Description: Awesomeblast is an animated, three-dimensional, holographic show. How this is achieved is that a regular film is projected onto special transparent ”poly G screens” which means that the only thing the screens show is the image that is being projected onto it, therefore, giving the projection a holographic effect. The show has twenty, four minute acts in it. The selling point of the show is that the images are so convincingly real, that the audience will think what they are seeing on stage is the real thing. The Market There is a huge demand in the US and internationally, for action / adventure movies with plenty of profitable business to be had. In 2008 movie ticket sales reached the highest record in history, earning over 9 billion domestically and 28 billion worldwide. Financial Path to Success With the focus being on large, populated cities in the US and internationally, Awesomeblast is expected to show over a $500,000 profit from each city that the show is presented in. Right now, 31 cities have been scheduled to host Awesomeblast which will result in profits of $10,767,228.31, after all coasts and investments and sales tax, and that is just for the United States with one stage set up. Taking the show overseas could increase the profit of $16,168,976.31 (based off of a million dollar investments) times ten which would be around $161,689,763.10 per year for 6 to 7 years, which in turn, would earn close to $1,131,828,342.00 in profits. Company Summary Awesomeblast is an animated, three dimensional, holographic show that is intensely interactive with the audience. The whole point of Awesomeblast is to give the audience a thrilling adventure of a life time, it is something that not only do the see and hear but they will believe what they are seeing is real and what is happening is real, that is the unique selling point of Awesomeblast, the believability of it. The individual acts are short special effects movies filmed in a special way to enhance the three dimensional realism and holographic integrity. There are 20 different acts, that make up the show, that are four minutes long; adding ten minutes for the opening and closing brings the shows run time to ninety minutes in duration. The stage for this will be forty feet in length, height and depth. The screens we will use is a special “Poly-G-Foil” which means it is so transparent, a person does not know it is thee. There will be a screen above the audience as well. The show will be held in our Air Dome that will be under construction soon. The dome will be 160 square feet round and 50 ft tall. We will have our own generators that will power the show which will be on semi trucks. The dome can be attached to a grassy surface or a paved surface. The show is pretty much self contained.
