended to automatically allocate and distribute royalties once the scope of work has been completed.

Blockchain can provide transparency into the production and distribution of physical merchandise ensuring that stakeholders have access to accurate real-time information.

Finally, platforms built on top of blockchain technology can be used to create much deeper and more engaging experiences that are customizable and collectible. These platforms can also be used to provide creatives with tools to rapidly create, publish distribute and monetize their content without needing a robust team of different skill sets to do so.

At the end of the day the entertainment industry didn't become the $2.5 trillion behemoth that it is today by playing fair with creatives or with audiences. It did this by taking advantage of both, devaluing their contributions towards it's success. In the true spirit of blockchain and decentralization, @virtuallymade aims to flip this model on it's head as a team of truly disruptive innovators who've achieved the highest accolades within the industry already.
