Introduce your channel to new nature-loving viewers
while letting more people experience the places you go like they're there

Pangea is a feedback collection app for outdoors and nature-loving companies that has changed surveys into immersive video walks to surprise views.

We're seeking point-of-view videos filmed by Youtube creators to feature in surveys, and in exchange are offering a paid opportunity that will allow more people to find your channel so it can grow.

The Power of Adventure and Curiosity

You know that feeling when you're on a trail and you see a great view peaking through the trees up ahead?

This feeling of wanting to see what's around the corner
is what we flow with to make something fun that we've all wanted to avoid up until now:

Surveys.

We feature walking videos like this:

After opening a survey link, people choose the environment they want to explore

And are then transported somewhere in nature as your video plays.

After answering each question, they get to see more of what's ahead

Until they arrive at a surprise viewpoint.


Here, they see your Youtube channel name and profile pic, one of your videos playing, and can click to visit your channel.

Now, people actually want to do surveys,

companies get the insights that can make a massive impact,

and you can reach viewers who'd love your content.

Why


We want to help people explore our amazing planet and connect with nature

while solving the big, practical problem of surveys so we can connect with and learn from each other.


We want to express our gratitude for your help in this by offering a way to support you as you also share special places with people,

inspiring the spirit of adventure and a love for nature.

The Opportunity

Our Offer to Youtube Creators

Submit a video you've filmed from your eye-view while walking to a great viewpoint; no editing or complicated technique required. If it's selected to be used for surveys, you'll be invited to sign a Content Agreement License that allows us to include your video. You'll then receive:

$100 (USD) payment up-front

Spotlight Promotion of Your Youtube Channel + Links for Direct Traffic

In addition to seeing your channel name during surveys using your video, at the end viewers will see:

  • Your channel name and profile picture

  • A video clip of your creative work playing (could be one you've posted on Youtube or a channel trailer compilation)

  • Direct links to your channel so they can subscribe and watch


Note: Promotional exposure will occur once we've onboarded companies and they begin sending out surveys. We are currently pre-launch.

The showcase screen of the app's first version looks like this:

This gives you a chance to have the focused attention of potential subscribers and make a direct link to your channel available to them.

These viewers are customers of outdoors and nature-loving brands, making them an aligned match for your content.

Our Guarantee to You:

  • You can feel confident in how you're represented:

    We understand it may feel uncomfortable to allow editing of your footage, even if were stating it will seek to be undetectable. To support your confidence in how you’re represented, your video will be sent back to you for your review and approval before being featured. This is something we want to offer right now even though were not contractually obligated to do so, and may change in future once we're able to provide reference examples of edited videos for creators to see.


    We require unedited submissions and editing permission so that we can ensure a consistent, optimized viewing experience while saving you the trouble of editing requests. We seek to apply editing undetectably and only when necessary, keeping things as they'd be seen outside.


  • You own every video you send to us, you just give us permission to feature it.


  • If you'd like to revoke the license, we will work with you on that: Even though you've granted us a permanent content license, we can discuss setting up a separate agreement to end the license.


  • You won't run into any copyright issues even if your videos are published on Youtube and/or other places because you maintain ownership and we don't ask for exclusive use.


Questions You Might Have

Can I let other creators know about this opportunity?

Yes, please feel welcome to!

How will you handle my footage and why can't I edit it?


We want survey viewers to experience the nature they’re seeing in a way that’s as close as possible to real life. To achieve this, we ask for raw footage that hasn’t been edited apart from clip compilation if needed (see the filming guidelines below the FAQ section). If necessary, we will apply minor edits to adjust lighting, stabilization, audio or other aspects for an optimized viewer experience, while seeking to keep all editing undetectable and natural. This approach allows us to provide a uniform, consistent viewing experience within the app, simplifies the submission process for you, and prevents the need for repeated editing requests. We want you to feel confident and comfortable with how we present the videos you film for survey use, so we will reach out and share the footage with you for your approval before featuring it. This may change in future once we can provide edited videos for creator reference. To showcase your unique work and editing style as you share on your channel, we’ll feature a playing video of your choice at the end of each survey that uses your footage.

How much promotional exposure can I expect right now?

We haven’t launched yet, but once we begin first user testing and then as we onboard nature-loving brand customers, your channel will be promoted. We want to be transparent that exposure will be limited at first and will increase in future. The companies we will be serving typically send a high volume of surveys, so as we grow, audience reach could be significant.

What are the terms of the Content Agreement License that I would sign?

If we’re interested in featuring your video, we’ll send a Content Licene Agreement for your review. It gives Pangea permission to use your content and outlines permitted uses and conditions. In short: You keep ownership of your video. You grant Pangea a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual license to use the video within its platform, products, and related promotional usesThe license does not expire and is irrevocable. (If you wish to revoke the license, a seperate termination agreement may be discussed. This is not included in the agreement but could be set up) We may edit or adapt the video as needed. You’ll receive the agreed-upon license fee once the agreement is signed. You’ll be credited by name wherever your video appears. Full legal details and responsibilities are included in the agreement. More details are available in the submission form for your review.

Will using a video I've published to Youtube cause copyright Content ID issues?

No —granting us permission to feature the same content you've shared on Youtube will not cause any copyright or Content ID problems since you keep full ownership and copyright of your video at all times. The license you grant Pangea is non-exclusive, meaning you can continue using, posting, and monetizing your video anywhere you like, including on YouTube. The only requirement is that any music, logos, or third-party content in your video must already be cleared on your end, since you remain the copyright holder.

So I submit a walking video and if it's accepted, I can also provide you with a video showcasing my creative work to be displayed at the end of surveys?

Yes— the first is a raw video you film while walking down a trail, which won't allow you to showcase your creative work and the editing style that sets you apart as a content creator. However, at the end of surveys using your video, viewers will see a video playing in their bottom right screen that gives a sample of what they’d find on your channel. This could be a channel trailer compilation or a portion of a Youtube video you've published. This video is seperate from the content licensed within the Content License Agreement and is never edited or modified. You are welcome to submit as many point-of-view videos as you want, and we'll reach out to you upon submission to let you know if we'd like to feature any.

Filming Guidelines

Here's an overview of the technical and content requirements for submitted footage. You'll also be able to review these during the submission process:


Footage Purpose

Videos used in Pangea surveys take viewers on walks through forest, mountain, or tropical environments to a beautiful final viewpoint. The goal is to make viewers feel as if they’re walking the trail themselves. We want this to be easy to film and submit.


Technical Guidelines

Camera: DSLR or mirrorless preferred, however high-performing smartphones accepted (approved models include iPhone 13 Pro or newer; Google Pixel 7 or newer; Samsung Galaxy S22 / S23 / S24 series)


Lens: Standard or moderate wide-angle (~24–50mm)


Orientation: Landscape (16:9)


Resolution: Minimum 1080p (Full HD)


Frame Rate: 24–30 fps


Camera Position: Close to eye level, centered on direction of travel


Stabilization: Walking at a natural pace; Slight bobbing welcome for natural walking effect. Gimbal use optional


Lighting: Natural daylight


Length: 2–30 minutes


File Format: .MP4 or .MOV


Raw footage only (video and audio unedited; we will add any required accreditation, such as your channel name)



Content Guidelines for Environment Categories

The following notes are meant to clarify what we’re looking for in each environment category and how to best support final-view anticipation and immersion.


Forest: There are so many types of beautiful end views you could bring viewers to here (ie. a waterfall, river, beach, a view from some elevation); just ensure the walk to the final view is through a forested area.


Mountains: Forested sections throughout the journey are welcome, it just requires a final mountain viewpoint.


Tropical: Reserve open beach views or other beautiful views for the final viewpoint in order to build anticipation.


Avoid frequently twisting trails for visual comfort



Additional Filming Guidelines

Final View:

  • Film the final view from a standstill

  • A slow pan is accepted to capture great views, keep minimal

  • End by filming in a single direction for at least 10 seconds (This footage will be subtly looped at the end of the survey, so longer shots are not necessary, although they're welcome)
    In short: arrive and stop, film the view, and you’re done.

  • Occasional people appearing in the footage is fine; please avoid people in the final view


Submission Formats

You’re welcome to submit footage in either format:

  • One Take: Film from start to final view in one take

  • Clip Compilation: A cohesive sequence of your favorite segments from a longer walk


Audio Guidelines

  • Submit video with original, unedited audio

  • Don’t let audio quality prevent submission — we’ll do our best to make it work!

  • Audio may be edited to enhance quality or reduce disruptive sounds, such as high wind, or very heavy footsteps or breathing (we don’t blame you— you could be hiking some serious terrain!). All editing seeks to preserve the originally captured audio and an authentic, environmentally-aligned listening experience.


Tips for cleaner audio:

  • Wind mufflers

  • Shotgun microphones

  • Wireless lav mics

The offer in a nutshell:

Next time your heading somewhere beautiful, film while you walk to a great view and submit the raw video.

If accepted, we'll pay you $100 after the Content License Agreement is signed

and invite survey respondents to checkout your channel once we launch.


We can't provide guaranteed viewer counts and when they will occur at this time, but we can say that we want to create something of real value for you and your aligned work, and can begin by offering $100 per accepted video. As an early contributor, you're also able to secure this free promotional opportunity even if it changes later as we grow.

We'd love to feature the kind of footage you're able to film for people to see and we hope to receive a submission from you!
This can be the start of something really exciting.
