Motorola Brand Story

Product Background

DROID BIONIC by Motorola has arrived and is breaking new ground as one of the fastest, most powerful smartphones on the market. The DROID BIONIC by Motorola runs on Verizon’s 4G LTE network, providing lightning quick access to content, a new level of ease in downloading music and watching videos, innovative applications like webtop and ZumoCast by Motorola for new ways to access and experience your entertainment, and powerful capabilities such as 1080p HD video capture, video chat over 4G and a brilliant 4.3” qHD display for an immersive multimedia experience. 

 

 

DROID is a trademark of Lucasfilm Ltd. and its related companies. Used under license.

 

Create a 30-90 second video that gets consumers excited about the new DROID BIONIC through creative story-telling in which the device and its technology empowers the moment  and aligns with the theme of “Control it, and you control everything.” This video can focus on a unique aspect of DROID BIONIC and/or how it can affect a consumer’s life/give them control over their content and their life.

 

This project will be worth a total of $25,000 and consist of three phases. Also, this tournament style process will progress differently from previous projects, so be sure to read the following information carefully. 

 

PHASE 1: IDEA – In 140 characters or less, tell us your Idea for a video that centers around the theme of “Control it, and your control everything.” Remember, an Idea is not a detailed script; it is a brief synopsis or distillation of what will happen in the Video. As always, Ideas should be clever, engaging, and fun. Winning Ideas will receive $250 and a 5% residual payment of every winning Video they are used to generate, as well as a DROID BIONIC by Motorola smartphone and complementary accessory.

 

PHASE 2: PITCH – Using text (500 characters or less), images (storyboards), video, and external links (to other supporting assets, i.e., your reel, etc.), give us your Pitch for how YOU would go about producing this Video based on one of the five winning Ideas from the previous Phase. The FIVE most compelling Pitches will be selected and the creators of those Pitches will receive a $500 production budget plus the device to create their Video. Those winners will also be GUARANTEED to place in the subsequent Video Phase. So, if your Pitch is selected, you will earn a minimum of $1,500 (minus residuals) with a 1-in-8 shot at the $10,000 first place video prize, as well as a DROID BIONIC by Motorola smartphone and complementary accessory. Remember your Pitch can include any, and all, of the assets mentioned above, but you MUST include a link to some of your previous video work on Tongal or elsewhere to be considered for this phase. For an example of an effective pitch, check out Sean Clarke’s winning Benjamin Moore “Find Your Perfect Color” Pitch here. To avoid information cascades, all Pitches will remain private until after the video winners of the subsequent phase are announced. Alternatively, even if you don’t win the Pitch Phase or choose not to create a pitch, you will still have the opportunity to create a “Wild Card” Video completely of your own creative devices in the subsequent Phase. 

 

PHASE 3: VIDEO – Create a 30-90 second video that centers on the theme of “Control it, and you control everything.” Remember, it should be a narrative about how BIONIC puts control back into the consumer’s hands. In terms of style/approach, it is strongly suggested that your video be consistent with the overall DROID branding. Pitch winners of the previous phase will submit their Videos while all other creators are invited to enter a “Wild Card” submission that’s not based on any winning material from the previous phase. Remember, the Five Pitch winners are GUARANTEED prizes as are three of the non-pitch video creators.
