Our Team

As a top 40 recording artist I knew smart devices were going to be powerful supercomputing television cameras. This inspired me to think about fellow content creators who were going to need tools to collaborate--I wanted to remove tedious tasks like lighting and post-production Chroma key--so amateurs can enter the professional market unhindered.

DropKey® Pop-up Studios: All-in-One Movie Studio for Creators! Make Professional Quality Content with Great Lighting, Special Effects and a Chromakey Ecosystem 💫


DropKey® is a Software-as-a-Service company monetizing our Edison Award-winning Pop-up Studio™ in a Bag® technology with accompanying software ecosystem. We help amateurs create professional background replacement videos anywhere to promote their products and businesses for a fraction of the cost.

The Problem

When it comes to shooting professional video with great lighting & crisp green-screen background replacement, only the pros with big budgets do it well. Post-production editing can be extremely expensive, time-consuming and messy. Our studios are safe for the whole family – no more tripping over wires or setting up breakable glass lights the dog can knock over!

The Solution

The big "Hollywood Secret” called live background replacement or “Chroma key” processing is now available to every kid with an iPhone. Now the TikTok generation is using DropKey technology to make professional quality videos . We help amateurs do what only the pros with big budgets could do…until now.

DropKey—the  Be Anywhere app!

Our Pop-up Studios automatically pair with the DropKey app to give you your own Hollywood Movie Studio, anywhere, anytime. Our studio is so easy to use, it blows up in one minute and you’re shooting in 10!

DropKey uses Artificial Intelligence to perfect "imperfections" in the key that often occurs when light bounces off blonde hair, etc.

The DropKey app is a camera app just like Instagram or Snapchat - but also performs Chroma key background replacement and wireless lighting control right from the camera screen.. You can take regular videos -- but you can also shoot live chroma key when it finds a Pop-up Studio in your WI-FI. The controller box also acts as a router if you are not near Wi-Fi. The DropKey app has already been approved on iTunes and we are migrating to Android to be available on both operating systems once we start shipping.

The inflatable Pop-up Studio Classic is 9′ Wide x 7′-4″ High x 5′ Deep – and can fit in any standard room with 8′ ceilings and a 6″ drop-down ceiling lamp. Check out the tutorial below to see the setup.

Our Progress

A few more milestones:

- We were also named Best SaaS Startup in Los Angeles and featured in "This Week In Consumer Electronics".

- DropKey was granted a utility patent for it’s mobile software and recently received news the USPTO granted patents for our entire line of products, including the robotic CamBot, DeskBot and the inflatable lighting structure.

- Developed our MediaBook.tv store for location-based video clips used as “background locations”.

- We had a successful Kickstarter campaign and raised $250k with 800+ orders and have MRR with zero ad spend.

- Currently accepting pre-orders.

How We Make Money

We will create or serve 20+ vertical market segments. The most significant innovation is the SaaS “DropKey Ads Creator” which will disrupt the ad agency business, a game-changer for small and large business ad creation for TV or social media. Our white-label camera application licensing business will be robust once a few thousand studios are sold; revenues will come from InApp subscriptions, hardware sales, ancillary eCommerce store items such as wireless lapel mics and replacement parts.

The SaaS DropKey Ads Creator

We plan to launch our Software-as-a-Service subscription model to create professional ads for a fraction of the cost of hiring a production team. Our production workflow and virtual assistant software helps you shoot professional ads in five easy steps, helping you shoot professional commercials to promote your brand, products or business, without hiring an ad agency for tens of thousands of dollars. Our SAAS offering will become available when we start shipping in Q1 2022.

The MediaBook® Ecosystem:

We discovered a huge, brand new market for foreground and background video clips called "digital video assets", or green-screen backgrounds. The total addressable market was so big we developed a global network of libraries on MediaBook.tv, our aggregated video clip store for all your digital video asset needs.

Competitive Landscape

FINANCIALS

IMPORTANT NOTICE: DropKey has over $300k in pre-sales but we can't book this as actual revenue until we ship our Pop-up Studios in Q1-2022. We're required to change from cash to accrual accounting according to GAAP in compliance with the SEC. We received a significant cash infusion that will ensure we ship all Pop-up Studios and now require additional funding to handle a huge increase in demand for our SaaS.
