The Video Media Colony | Music Videos, Episodic Shows, and Feature Films on OCME
The Video Media Colony is OCME's first and flagship content colony — a home for creators making music videos, episodic shows, and feature films using AI-generated or traditional production tools. The colony's first curated channel, AIMVS (the AI Music Video Show), hit 5.1 million views in October 2025 — a 425x increase year-over-year — proving that audiences want independent creator content when someone builds the infrastructure to deliver it.
What is the Video Media Colony?
The Video Media Colony is a content vertical within the OCME ecosystem dedicated to visual media. It operates under OCME's creator-governed framework, which means the community — not a corporate board — sets the rules for how content is programmed, how revenue flows, and how the colony grows.
Colonies in OCME are defined by their content category, not by any single curator or show. The Video Media Colony is the category. Within it, curators build individual streaming channels and shows that bring creator work to audiences. Multiple curators can operate within the colony, each building their own programming vision around the content the community creates.
What content does the colony support?
The Video Media Colony covers the full range of visual media formats with mp4 and mov:
- Music videos — AI-generated, traditionally produced, or hybrid
- Episodic shows — serialized content, recurring formats, themed programming
- Feature films — longer-form narrative and documentary work
The colony welcomes content made with any production approach. AI-generated content, traditionally produced work, and everything in between all have a place. What matters is the quality of the work and the engagement it generates — because revenue is calculated based on play time, not play count.
What is AIMVS?
AIMVS — the AI Music Video Show — is the first and currently the only curated channel operating within the Video Media Colony. It is a curated streaming experience dedicated to AI-generated and human-created music videos, programmed by curator Laura Brugioni.
AIMVS has grown at a pace that is rare for any independent media channel:
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| October 2025 views | 5.1 million |
| October 2024 views | 12,000 |
| Year-over-year growth | 425x |
| Sustained monthly viewership | ~4 million |
| Month-over-month growth rate | 65% |
This growth happened inside a non-profit ecosystem with no venture capital, no algorithmic boosting, and no platform subsidies. It is organic demand for curated creator content. AIMVS went from near-zero to millions of monthly views in under a year, showcasing 507 unique pieces from 300+ different creators in a single month. As the colony grows, additional curated channels and shows can launch alongside AIMVS — each with its own programming vision, audience, and curator team.
How do creators in the colony get paid?
Creators in the Video Media Colony earn revenue through the OCME streaming license revenue split:
| Recipient | Share |
|---|---|
| Content Creators | 60% |
| Curators | 17.5% |
| Technology Providers | 17.5% |
| OCME Operations | 5% |
Revenue is calculated based on play time, not play count — so content that holds viewer attention earns more than content people skip. Every payment is tracked through signed DID (Decentralized Identifier) documents, creating a verifiable audit trail with no black-box calculations.
Within AIMVS, a showrunner model adds an additional 10% split for programming leadership. Other shows within the colony may structure their curator compensation differently within the 17.5% curator share.
OCME is a 501(c)(6) non-profit, so there are no shareholders extracting value from creator work. The revenue split is governed by the creator community and can only change through the governance framework. For the full breakdown of how payments work, see How Creators Get Paid.
