On the slide above MSG stands for Madison Square Garden


IM stated that a typical editing task for MSG would take on average 46 minutes without Blackbird, it now takes on average 3 minutes with Blackbird.

I will scan in a few of the more informative slides

This one shows a few of the testimonials from recent customers

Thanks timbo

IM did the bulk of the presentation with SS stepping in for the demo.

ShareSoc had had their AGM earlier on, so the meeting was well attended (I would guess around 50 - 60 investors).

Most of the questions raised here yesterday came up in some shape or form in the Q&A session, I will do a quick precis of those later on this morning but it will be brief as the whole session was recorded and should be made available through the ShareSoc web site in the next day or two, along with the slide deck.

Stephen's demo went very with no glitches, Ian had to steer him back on track a couple of times when he started getting into the minutiae (as he tends to do). I got the impression that most attendees were impressed by the product demonstration with SS highlighting the features which were unique to Blackbird although there were quite a few sceptics (long term or previous holders) in the audience, a few of whom who probably remained sceptical regarding the commercial execution.

It was unfortunate that they could not hang around until refreshments (they were number three on the running order of four) so there was no opportunity to quiz them out of the spot light, but all things considered, I came away more confident that they will achieve commercial success this time around without another fund raise.

Thanks timbo,

Give 'em hell!

[timbo003] 14/11/2018 15:47

Thanks chaps, I will see what I can do

[bonio10000] 14/11/2018 15:01

Maybe timbo can ask about everything he was told to get him to invest under Aziz's first placing and why that all turned out to be 100% BS?

[mcsean2164] 14/11/2018 13:42

With terrible sales and poor visibility (after 20 years nearly), essentially a track record in failing investors, how does fbt intend to give an ROI to new investors?

[nickb] 14/11/2018 13:06

Timbo
Q.
With Avid saying they have an OPEN to 3rd party Cloud Platform why are we absent from their market place?

(Not looking for the answer that our technology can be a part of an Avid workflow)

Timbo

Something along the lines of

With the technology now so developed and the opportunity so large What does the company feel is preventing sale contracts closing?

Thanks

FBT have been so dull since IM arrived - no news - at least we used to have Z-list celeb launches in Dubai and Melbourne! And cowboy boot Friday!

Bonio

All relevant and pertinent questions....

[bonio10000] 14/11/2018 12:36

Whilst you are there - can you also ask them to rate the failure's of EVA and Captevate on a scale of 1 to 10 in terms of cash wasted, time invested and ROI?

And also what happened to the large ecommerce deal they used as a pretext for a prior raising and whether this brings into question the BOD's competence and honesty.

Thank you again.

[bonio10000] 14/11/2018 12:32

Can you ask why they are wasting time and money presenting shortly after a fund raising that secures cash for 3 years.

Why they don't release the presentation to existing shareholders.

What information did they present and to whom during the last fundraising to secure the £5m and whether they consider this should be presented to the market and existing shareholders. In particular, I would be interested to know on what basis IM's family invested.

Given the change in strategy, staff and the poor results - why the BOD don't resign en masse.

Do the BOD think this is a job too big for them and that some people who know what they are doing should be appointed.

Thank you.

Our new Veritone Redact application enables law enforcement and traditional professionals to systematically remove selected faces and sensitive data from video evidence, significantly streamlining their video evidence redaction workflows.

Maybe that's why IM started talking about law enforcement?

Veritone seem to love their aiware, no room for blackbird though, it's forbidden. 🥁I'm here all night!🥁

[chriscallen] 13/11/2018 18:56

I seem to recall a photo of IM with senior people at Veritone last month. They have had their Q3 meeting and a transcript of what went on can be found at:

True!

So far potential large player customers have rejected our offering.

So difficult to recommend FBT to other than highly speculative investors at this time.

Needs more proof of adoption.

Totally baffled why customers are not signing up...yet.

That can change very quickly of course.

[bonio10000] 13/11/2018 18:05

If they were selling stuff - they would be posting like no tomorrow.

They aren't.

Simple.

[sickness] 13/11/2018 17:49

It doesn’t really matter what statistics they post about how big the cloud video market will be because if they can’t sell there product it’s irrelevant.

It’s just impossible to know what’s going on behind the scenes and wether they are actually selling anything with out them posting information, I’m hoping there will be some decent information to come out of tomorrow’s investor meeting, and more than likely a little sweetener RNS tomorrow or Thursday to entice new the investors to spend their money on the FBT black hole money pit of silence.

[geheimnis2] 13/11/2018 17:15

Hope all is good..

Agree, the website looks impressive and the statistics look very promising.

Without doubt FBT have (in theory) everything to be a very successful company.

Lets see if they can produce...

[mcsean2164] 13/11/2018 10:11

Have to say, possibly for the first time ever, I like the new website. Vibrant/ dynamic, maybe we're starting to move in the right direction?

[mcsean2164] 13/11/2018 10:07

Thanks Paul,

Let's hope FBT can take advantage of those stats.

The good news is that blackbird is appearing under cloud video editor on google. Mind you it is on page 2. If everyone here searches under 'cloud video editor' and selects blackbird, it should boost it up the rankings, maybe, worth a try.
