REFERENCE VIDEOS: These are examples of other videos with clever transitions and visual effects to give you a sense of what Chime is aiming for:

• Social First Transition Example
• Social First Transition Example 2

Are you a creator who specializes in unique visual tricks, seamless edits, or other creative transitions and effects on TikTok? If so, Chime wants to work with YOU to create a series of short, eye-catching videos for TikTok and Instagram Reels that use interesting edits or tricks to represent how it feels to make smarter money decisions. 

These are NOT ads, and what we're looking for should be made to connect organically with viewers in their feeds or For You pages. While we will want to incorporate a money theme into the videos in some way, you should think about the transitions, edits, or visual tricks first, and we can then help you to connect that back to money or to Chime's messaging. Check out Chime's TikTok for a sense of their style and tone, and their team has also included some transition examples in the Background section to give you a sense of the style they'll be aiming for. To keep things simple, you can use the same person in each video.

In your treatment, please tell us a bit more about about the transitions, edits, or effects you'd want to use in these videos, and feel free to include links to any existing TikTok videos (they don't have to be your own) that represent the style you'd be aiming for. For any questions or other project updates, check out the Project Forum.

By participating in this project, creators acknowledge that the Sponsor is under no obligation to greenlight a bid. Though most projects on our platform do move forward with a greenlit bid, we will notify you in the event the Sponsor decides not to fund any bids via the project forum. Regardless of the result, all submissions will be reviewed and evaluated by the Sponsor and the project team.

Shooting live action or stop motion? Our priority is ensuring everyone's safety, so please review our COVID-19 Production Safety Guide and check federal, state, and local rules before and during your shoot to make sure your on-set protocols are up to date. We're working hard to keep people working during this extraordinary time, and you should ensure your submission is executable within the anticipated timeline and budget, while also ensuring everyone's safety.

 

In order to be considered for this project, you must include the below materials in your pitch submission. For examples of effective pitches, check out this gallery.

 

• TEXT (REQUIRED): Up to 500 characters synopsizing how you plan to approach and execute these videos.
  
  
• TREATMENT (REQUIRED): A quick document breakdown what's going to happen in the videos, or links to existing TikToks that represent the style you'll be aiming for. This can be very simple, and just helps the Sponsor understand a bit more about what you'd want to create. If it's helpful to you, we've provided a treatment template, which you can find here. 

• LINKS (REQUIRED): To your previous video work. Please only include links to TikTok or Reels assets you've worked on, or to your TikTok/Instagram account. Please specify your role (producer, director, cinematography, etc.) and DO NOT INCLUDE LINKS TO YOUR SHOWREEL.
  
  
• PITCH VIDEO (Optional): This is your opportunity to be face-to-face with the Sponsor and show them 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. For some examples of effective Pitch videos, check out this gallery. All Pitches will remain private until after the Sponsor gives creator(s) the green light to move forward.
