Interest in a possible sponsorship?
The following will include a break down of sponsorship criteria. There is a lot of details but it is all very important as to how Shattered Concepts picks sponsors. If you don’t have the interest to read and respect all aspects of this information, it is best you turn back now as that will likely show.
The Shattered Concepts brand image will reflect sponsorship criteria. With that, the brand image is meant to invoke professionalism, aesthetics, and creativity.
The profesionalism aspect includes your content as well as your ability to communicate and handle situations. We are all here to have fun, but theres a time and place to have fun and when to be serious and professional. Shattered Concepts has more of a “quality over quantity” view. No one is perfect, but quality is far more important than pushing out clips. Make sure they look professional and good quality. The other aspect of profesionalism is maturity. The ability to handle any and all situations in a professional and mature way is a must. This includes the team environment, we are a team, we do not start problems with one another or anyone outside of our team.
Quality and Aesthetics, Shattered Concepts has a very specific kind of image that must be met. This means that the quality of videos, in form of production, and even just video quality in general must be good. 1080p with minimum 30fps is a must for quality. Shattered Concepts understands not everyone has crazy film equipment and the experience with film to make masterpieces. We are all learning and improving and thats part of what this is all about. Provide your best effort and use your surroundings to come up with eye catching scenes for flipping including outdoor scenery, lighting, weather, an when indoor focus in cleanliness and lighting. Learn basic video editing skills to add appealing color correcting and grading to clips. If yours posts are constantly in almost pitch black rooms and bedrooms in general it will likely be ignored, if you must flip indoors please ensure that the room looks aesthetically pleasing and use good lighting. Use Shattered Concepts, and Henosheim (on instgram) and JustOlBap (on reddit) clips to reference aesthetics. For both indoor and outdoor clips.
Creativity, is a huge part of Shattered Concepts, don’t be afraid to step outside the box and create something new. Unique ideas can start something beautiful that no one would ever expect. We are all on this planet together and all have our own way of thinking, do not hold yourself back from what you can do. Be yourself and do what you want, be yourself. Shattered Concepts wants to be able to support your (as a sponsor) growth in what ever you want to progress in. As long as you can incorporate it flawlessly into balisongs Shattered Concepts would love to have you on the team.
The art of balisong flipping is difficult, but progress is key, the art of film is also difficult, but again, progress is key, the goal is to make balisong flipping look aesthetic, a video that even those who arent into balisong flipping can appreciate just for the visuals alone.
I want to make it clear that follower count is NOT as important to Shattered Concepts as you would think.
There are some things that will turn Shattered Concepts away from a sponsorship. Personalities that don’t fit Shattered Concept ideals, having other makers as sponsors already, being a reviewer. As well as clone supporting/backing. These are nothing personal, it’s simply to protect Shattered Concepts and ensure a fair trade off for both Shattered Concepts and yourself as a potential sponsor.
