Snapify Is Redefining The Photoshoot Experience

Snapify’s all-in-one AI-powered solution is decreasing the post-processing workflow for event photographers by as much as 90%

Snapfiy announces the launch of its community equity investment round on Wefunder. The funds raised will be used to scale the company’s product development, operations, marketing, and sales. Snapify’s first-of-its-kind, end-to-end AI solution empowers professional event photographers by cutting their post-shoot editing workflow by as much as 90%, enabling them to deliver high-quality photos to their clients much faster than current wait times, which can typically last weeks.  

Snapify’s suite of photography tools includes several components, including a small, dedicated cellular-based device that attaches to any professional camera and backs up photos to the cloud in real time, an SD card that connects the camera to the rest of the suite, an app which is used to process and manage the photos on automatically-created web galleries that can also be shared with clients, and a sophisticated AI-powered editing algorithm that applies studio-quality culling and editing in near real time. 

“I couldn’t be more excited to bring innovation to an industry that is long overdue for advancement,” said Ran Rahav, Co-founder and CEO of Snapify. “Snapify will transform the event photography experience with technology that significantly boosts efficiency both during and post-shoot, reducing excessive wait times for clients who can receive their professionally edited photos much faster, and freeing up a considerable amount of time for photographers to pursue more work opportunities or simply enjoy the more free time between jobs.” 

The global AI market is valued at over $136 billion and is expected to grow by at least 120% year-over-year. With $1.5 million already invested in their patent-pending AI technology, the response from Snapify’s users has been extremely promising. “The ability to back up, cull, edit and deliver photos to clients up to 90% faster gives event photographers a competitive edge in an era where clients demand both speed and uncompromising quality from service providers. Photographers who stick to outdated, time-consuming processes will eventually lose out to those who are embracing AI-powered tools that boost both productivity and quality simultaneously,” said Shai Zohar, founder and CTO.

Snapify’s all-in-one, end-to-end AI solution includes real-time storage, editing, and photo-sharing features that no other solution is offering, placing the company in a unique position to disrupt the $39B global photographic services industry, which is expected to be valued at $52 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 6%. 

“By the end of 2023, we expect to have around 200 paying customers, generating $1 million in revenue (ARR). Investing in Snapify today – before we experience exponential growth – presents a unique opportunity for equity crowdfunding investors to join us on our journey to redefine the future of professional event photography,” says Rahav. 

The Snapify community investment round is available on Wefunder and is open to both accredited and non-accredited investors, with a minimum investment of $250. The opportunity is available for a limited time only.

MoonLabs Studios, a decentralized indie game studio created by veterans of the games industry, is releasing its Early-Access Release for Devikins, where everyone will be able to participate in exciting PvP and PvE battles. Starting on April 19, players will be able to jump in and enjoy kitting out their adult Devikin with all manner of skills, equipment, and weapons — and from there, battle against monsters or even other players.

Devikins is an ever-expanding world with a player-first design focus that takes place in a chaotic world known as the Void. Each playable character in Devikins is a Non-Fungible Token (NFT), which means that each player is the sole owner of a wholly unique playable character in both the Devikins universe and the real world. In addition to that, players can keep their collection of characters fresh and aim for the strongest, most competitive roster possible via the breeding system.

Players can expect fun, yet challenging, turn-based combat as part of this early-access release, playing off classic JRPG mechanics with Devikins’ own, special twist. This ensures that everything fits the game’s theme on top of allowing for deep, strategic team building.

Sergio Nunes, CEO of MoonLabs Studios, explains the importance of this Early-Access release. “We want to make sure that we are delivering the best experience possible, so players can see what we’ve accomplished so far — and we can use the feedback given to us by our community to improve the game even further, helping us on the development side as we finalize the 2.0 launch.”

When players create an account, they earn themselves four Dummykin, four Replica Weapons, 16 pieces of Replica Equipment, and six Account-Bound Skills. So, ready to duke it out in the arena or story mode? Itching to let your Devikin battle its way to glory? Jump in now because it doesn’t matter what kind of player you are — current, returning or brand-new. Download the Devikins Combat Early-Access release below and start scrapping right this second.

To download the Android version, click here. For iOS, click here.

Devikins is a free-to-play mobile game, where you can collect and sell exclusive NFTs, or by attaining the cryptocurrency DVK through MoonLabs partner: Klever — an exchange, market, and wallet platform that offers a simple and intuitive interface where anyone can trade their NFTs and DVK.

For the first time ever, Ocean Alliance and their collaborators have successfully deployed suction cup data-tags on blue and fin whales in the Gulf of California using a drone (UAV). This new deployment method is detailed in an April 2023 publication in the journal Royal Society Open Science and could have significant positive implications for whale science and conservation. Deployment of Biologging Tags on Free Swimming Large Whales Using Uncrewed Aerial Systems. R. Soc. open sci. April 19, 2023 https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsos.221376

This work shows that UAVs are capable of attaching biologging tags to free-swimming large whales. This method may hold advantages for studying vulnerable or hard-to-study species by potentially reducing stress from tagging activities. The work was carried out in collaboration with researchers from Ocean Alliance, Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Sur, University of Michigan, and Syracuse University.

“The ability to use the aerial platform for tag deployment provides a huge step forward for the science. This method allows for tags to be attached to whales that might otherwise be difficult to approach with a boat and minimizes any disruption to their normal behaviors. This gives us an opportunity to better understand their behavior to aid in conservation efforts.” Dr. Susan Parks, whale acoustics expert and Biology Professor from Syracuse University

Biologging data tags are critical tools for marine mammal research. The tags are equipped with specialized sensors for recording depth, orientation, acceleration, temperature, acoustics, and even video.

In addition to reduced behavioral impact, “efficient tag deployment enables targeting of specific animals in a group or multi-animal tagging. This ability to target an individual animal and/or doubling or tripling sample size for an experiment will greatly enhance the science and our understanding of these animals.” Dr. Alex Shorter, Mechanical Engineering Professor University of Michigan.

Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary Research Ecologist Dr. David Wiley, who has used suction-cup tags to study the behavior of whales for almost 30 years, said, “A lot of time and funds have gone into improving tag design and capability, but this is the first real improvement in tag delivery!” Wiley also stated, although the use of UAVs for tag attachment is a major advancement, it, “Takes more than just the desire and a drone to make it happen. The synergy of combining our expertise and experience greatly contributed to our success.”

Filmhedge Leads 1st Atlanta Delegation to Cannes Film Festival, Marche Du Film

Filmhedge Leads 1st Atlanta Delegation to Cannes Film Festival, Marche Du Film

International trip to Cannes 2023 touts Atlanta’s entertainment fintech ecosystem and promotes the city as a world-class destination for film and television production.

Filmhedge CEO, Jon Gosier, will lead the first delegation of City officials and business leaders to the Cannes Film Festival, May 16 through May 27.

Gosier, who founded Filmhedge in 2020, understands the importance of not only attending The Cannes Film Festival but of contributing to the success of the critical financial landscape that can make or break a successful year for filmmakers.

“Filmhedge is sponsoring the Marche du Film’s International Film Finance Forum as well as a number of other events at Cannes like the Producer Forum, where many films land lucrative distribution and sales deals,” said Gosier. “These events comprise the top echelon of the entertainment industry. As a funder of films with budgets as high as $50 million, globally, Filmhedge has an important seat at the table. Atlanta has an important seat at the table. We need to celebrate that fact,” Gosier said.

On Tuesday, April 18, at The Garden Room of the Atlanta St. Regis Hotel, Filmhedge hosted Atlanta’s critical assembly of economic leaders for film and television production for the first Annual Cannes+Atl.

Cannes+Atl is an association of local investors, producers, bankers, and others who will host events in both Atlanta, GA, and Cannes, France aimed at celebrating Georgia’s contributions to the Film and TV industry.

With support from city officials, Atlanta delegates, and members of Cannes+Atl, the principals are excited to be present and meet decision-makers at the 76th Annual Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France in May.

When asked what motivated the launch of Cannes+Atl, Gosier responded, “I’ve been hosting and sponsoring events for 6 years at Cannes, the most prestigious and largest international film festival in the world.” Gosier continued, “I’m always there championing Georgia’s entertainment infrastructure, its state tax incentives, and various local creators. Recently, it dawned on me that Atlanta, and Georgia more broadly, really had no prominent ‘voice’ at the conference. Last year I sponsored an event from another State because there was no Georgia event to support. I asked myself, how is that possible? This gap inspired my team to create one. FilmHedge is happy to give back to the state of Georgia, which has become so important to the entertainment industry.”

Present at Cannes+Atl were Marsei Martin – star of ABC’s Blackish and Executive Producer at Genius Productions; Joshua Martin, President, Genius Productions; Bobby Huntley, Director; Doug Cash, Vice President HULU; Cardelia Hunter, Director of The Atlanta Mayors Office of Film & Television; Brandon Butler, Owner ButterATL; Paris ‘PK’ Kirk, PK Music Management; Melissa Proctor, CMO of The Atlanta Hawks; Kaleeta McDade, Chief Experience Officer, VLMY&r; Ryan Millsap, CEO The Blackhall Group; Jessica White, Producer, Model; Rodney Ho, Entertainment Reporter, Atlanta Journal Constitution; and others.

Ryan Millsap, CEO of The Blackhall Group, and founder of Blackhall Studios says, “The missing pieces in the Georgia Film ecosystem are money, development, and distribution; We need Georgia capital to invest in film and television imagined in Georgia, developed in Georgia, and distributed by Georgia entertainment companies. I’m thrilled to hear that Jon Gosier and Filmhedge are growing an entertainment capital company based in Georgia.” Millsap continued, “Truly, we need Georgia-based Capital making money in film and television.  Capital is integral to the long-term independence and sustainability of the entertainment industry in Georgia. Today our industry is dependent on a tax credit, but with enough capital in the space we could one day have an entertainment economy like Los Angeles that functions organically with or without a tax credit. We aren’t there today, but growing Capital companies takes us one step closer.”

Joshua Martin, President of Genuis Productions, and father of Marsai Martin of the ABC sitcom Blackish, knows how critical it is to think creatively and to take risks. “Our goal at Genius is to mine and nurture stories that might be overlooked by mainstream entertainment studios.” Continuing, Martin went on to say, “My job is to find that diamond in the rough. Filmhedge is a unique catalyst that not only diversifies funding but also breaks the money mold to diversify opportunity.”

About FilmHedge

Founded in 2020, FilmHedge is a fintech platform that provides private credit and financing solutions to qualified TV and Film producers, offering up to $10 million per Film or TV production. In addition to financing, the company uses data to track Film/TV production financial data, interest rates, and the creditworthiness of producers and production companies. In 2022 FilmHedge successfully closed on $100 million in financing to meet growing demand. For more information on FilmHedge visit: https://www.filmhedge.com

About Cannes+Atl

In its inaugural year, Cannes+Atl is a loose industry association and delegation of Financiers, Production Companies, Directors, and other local stakeholders aimed at celebrating and highlighting Georgia’s contributions to the international film community, while also attracting new business to the State.
