Movidiam officially launches at Las Vegas AWS event

Movidiam, an innovative new platform set to transform the international filmmaking industry, officially launched yesterday.

Unveiled at Amazon Web Services’ Re:-Invent, following an introduction and Q&A session with Amazon’s Chief Technical Officer, Dr Werner Vogels, Movidiam is designed to make it easier for filmmakers across the globe to connect, collaborate and make remarkable high quality films.

George Olver and Alex Vero were hand picked to be one of the four startups chosen to present at the fourth Annual Startup Launches in Las Vegas.

Combining purpose-built proprietary, intuitive software with the latest technology, Movidiam allows filmmakers across the world to showcase their work and skills, encouraging direct employment from brands and agencies looking to make any film content ranging from a corporate video to a television advert.

The platform, which has its headquarters in London, simplifies the way film projects are briefed, managed, executed and billed while also safeguarding the quality as every filmmaker joining the network has been carefully screened by an expert member of the Movidiam team.

The site launches today after already securing over 14,000 registrations across almost 200 countries, including Oscar and BAFTA winning filmmakers.

With more than twenty years in the film industry, the co-founders, who are also partners at film agency Pendragon Productions have worked with brands including Google, Adidas, Samsung, Coca Cola and Virgin.

George Olver, Co-founder of Movidiam, comments: “The global online video production industry is estimated to be worth $32 billion per year with the biggest segment of growth lying within the online corporate video and commercials market. Movidiam provides a platform to maximise the industry’s economic potential. This has been made possible through the advances in technology in recent years and we are thrilled to have been recognised and supported by Amazon Web Services as we launch Movidiam to the market.”

Alex Vero, Co-founder of Movidiam, adds: “By creating this transparent network of high quality filmmakers around the world, brands and agencies can connect with them directly to create the films they need without the traditional cumbersome process inherent with the current business model. This not only creates jobs for filmmakers but also saves time and money for brands and agencies.”
