Imagine a world where you can make your dreams a reality. What would you do if you had the financial support that would allow you to reach your goals?

 

Crédito Real wants to change the way people view credit. Their current campaign “Go Beyond Your Limits” ("Rebasa Tus Limites") aims to highlight the amazing things one can accomplish with a little help.

 

Crédito Real believes we can ALL dream big and are capable of making those dreams come true. They want your inspirational, fun, energetic, and extremely shareable videos to help spread the word that anything is possible, and credit can be a GREAT resource! This should be the kind of video you have to send to your friends and family with a “HAVE YOU SEEN THIS?” or “I KNOW YOU’LL LOVE THIS”

 

Emphasize the positive ways in which credit allows people to go beyond their limitations to achieve their aspirations, materialize their ideas, and enjoy all the beautiful things life has to offer!

 

***This project is for Mexico and Latin America. Be culturally conscious when coming up with Ideas, Pitches and Videos***

 

Things you need to know:

• Casting should be diverse and representative of the Hispanic Market in Mexico and Latin America (NOT U.S. HISPANIC MARKET)
• The Video needs to be in Spanish. Actors should have a neutral Spanish accent
• Sponsor will provide the end-card and graphics. They are open to new executions of the end-card.

 

 *** SPONSOR NOTES FOR VIDEO SUBMISSIONS***

• When casting and executing the video, please be culturally conscious and avoid stereotypes. Use the following link as reference for casting and locations: https://youtu.be/V_BvNMEDUBM 
• When shooting remember to be mindful of signage (if any, make sure they are in Spanish)
• Spanish accent should be neutral.

 

The Sponsor does not want the Video to be a typical commercial that focuses on selling a brand or product. They are looking for a narrative “inspirational/aspir ational” Video that helps audiences connect with the notion that credit is good and gives you the freedom to reach goals faster. The focus should not be to sell Crédito Real, but rather to highlight credit in a positive light and as a good resource to help you attain or achieve something. Think “Like a Girl” Always campaign, or "Kiss for Peace" Axe commercial.

 

 

The goal of this project is to generate a positive view of credit through a 60-second shareable Video with 15-second cut-down, a 30-second behind-the-scenes Video, four (4) Still Images and two (2) GIFs.

  

*** THE VIDEOS NEED TO BE IN SPANISH WITH NEUTRAL SPANISH ACCENT***

 

NOTE: The 60-second Video, 15-second cut-down, behind-the-scenes Video, (4) Still Images and (2) GIFs are all due at the close of the Video Phase.  Please upload them as separate videos when submitting your Videos.

 

Behind-the-Scenes Video: Video, up to 30 seconds in length, that showcases a brief interview with the director about what he likes about this project and the making of the video. Showcase b-roll shots of the production of the video. If the interview is in English, it will need to be dubbed or subtitled in Spanish.

This Project will be worth a total of $65,000 and consists of 3 Phases: an Idea Phase, a Pitch Phase, and a Video Phase. Be sure to read the following information carefully as well as the Official Rules.

 

PHASE 1: IDEA  – Tell us your Idea for a 60-second Video in 140 characters or less.  Remember, an Idea (What is an Idea Phase?) is not a detailed script; it is a spark of inspiration, or a distillation of what will happen in the Video.  As always, Ideas should be clever and engaging.  

 

The winning Idea creators will receive $250 each and a 5% one-time residual payment for any winning Video based on their Idea. (That means if your winning Idea is the basis for the 1st place Video, you will receive $950, the 2nd place Video $600, the 3rd place Video $500, 4th place Video $400) – see Video Phase Payout details for more information.

 

PHASE 2: PITCH - Submit your Pitch (What is a Pitch Phase?) convincing the Sponsor why you should be selected to execute a Video based on one of the winning Ideas from the previous Phase using:

 

• Text (REQUIRED): 500 characters or less synopsizing how you plan to approach and execute this Video.
• Links (REQUIRED): To your previous video work. Please specify your role (producer, director, cinematography, etc.) and DO NOT INCLUDE LINKS TO YOUR SHOWREEL. Please link to individual videos.
• Script (REQUIRED): This should include dialogue from the video you intend to create. 
• Headshots/Casting Boards (REQUIRED): Casting notes or concepts, headshots of actors, etc.
• Treatment (Optional): A detailed narrative description of what's going to happen in the video. 
• Storyboards (Optional): Additional concept art, storyboards, shot list, anything that helps get your point across.
• Pitch Video (Optional): This is your opportunity to show us what you're capable of. Consider submitting a Pitch video in which you tell the Sponsor what they can expect should they choose your Pitch. Also, test videos, animatics, etc. are welcome.   

 

The three (3) most compelling Pitches will be selected and, upon submitting the Winner’s Affidavit and the IP Assignment, will each receive $5,000 to help create the Video.  Additionally, upon submitting a Video that satisfies the criteria laid out in your winning Pitch, the Pitch winners will also be GUARANTEED a winning place in the subsequent Video Phase.  So, if your Pitch is selected and you execute your Pitch effectively in your Video submission, you will win an additional $8,000, at a minimum, and have a chance to compete for the $19,000 First Place video prize (subject to deduction for one-time 5% residual payment to eligible Idea winners). For an example of an effective Pitch, check out The Indie Machines winning “3 Artists & 5,000 LEGOs” Pitch video. All Pitches will remain private until after the winner of the Video Phase is announced and the Project is complete.    

 

PHASE 3: VIDEO – The three (3) winners from the Pitch Phase will each create a 60-second Video based upon their winning Pitch.

 

NOTE: The 60-second Video, 15-second cut-downs, behind-the-scenes Video, (4) Still Images and (2) GIFs are all due at the close of the Video Phase. Please upload them as separate videos when submitting your Videos.

 

All other creators are invited to enter a Wildcard (What Is a Wildcard?) submission that can be based on one of the winning Ideas from the previous Phase or a totally original concept that is not based on any winning material from the Idea Phase.  The Judges will score all Wildcard submissions and the one (1) highest scoring Wildcard Video along with the three (3) winning Videos submitted by Pitch winners will be scored to determine the standings for the Video Phase.  Remember, the three (3) Pitch winners, along with one (1) Wildcard creator, will receive prizes.

 

--Video Phase Payout: Winners of the Video Phase will earn the following prizes: 1st place $19,000, 2nd  place  $12,000, 3rd place $10,000, 4th place $8,000(less any 5% one-time residual payments paid to the Idea winner, as applicable).
