Collaborative Samurai Filmsets

YouTube Space Tokyo is Set Up as an Asian Action Production Studio

— April 13, 2015 — Art & Design
Google Japan's YouTube Space Tokyo is a newly opened production studio for YouTubers to film and edit original videos. The collaborative space has been styled in part with film studio Toei, featuring an Asian-style set that can be modified to reflect four different time periods.

To make the productions the best they can be, the studio hosts all sorts of tutorials on everything from sword-fighting to special effects. Considering all of the equipment required in front of and behind the camera, amateur filmmakers will definitely want to take advantage of this unique studio, as YouTube Space Tokyo will only be opened for a limited time.

To reward its most active content creators, interested YouTubers must have 5,000 subscribers to quality for use of this space. The more subscribers a YouTube channel has, the more time a user is able to reserve. So far, Asahi Sasaki, Chuck Johnson and Rin Rin Doll are already at work on their films.
Trend Themes
1. Collaborative Film Production - Opportunity for businesses to create collaborative spaces that offer resources and support for independent filmmakers.
2. Specialized Tutorials - Opening for businesses to provide specialized training and tutorials for amateur filmmakers in areas such as sword-fighting and special effects.
3. Limited-time Studios - Potential for businesses to offer limited-time production studios for specific genres or themes, creating a sense of exclusivity and urgency.
Industry Implications
1. Film Production - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Establish collaborative film production studios that provide resources, training, and creative spaces for independent filmmakers.
2. Education and Training - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop specialized tutorials and training programs for amateur filmmakers to enhance their skills in areas like sword-fighting and special effects.
3. Streaming Platforms - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Partner with production studios and offer limited-time exclusive studios for creators to generate unique and high-quality content.
