Some of you may know me, but many of you don’t. I’m Charlize, one of the Account Managers at BlackWaterOps. I am contacting you because we have a HUGE discount on services this week, because a client canceled a project, and so we have people who if I don’t find work for will get paid to sit around and play Xbox for the week.
Here is the deal, we have reduced the price of our services as much as 75%. But you have to make payment on the services by the end of the month. We have 250 hours of services to sell, they are first come first serve. And “First” is determined by money paid, not calling dibs. You don’t have to use the services this month but they do have to be used by the 3rd week of Q2.
Brandon has authorized that if you want more hours than 50 hours, regardless of if we still have those hours, you can purchase those at the pricing below. If you are looking at purchasing more than 1000 hours you can have those at 10% off of this pricing.
In the past when we have had these, “Client Paid Us With Rubber” sales the hours have gone fast, so if you are interested contact me by email, or call us 866-400-4536 right away.
Note to Resellers: These hours are available for resale but cannot be applied to your already purchased quota’s only to your overages.

BlackWaterOps is very proud of its latest improvements to the Xdef 3D Upconversion technology. We have made improvements that reduce visual artifacts, eye strain, and headaches, while increasing the apparent depth, and detail of depth in the scene.
Often 3D conversions result in people looking like cardboard cut outs moving about the scene. Others use light and dark to determine shading giving people a Swiss cheese look if they are wearing polka dots. Our algorithm has neither of these issues, and is fully compatible with manual adjustments, for scenes with false backgrounds or other 2D film techniques that aren’t compatible with motion based depth detection.
Our solution doesn’t use Depth Maps, which allows us to handle smoke, dust, water, and other semi-transparent objects that are distorted in Depth Map Conversions.
Check our YouTube Channel for demonstrations of this latest version for the technology.
Though a merciless ball of spunk, Ivy is cleverly disguised as a sweet little geek. But really she’s the one cracking the whip and keeping us at the grind stone. And then keeping us sane with mandated down time. She’s a gal of many hats with random talents and a knack for things green and earthy.
Ivy manages the day to day operations of BlackWaterOps, and makes sure the staff remembers to do other things aside from work like eat, bathe, and get some fresh air from time to time. She also organizes like a wiz, arranges, schedules, and serves as Brandon’s personal Mary Poppins, sans the umbrella.
Instead of looking at a Klout score which judges you mostly on how many people are on your follower list, take a look at how many people actually interact with a social media personality. The MakeMeANinja Tool does just that. While it is in early Alpha, and is ugly as sin, we are letting you try it now, so that we can find the limits of this tool.
You can get a tweet about any user, that tells you their level of influence and interaction with their followers. It will look something like this.
We may hit API Limits if too many people use this, but we have filed to be put on the whitelist for twitter, and once we have that we will expand the features and round out this product.
Why is this better than a Klout score?
Klout does most of its judging based on your potential to reach, not your actual reach. Klout looks at how many people follow you, and how many people see your tweets because they subscribe to a list you are on. This is very easy to game, and doesn’t filter out the bots.
The MakeMeANinja Tool currently looks at 2 metrics, how many unique people in a month respond to your messaging, or “invoke” your name, which we call an interaction, and how many interactions you have for every 1000 users you have.
This puts celebrities often at a disadvantage in our system if they don’t actually interact with their fan base. You can have over a million followers but if you don’t do anything interesting to get interactions, you will have a very low score. This also works to filter out the users who bought followers, because autofollow bots, and spam bots that drive up following numbers don’t respond or create interaction.
Currently the data isn’t old enough to be 100% accurate… We give “instant” feed back that is based on the last 30 days, not the last quarter or year. As we get more API calls we will strive to improve this.

BlackWaterOps is proud to announce it’s A/B Test solution, based on the blazing fast Google AppEngine infrastructure. The problem with most A/B Test solutions are that they are difficult to implement and add significant slow down to your site, which can skew the results.

Integration with Google Analytics, and other Analytics solutions allows auditing and tracking to be simple, and doesn’t require your team to learn a new software.
Lastly, unlike many competing products “This or That” is compatible with Secure sites running HTTPS.

When you are writing a post it is important to not only write for SEO, but to answer the questions your audience is looking for. Sometimes it can be hard to know what things are important to your audience, but we can help.
The BlackWaterOps SEO Writer Tool will not only analyze the text of your post so you can make sure that you have text that follows the core rules of SEO writing, in terms of keyword frequency, sentence length, and relevant supporting keywords, but it will tell you what you need to do to improve your text, and what potential words you should include in your post to help answer common searches.
For example, let’s say you wanted to write about “Pirates vs Ninjas” You’d enter “Pirates vs Ninjas” in the Keyword Phrase box, and your text in the box below.
Press the “SEO Post” button and you will get information about how well your post is written for SEO.
In addition to your SEO score you will get a list of keywords which you might include in your post, and a list of words which you already have included.
Not all of these will always be relevant to what you want to write about, but they are things related to the topic that people are searching. You can use this information several ways. If you already have written a post and are looking for a follow up, use the tool to find additional topics to write about. If you are writing a post you may find that the most common searches contain things you didn’t think would be important, like “dodgeball” in the Pirates vs Ninjas example.

BlackWaterOps provides high quality stereoscopic dimensionalizations ( 3D Upconversions ) from SD, HD, 2K and 4k. Whether your content is destined for DVD, Broadcast, Blu-Ray, or Digital Cinema we can make your content shine. Commercials, Trailers, Television, and Movies: We bring your content to the next dimension. We can also match the 3D effects of your movie shot in 3D for the scenes which are too expensive to shoot in 3D, or were shot prior to the decision to shoot in 3D was made. In a world of 3D if your content is 2D it will fall flat.
Unlike other dimensionalization techniques which use motion vector analysis and attempt to map an image on to a polygonal interpretation of the image, 3D Upconversions uses a sophisticated psycho-visual model, to give viewers the cues needed to activate the brain in to interpreting the image with the illusion of depth. This technique doesn’t rely on complex polygon or motion-vector calculations it works for soft focus, haze, reflections, lens flare, and semi-transparent objects.
Full Length Cinema and Feature Film:
More and more filmgoers are coming to expect movies in 3D. Converting your content to 3D before it hits the theater can add millions to the bottom line of your film.
Single Scene and Shot by Shot: 3D rigs have limitations because of their size, their cost and types of lenses which can be used. Doing single scene and shot by shot dimensionalization can allow for a cinematographer to achieve the look they want without the hindrance of the technological limits, in a process similar to a colorist color matching content shot from multiple cameras.
Digital Dailies: Rendering special effects for stereo takes twice as long, and when doing digital dailies every second counts. Leveraging 3D Upconversions the time and cost of doing pre-visualization, and special effects dailies can be reduced significantly.
Television and Broadcast:
With the high adoption rates of 3D enabled TV’s there is an immense amount of pent up demand for 3D content. Conversion of Television Series to 3D brings new life to content. Much like HD revitalized content many consumers had forgotten about, 3D can make content compelling again.
Sports Events: Some content just demands to be 3D for the level of immersion it gains, baseball games that feel like you are in the bleachers, or Cart racing that feels like you are riding shotgun. Content which might otherwise be forgotten can find new life for the amazing shots and experience it brings to the audience more than its historical value.
Television Series: 3D brings actors out of the screen and into your living room, and that makes drama more dramatic, and comedy just that much more funny.
Commercials, Trailers, and PSA’s: If the audience is sitting in a movie theater with their glasses on, and you show them a 2D trailer, it just looks flat. Even the best ad from the Super Bowl doesn’t have the impact that it could if it runs 30 seconds before the next 3D blockbuster.
Digital Cinema Conversions: Leveraging your existing assets from TV we create 3D Conversions from High Quality conversion from SD, or Broadcast Quality HD to Digital Cinema Resolutions in 3D.
3D Broadcast Conversions: As ESPN and others start to broadcast in 3D having a high quality 3D version of your content will become more important. Running a 2D ad on a 3D channel is like running a black and white ad on a color channel, or a 4:3 ad on a 16:9 channel.
