Tentative start date:
4 September 2014:
Volunteer Personnel
Needed:
A) Writers:
B) Singers:
C) Rappers:
D) Business Liaison: for this Project and will represent me in the
business of music.
E) Project Planners and Promoters
F) Video Cameraman
G) Photographers
H) More as needs arise:
Social
Impact: is a non commercial music
and movie project.
A) Meaning all
participants will work as volunteers for the National Community Network, INC.
B) Meaning all
copyrights and royalties will belong exclusively to the National Community
Network, INC., as required by IRS 501 3 c public charity regulations. To be
used to exploit and sold to earn funding to support our programs and capital
investments.
C) All profits
earned will be used to fund Operation Solution and Response, which everyone
involved should be able to benefit from, but we also welcome people who just
want to give back to our community. But
this is really about self determination.
D) All earnings
from this project can be applied as a tax deduction to the participants at a
predetermined breakdown based on our income as a result of these royalties in
the future, plus all labor will also be in-kind contributions to our
organization allowing tax deduction for all work done for us as a volunteer. We will issue and maintain timesheets for all
participants, which be documented and maintain in are records as proof of
in-kind contribution, which is a form of a donation from you to us. With an understanding that we are us!
Goals and objectives:
#1: Record a
socially relevant and hopefully provocative album using local artist as well as
participation from the PTS Movement. The
album will deal exclusively with social issues we feel needs to be addressed,
giving the writers an opportunity to send out relevant messages that we hope will
act as a springboard to creating a system of self determination, community
redevelopment, economic empowerment and community safety and pride.
#2: Write a
screenplay that we will use the participants of this project as the leading
actors and actresses. We would like to
record some of the events leading to this production in video and photographs
for its historical relevance. Anyone
with video equipment interested should really consider being a part of this.
#3: Sought after
funding to promote this project and purchase at least $5,000 CD's, which we will
sell for about $3.00 to $4.00 minimum donation each, allowing a mark up for
artist to earn a few dollars, while promoting this project as volunteers. If we get a solicitation license for New York , we could setup stations throughout New York City
#4: Sought after
funding to put the screenplay "Social Impact" into film production as a
community oriented project. We would
want the approval and blessing of the Avon Park City Council.
Due to its non commercial status and social relevance on
issues such as AIDS, drugs infestation and drug laws, black on black crime,
black religion or lack or religion, crime, literacy, recidivism, black disenfranchisements
and the many issues that create afflictions in our community will be addressed. We think we can take an approach of reaching
out to gain sponsorship to support this project, based on its relevance and non
commercial nature.
Therefore we will search for sponsors based on the issue at
hand to gather funding to carryout the promotion, production and sales of this
project and we want to carry this program out in full. We want to create a movie here in Avon Park
Required Signed Documentation:
All participants will be required to sign the following
documents:
1: The NCN Volunteer Agreement
2: Photography Release Agreement
3: Volunteer Assignment Agreement
These Agreements will establish our business relationship:
These document basically state that we own the royalties and
copyrights from your work for us as an as a volunteer of the National Community
Network, INC. and we are no paying you for your labor and is not responsibility
if you get injured on the job. While
Felony Community Service Personnel would be covered by workers compensation
immediately in case of injury, it is our goal to include things like insurance
coverage as part of our package for movie productions well as other perks, such
as porterhouse steaks events, refreshments and so forth. If we pull this off,
we can treat you like royalty, we just cannot pay you at all, under 501 c 3
regulations concerning music and film production as a non commercial project.
Starting Software
Program Applications to be used in this Project:
1: Reason 6.5 may upgrade to 7.0
2: Acid 7.0 Professional
3: Acid/Wav Loop Library
with 1,000's of loops in many genres.
Special orders may be in order if we find Funders.
4: Cubase 7 if certain VST effects are required
5: Adobe Audition 3.0
Significant
Hardware:
1: One Sterling ST-79 Microphone
2: One SE
Reflection Filter
Meaning we have a good microphone to start out with and the
reflection filter along with the virtual gate effects in the audio production
programs, can create professional results with little noise in the background. I have audio programs to remove background
noises as well, but rarely ever need it. Still for best results we want to work
during the most quiet hours.
While we have one microphone setup for now, we can do
multiple tracks, but can only record one person at a time. The reason I chose
Reason 6.5 for this project, is because it uses less power than Cubase 7 and
therefore we will be able to use damn near unlimited tracks for vocals,
especially if we are importing beats into a single stereo waveform into Reason
6.5 in wav. format. Thereby giving us
back the power required to create the beat for use in vocal tracks.
How we will do this?
1: Using Acid Pro 7 Professional and our huge loop library,
I will create beats with or without the artist or writer or both. Then we will import the beat into Reason 6.5
multi-track music production software application. We will us Adobe Audition
3.0 as our mastering software application.
2: The beat will be given to a writer to write a song on a
specific subject, based on facts, opinions and freedom of speech, but always
remembering our purpose to reach out to our youth and disadvantaged young
adults.
A) Each writer will be given a timesheet to document the
hours spent writing our songs, which will be included in their in-kind
contributions record at about $21.24 per hour, which will become a tax
deduction to them and income, revenue and expenses to us.
3: We will record the songs in our studio, therefore other
than utilities, we will not incur many cost in the recording stages of this
project, thereby creating and giving us a product to later negotiate for
funding based on our progress and sound quality.
Studio Hours: 12 AM - 5 AM
Studio Location: 917
South A Avenue
I will book people work between 12 AM and 5 AM to do vocals
and we can arrange to work together during the day to make beat, but after 4
PM.
4: I will write the screenplay because I own the appropriate
software application and will welcome all the assistance I can receive as well
as input on the subjects we will explore.
5: The music burning for sales, a ReverbNation upload, I
will probably be able to front to get things started, but we have to find
funding for the film and screenplay production and/or people with the ability
to carryout these necessary tasks with minimal funds needed to be invested due
to volunteerism towards a community oriented project.
Finally, I just want to say that this program is really for
people who want to support Operation Solution and Response. Before signing any documents for us, just
because you want to be heard in a studio, please first read up on what we are
trying to do thru Operation Solution and Response and what you will become a
pioneer supporter of.
