CenterStage MicroChannel Guidelines
and Terms and Conditions
Effective Date: 04.21.08
Welcome to CenterStage - The World’s First Internet TV Database
CenterStage is comprised of three components: (1) Talent MicroChannels, (2) a searchable CenterStage Database and, (3) the CenterStage Network/Channels.
Our Talent MicroChannels provide you with an immediate opportunity to create your own personal MicroChannel within CenterStage on KoldCast TV. Here you can upload your own videos, photos and career information. Check it out now: http://centerstage.koldcast.tv/
The collective of CenterStage Talent MicroChannels form the CenterStage Database that is open to all KoldCast TV Viewers who are interested in being entertained by YOU, and, it is also open to viewing by the entire entertainment industry! This means that casting directors, producers and anyone looking for talent can use the CenterStage Database to find the people they are looking for.
Get Featured. Videos you upload into your Talent MicroChannel are reviewed by a KoldCast TV team of entertainment miners looking for truly entertaining videos that show your talents well. If selected, your video will be featured on the CenterStage Network, which is found in the main Channel Guide on KoldCast TV. http://www.KoldCast.tv
CenterStage Guidelines
These Guidelines and Terms and Conditions provide you with all the details needed to establish your personal Talent MicroChannel on CenterStage.
There are two types of MicroChannels �” CenterStage and SpotLight
At this time, the feature set of each is quite similar. Within a CenterStage MicroChannel, among other features, you may upload up to eight (8) still photos and up to three (3) videos. Within a SpotLight MicroChannel, you may upload an unlimited number of photos and up to twelve (12) videos. There is no charge to you to create a CenterStage or SpotLight MicroChannel.
There are two primary benefits to a Spotlight MicroChannel vs. a CenterStage MicroChannel. (1) SpotLight MicroChannels are featured on a random, rotating basis at the top of select KoldCast CenterStage site pages, giving them a higher profile than a CenterStage MicroChannel. Additionally, SpotLight artists are independently accessible to Viewers via a SpotLight Featured link found at the top of CenterStage site pages. (2) Highly-rated and professionally produced videos within Spotlight MicroChannels, and any videos that we think will be of substantial interest to KoldCast Viewers, are selected from time to time and featured in the CenterStage Network found on our main Channel Guide. http://www.KoldCast.tv This can be a very substantial benefit.
To maximize our Viewer’s experience, we recommend the following when building your MicroChannel:
Prohibited Content
You MAY NOT upload photos or videos that contain hateful imagery, explicit sexual conduct or acts of extreme violence.
Photo Uploads
The first photo you upload to your MicroChannel is your default photo. It will appear in Search results and featured listings. Your default photo MAY NOT include nudity. You must upload at least one photo to your Talent MicroChannel or we may delete your MicroChannel.
NOTE: For best results, we recommend uploading Hi-Res Digital Photos. If you are using photos from a digital camera, please upload the original size. Please make sure all photos are under 400k. A professional headshot is preferred for your default photo and, please be sure to fill in the appropriate titles and descriptions.
Video Uploads
Your video uploads may not be longer than five (5) minutes in length. The quality of your video content, expressed in terms of production quality and resolution, is very important. The better your imagery, the higher the likelihood that Viewers will continually return to your MicroChannel, tell their friends about you, and industry professionals will be much more likely to discover you. Adding new photos and videos on a recurring basis will also make your MicroChannel more attractive to Viewers. Again, don’t forget to give your videos a title and description!
NOTE: We support the following video formats: .mpg, .avi, and .mov. Codec’s supported are: MPEG1 and MPEG2, uncompressed AVI, XviD, DivX, and WMV. Maximum File Size for a single video: 50MB. Maximum Video Length: 5 minutes.
Information fields, such as Talent Bio, Interests, etc., in which you elect not to enter data, will appear as empty blank fields in your MicroChannel. To make your Talent MicroChannel more interesting and valuable, we recommend that you complete every field. HTML code is not permitted at this time. A completed Talent Bio is required or we may delete your MicroChannel.
It is your responsibility not to upload any images, still or video, which you do not personally own all rights to or have permission to upload from the legal rights holder. Be sure to consider music rights when making these decisions.
Terms and Conditions
KoldCast EMV, LLC makes CenterStage MicroChannels available to you without obligation. We maintain the unilateral right to remove any material that is in violation of our stated Guidelines at any time without contacting you. You must own ALL rights to the imagery you upload to CenterStage MicroChannels.
