are you saying @SkyRiseLabs delivered 80+ videos for all our clients at @SolanaConf ? who is counting?
Breakpoint @SolanaConf went far beyond even our own expectations. In just four days, we produced 80+ videos across nine clients. Averaging 10 videos p/day for clients and generating seven-figure impressions across social platforms. 📸 When I said we were about to kill the game, I truly meant it ⚔️ Bear with me as I break down the work we delivered and how each client required a unique communication approach, narrative, and set of goals: Solflare 🪄 From our very first conversations with Solflare, one thing was crystal clear: we were setting a new benchmark for social content during the Abu Dhabi days. The ambition was big: spotlighting major product updates and launches, capturing the strength of the community, and translating the sheer scale of Solflare’s brand presence at Breakpoint into content that could travel globally. Through multiple preparation and alignment calls, we carefully planned, brainstormed, and broke down every detail to ensure nothing would be missed. The result was 15 high-impact videos delivered in just 4 days, with most of these being delivered on a 4h average . A massive shoutout to the Solflare team for trusting us to support what became their biggest and boldest Breakpoint presence to date. The feedback said it all “You guys really have delivered exceptional work and I’m proud to call you new partners. This is just the beginning. You really captured our energy, it was really special.” – Maurice “Absolute pleasure working with you!” – leClop "Skyrise always delivers with utmost skill, creativity and professionalism. I would recommend the team over and over." - Dev Check out their after movie and some of their after stage videos: xitter.cf/solflare/status/200131… xitter.cf/solflare/status/200056… Superteam Canada 🇨🇦 Have I ever mentioned how much I appreciate my Canadian friends? Together with our good friends Simon, Ben, Fib and the broader Superteam Canada community, we set an ambitious goal: make it impossible to ignore just how strong and present the Canadian ecosystem was at the conference. We focused on capturing that collective energy, ambition, and momentum, ensuring it translated beyond the venue and onto the global stage. Across 9 videos, we showcased the scale of the Canadian presence and their determination to leave a lasting mark on Breakpoint. Check their after movie and how Canadians took over - xitter.cf/SuperteamCAN/status/20… Kamino 🪙 Continuing a collaboration we’ve built over time, Kamino once again partnered with us to create a new series of product updates through 6 different videos, featuring Marius on camera. This time, the message was especially clear: Kamino is here to stay, and it is raising the bar for what DeFi products should look and feel like. The content focused on confidence, clarity, and long-term vision within the ecosystem. MonkeDAO 🐒 After capturing the full Solstice experience in New York earlier this year, we reunited with MonkeDao in Abu Dhabi. As a team with a strong presence in the MonkeDAO ecosystem and many SKYRISE members actively involved in the community, this collaboration felt especially close to home. From multiple events and community moments to the Monke Hotel and the Dunes, the goal was to translate the unmistakable energy of the Monke community into video. Across four dedicated videos, we made sure that spirit, chaos, and culture were fully preserved on camera. As Jemmy said: “Thank you team! The whole breakpoint has been amazing. It’s been only great great great experiences through it all. So grateful to have y’all and João” Here's some what we made for our friends at MonkeDAO: xitter.cf/MonkeDAO/status/199976… Pilled 🏋️ Breakpoint introduced a brand-new space this year: Leg Day, and Pilled owned it. Together, we captured a series of activations inside and outside the arena, from workouts and stretches to outdoor walks and yoga sessions, featuring the teams from Cudis, Moonwalk, Offline, SpineDAO, PumpScience and One of Us. The content highlighted a different side of the conference: people stepping away from talks and screens to move, reset, and connect through movement. Across 10 videos, we documented the energy, spontaneity, and community-driven spirit that made Leg Day one of Breakpoint’s most refreshing spaces. Here's how we brought Leg Day to life: xitter.cf/PilledFit/status/19997… Bonk 🐶 Maldo has been a friend of the SKYRISE crew for a while, and reached out to get support in showcasing every activation Bonk brought to Breakpoint — from the flash mob and fashion show to their insane spinning wheel and even the basketball court. We captured it all from day zero through the entire conference, highlighting the energy of the community and the impeccably crafted merch Bonk delivered on-site. "This is without a doubt the most beautiful video you’ve ever made for Bonk! simply amazing! 🤩 I really want to thank you for the incredible work you’ve done. You can clearly see how much effort and dedication you put into this BP, and not only did you maintain the quality of your content… in my opinion, you actually raised it! 🔥" - Maldo SagaDAO 🪩 SagaDAO reached out to us through CloudKing, a long-time friend we’ve connected with across multiple events. The objective was clear: capture the unique energy created by bringing multiple creators together under one roof in Abu Dhabi, while also documenting their presence at Breakpoint. Across the days, we focused on both individual creator stories and the collective dynamic of the house, highlighting spontaneous, light-hearted, and memorable moments that defined the experience. In total, 16 videos were produced, translating the atmosphere into authentic, narrative-driven content. Here's a bit of the backstage at SagaDAO house: xitter.cf/SagaMobileDAO/status/1… Flashtrade 🌟 Flash talked to us, looking to ensure their Breakpoint presence was properly captured, and we could not let them down. Working closely with Anas and the team, we documented their journey throughout the event, from main-stage moments to the yacht, delivering content that reflected both their brand and their presence across key moments of the conference. SKYRISE — Our Own Content Beyond walking the venue, meeting friends, and networking, we wanted to bring back something distinctly ours. This was not about generic BTS. It was about capturing the raw, irreverent energy the Solana community has always shared with us, mixed with our own perspective as builders and experimenters. We managed to produce 20+ videos for our own channels, with more edits still in the pipeline. Content that shows not just what Breakpoint looked like, but what it really felt like from the inside. Check some our own content at @SkyRiseLabs or even at our ig instagram.com/skyriselabs/ On a final note, speaking personally, I’m incredibly happy with the team’s performance. Everyone was flexible, proactive, and supportive of one another, which made my role and Xico's in managing and directing far easier than I ever expected, even if it meant running on just four hours of sleep a night. Thank you so much for everyone who has been sharing love and support to us. We are not stopping here, at all. Stay tunned! 🫶

🚨BREAKING: Both @Solana co-founders call for dropping the “beta” label after Alpenglow goes live. @rajgokal says, “Kill the word ‘beta’ with fire.” @toly asks to “remove the beta tag in the explorer.”
