Good morning.  Epix is about to take the stage at this the last day of Streaming Media West.  Watch the keynote live at:  www.livestream.com/streamingmedialive/beta. Presentations this weekend at streamingmedia.com/west.  We’ll be posting the remarks here along with a summary of what was said this week by other content distributors and producers:

Emil Rensing, Epix
Epix is a joint venture of Paramount/Lionsgate/MGM that launched three week ago as a FiOS Pay TV cable channel that for $10/month makes its content available to subscribers on any platform :  on TV, on demand, and online.  Epix owns the multiplatform rights for all their titles in the PayTV window of 9-10 months after theatrical release for at least 2y and doesn’t have restrictions on their content like legacy cable providers who signed deals 10 years ago and now have to renegotiate rights for TV Everywhere.   Currently offering 180 first run blockbuster movies and classics, Epix seeks to grow it’s library to 3,000 titles as well as offer outstanding original and event-based programming similar to the HBO, Starz, Showtime model.  Programming like Madonna and Kings of Leon concerts, Sam Shepard’s  Tough Trade and Charlize Theron’s Atlas Shrugged.  Seeking to become home to original storytellers….original programming builds brand for the network.  In terms of the size of the Epix acquisition budget, having just launched they are small now 62 staff, a third focused on digital, wondering whether sponsored star-studded sitcoms like Easy to Assemble and Justine Bateman’s FM78.tv then become an attractive option. Emil Rensing, founder of Next New Networks, shares space with Boxee in New York, is a digital guy agnostic about formats, hoping to see Epix on that toaster we’ve been talking about.  A media business, Epix is proud of its technology partners who provide a seamless playback experience: Akamai, Adobe, ClipSync. Amazing friending feature allows you to invite up to four friends to sit in a virtual screening room, watch the movie together, and chat via pop up speech bubbles.  The friends do not need to be an Epix subscriber. You can check out Epix this weekend.  Three day passes are available at www.epixhd.com/invite.   Watch Iron Man, Cloverfield, Curious Case of Benjamin Button, all four Indie Jones movies, even Scorsese’s Mick Jagger doc, Shine a Light.  Epix will be the first to run the Star Trek movie in the new year, so stay tuned.

Anthony Soohoo, CBS
CBS distribution strategy online, on mobile, in the connected home has been open, non-exclusive hyperdistribution to AOL, Yahoo!, Google, MSN. CBS.com watch full shows. TV.com nexgen navigation with integrated TiVo functionality and online personalized guide watchlists for the 20mm users of TV.com (2mm iPhone app downloads).  TV shows now, movies in the pipeline.  CBS Web Originals believes there are different ways to tell stories in terms of byte size text format, take about 3-4 different shows on a quarterly basis, on a project finance basis, find a sponsor working with the creators, then distribute across CBS properties and CBS Audience Network, bring expertise on sales side, largest video sales force out there, CBS Interactive is the 4th largest video player in the world, reach on a monthly basis 120mm.  Offer content creators sales and distribution piece mixed up with the TheInsider.com, TV.com, Chow.com, CBS.com.  300 syndicated partners.  A combination of having limited resources and it being early stage for the connected devices, focusing more on mobile right now.  TV Everywhere great for consumer, but only 52% of broadcast nets making content available, 10% cable nets, no economic model/measurement.
(per Commonwealth Club SmarterTV remarks)

Tom Gorke, MTV
Tasked with monetizing content off owned and operated 300 websites worldwide, goal is multiplatform, to stay close to consumer, drive awareness and traffic.  MTV is the largest provider of content to Xbox and iTunes.  The biggest driver of paid download to own is the need for portability, take it with you on the flight.  The need to aggregate a library of content has matured.  Done well on Hulu, Fancast, Atom, GameTrailers, DailyMotion, Veoh.  MTV is all about automation, too much content, it wouldn’t scale if had to customize, even putting a flag in a feed is tough.  Have close relationship with syndication partners, provide exclusive one off promotional content, lots of assets, art work, graphics.  Syndication partners care most about reliability and regularity of delivery, and standards of quality of content.  FB pulls a lot of content from MTV.  Really saw the power of Twitter during the VMAs with Kanye West.  MTV integrates Twitter into sites, audience of engaged folks.  Leading provider of mobile content, sold over 1mm of the 16 iPhone apps, VCast.  Live streaming tentpoles like Kids Choice Awards, VMAs. Live streaming is completely different technology (Ustream, Justin.TV, Kyte, Livestream).  When Ashton Kutcher did his Fantasy Football Show on Ustream viewership went from 100,000 to 1mm viewers, it had a watercoolers effect and was played everywhere all at once.  For the experiment, bought ad unit and inserted Ustream player – was expensive.

Vanessa Pappas, Next New Networks
500mm streams online in 3 years, 30mm views/month, believe in super-syndication concept, be where the audience is.  Yahoo! has been great for family entertainment, long form does well on iTunes.  TubeMogul is integrated in content management system but do a manual refresh to optimize sites that perform for you.  Recently hired category manager from YouTube.  Know your syndicated partner’s audience.  On Twitter you can’t just post and pray, need to have dialogue with engaged community.  Share office with Boxee, getting on Boxee, Roku..
(per SMW remarks)

Brett Wislon, TubeMogul
Free supersyndication service to Blip.tv, Break, Brightcove, DailyMotion, eBaum’s World, Facebook, Graspr, Grind TV, Howcast, i2TV, Imeem, Metacafe, MSN Video, Myspace, Revver, Sclipo, Sevenload, Streetfire, Twitter, StupidVideos, Veoh, VideoJug, Y! Video, YouTube, Viddler, Vimeo, 5min, Zoopy.  Best campaigns are hybrid like the recent intentionally lame Windows 7 videos.  Got 5.5mm views in September, impressive for a brand.  http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/video-windows-7-launch-party-parody-is-bleeping-genius/3.  Most have given up on trying to make money in online video.  Although YouTube is 50% of the game, study found that those that also syndicated to niche sites saw a 100x increase in viewership than those just on YouTube.  Greater success with vertical focus.  Analytics allow you to see where video is most embedded, can see if a specific mommy blog is an important outlet and starting feeding them exclusive content which they love because content drives traffic.  Moving from super-syndication (content everywhere blast) to hyper-syndication (content to engaged fans fast).  FB has no video strategy but is a top ten video site.  Study found most engaged viewers came from Twitter.
(per SMW remarks)

Brandon White, FUNimation
License anime content, aim to meet the needs of the licensors in Japan.  Syndicated via ad-supported video, iTunes, Xbox/Zune, PS3.  Use YouTube for fingerprinting.  Plan to syndicated across all CE devices – mobile, Blu-ray, web-enabled tvs.
(per SMW remarks)

Jim Louderback, Revision 3
Syndicates 20 shows including Diggnation broadly anywhere, anytime, any device, want to be where our audience millennial men live.  Auto-syndicates with Tubemogul but still need to manually refresh metadata at each site.
(per SMW remarks)

Dominik Rausch, Eleven Minutes Production, Easy To Assemble
EasytoAssembleSeries.com is a sponsored star-studded sitcom that has garnered 4.2mm+ views between its Season I & II on MyDamnChannel, YouTube, Ikeafans.com, KoldKastTV, Hulu.  Also distributed on iTunes.  In talks with DVD sales, releasing on hotel networks, subtitles for 10-15 additional countries in Europe & Asia.  Innovative series where in addition to celebrities like Illeana Douglas, Justine Bateman, Tom Arnold…IKEA is a co-star.  Web series same premium quality as film, all 10 episodes of second season strings together as a movie.  Production company is thinking of new ways to make content adapting to fragmented time-shifting society.  As traditional TV distribution disappears, new media will take over distribution for all platforms.
(per Commonwealth Club SmarterTV remarks)

Brent Friedman, Electric Farm
Production budget for Crackle’s Woke Up Dead is over $1mm, high for a web production but has talent attached which attracted integrated sponsors like Kodak.   (Premise of show is friend trying to monetize fact that friend is a living zombie, sub-plot pitching to brands for sponsorship).  Sometimes you have to take a risk to get a bigger payoff just like more marketing dollars equals more views.  Kodak also cross-promoted on their own site which over a million monthly uniques.  Valemont is a success with an engaged community of 25,000.
(per SMW remarks)

Thom Woodley, Dinosuar Diorama
All-For-Nots co-produced with Eisner’s Vuguru.  Doesn’t like sponsor integration, hurts show creatively, prefer ad-insertion, and smaller more engaged audiences of 50-100,000, hasn’t quit his day job as ad agency exec yet. Show All’s Faire about the Renaissance Faire reaches 20,000 Renaissance Faire fans plus sci fi, comics and comedy buffs.

G-Dragon: Ta-da, jak myślicie, co to!?ㅎㅎ Jestem teraz w Korei południowej. Muszę ciężko pracować nad przygotowaniem mnóstwa rzeczyㅜ Dziękuję za całe wsparcie i za przybycie! To będzie szalone^^

Tak, to wiadomość od samego G-Dragona xD. W końcu już piątego i szóstego jego pierwszy solowy koncert! Powodzenia oppa!

Niestety co za tym idzie G-Dragon nie będzie już występował ani pojawiał się w show. Yang HyunSeok powiedział: “Aby przygotować się do nadchodzącego koncertu który odbędzie się 5 i 6 grudnia na Stadionie Olimpijskim w Seulu G-Dragon, nie będzie występował publicznie”

Dodał też: “G-Dragon przygotowuje też specjalne wydarzenie, które będzie miało miejsce w grudniu. To będzie coś czego fani się nie spodziewają”

Co to może być? Ah, G-Dragon nas rozpieszcza, nie sądzicie?

Big Bang member G-Dragon will end his broadcasting activities.

This was announce by YG Entertainment Yang HyunSeok representative himself on 12th November, “To prepare for his upcoming concert to be held on 5th and 6th December in the Seoul Olympic Stadium, G-Dragon will stop broadcasting activities.”

He added, “G-Dragon is also preparing for a special even which will take place in December. It will be something that fans don’t expect and we will only drop ambiguous hints along the way when the event is near.”

What is that special surprise for December?!!?! ah I’m very curious and anxious now! At least we’ll get hints, I’m really good at those. YG is always surprising us, we VIPs are so spoiled, right? :]

Thanks to Kbites 

GD’s first solo concert “Shine a light“, which will be on 5th and 6th at the Seoul Olympic Stadium, will have Se7en, as a special guest.

This will be the first return for a long time on stage of Se7en. Because they’re good friends GD wanted to have Se7en at his first Solo concert and also Se7en wanted to support him.

Let’s hope for a fantastic concert in GD-Style and a great comeback of Se7en

G-Dragon’s first solo concert tickets sold out in just 10 minutes!

g-dragon’s “Shine a Light” concert was the ultimate anticipated concert of the year. As for the first round of tickets was n sale, the tickets were sold out in just 10 minutes to 12,000 fans. The concert will be held at the Seoul Olympic Stadium were many k-pop artists also held their concerts.

As the YG Entertainment stated that,

For G-Dragon fans, there is still a round two for the tickets but I think it will be harder than the first round for many fans (like me xD) want to spend my 2 december night with him.. ( (but of course i can’t for i’m here in phils.) He will stage his concert on December 5th and 6th this year.

New k-pop girl group, F(x) to release their first album!

The new girl group, f(x) releases their first album with the carrier single, <La Cha Ta>. The groups aim is to be known as the “Asia’s pop dance group”. And we can really see that they’re on the track for their dream as they have many endorsments for cellphones, sports brands and other CFs. Recently, they also released their didgital single <Chocolate Love> for LG chocolatephone. They will release their album entitled <Chu~♡> this November 9th!

So guys check it out! (they’re so damn good! I’ve watched their mv on arirang!) <3

here’s a little gift just for you guys! D

Não. Não se trata de um post sobre namoro entre artista ou mesmo a formação de casais fictícios de acordo com o desejo dos fãs. Continue lendo e saberá do que se trata.

Acreditem ou não, mas You and I [música solo da main vocal do 2NE1, Park Bom] já é um hit! Não precisa ler novamente, nós repetimos: You and I já é um hit. Lançado no dia 28 de Outubro, o single de Bom atingiu o #1 no Bugs, #3 no Doshirak e no Mnet.com e #6 no Melon. E tudo com menos de um dia.

O sucesso instantâneo surpreendeu a muitos, pois o solo foi lançado em meio a vários debuts e comebacks. Contudo, alguns dizem não haverem se surpreendido em nada, pois o girlgroup 2NE1 é um dos maiores sucessos deste ano, com seus hits Fire e I Don’t Care, o seu mini-álbum vendera extremamente bem.

Além do marco, o single também tem recebido ótimos comentários vindo dos netizens: “O jeito de sua voz soa estrangeira, o que é difícil de encontrar na Coréia” e “Eu acho que a música tem uma harmonia perfeita com a voz de Park Bom”.

O vídeo da música, conduzido pela sua própria intérprete, também está em perfeita harmonia com a imagem dela e a canção. A main vocal também fez um lindo vestido de casamento e mostrou um lado de si muito maduro e elegante, o que fez cabeças rodopiarem.

O plano é que You and I esteja no primeiro álbum do 2NE1.

Mas o sorriso do senhor YG tem outro motivo para brilhar como LED… Esse motivo é conhecido pelo público como G-Dragon.

Quem estava economizando o troco dos pães ou deixando pagar os guarda-carros para ir ao show do loiro já pode parar com tais atitudes. Motivo? Todos os ingressos foram vendidos em, aproximadamente, 10 minutos! Quer ler novamente? Ok, nós lhe aguardamos.

O concerto solo de G-Dragon, denominado Shine A Light, teve seus ingressos esgotados quase no mesmo momento que foram postos a venda. Em 10 minutos, os fãs já haviam reservado 12.000 lugares no Seoul Olympic Stadium.

Contudo, ainda há esperança: você pode comprar o ingresso assim que a segunda leva de ingressos for posta a vendo, no dia 30, que, obviamente, será mais uma disputa, assim como a primeira.

Palavras da YG Entertainment sobre o fato: “Nós tentamos dar a mais fãs a chance de vir. Nós tínhamos mais assentos disponíveis do que nos shows do Big Bang, mas continuou esgotando imediatamente.”.

Now I know Minky already posted an article very similar to this one, but I couldn’t help it! I had to share that picture of G-Dragon, and I needed an excuse for it. Jiyong is looking pretty buff here, look at those arms! Maybe not Taeyang hot but this guy can be extremely hot even without Taeyang’s abs. Now at least you guys know the ticket sale dates in case you’re going. ^^

According to YG Entertainment, GD will be holding his very first solo concert this December!  Exciting, no?  After his successful solo debut with Heartbreaker, he will be hitting the stage of the Seoul Olympic Stadium for a two night concert on December 5th and 6th~~~!

The concert will be titled ‘Shine a Light‘.  Tickets will go on sale on the 28th and 30th of October, each priced at 77,000 WON ($66) o.o

- What a bummer for me since I live so far away, but to those who’ll be attending GD’s concert, lucky you!  The ticket’s will probably sell faster that what it took me to type this post, so good luck!!

…

ANYWAY, speaking of GD and concerts, G-Dragon was seen at Beyonce’s I am…World Tour in Seoul’s Olympic Stadium.  It’s a two day event and it started on the 20th and will end tomorrow, the 21st.  Looks like it was a chilly evening.  A very normal look for the very daring fashionista.

To anyone who is going, you guys are gonna have the BEST time of your life, I can assure you. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance, so enjoy it to the max! Aghh I wish I could go!

American Express, in partnership with NBC Universal, invites you to read and vote for the small business story that you find most inspiring. The winner will receive $100,000 in grant and marketing support from American Express. Voting ends on October 16, 2009. Celebrate inspiring small businesses!

New Yorkers are nice.

I know this runs counter to a widely-held stereotype, but it’s true.  I’ve had some of my more life-affirming encounters with people right here in Gotham City, and here’s one of them:

I was recently walking Rory Dog a few blocks from my apartment.  A restaurant along the way was doing construction, and as we walked by, a gust of wind knocked a thin sheet of plywood into Rory.

It wasn’t heavy enough to hurt him, but he got a big old glop of unidentified pungent yellow ‘ick’ on his back.  The very apologetic restaurant owner suggested we go across the street to Beacon Hardware.

The guys at Beacon Hardware were amazing.  Alex immediately identified the mystery glob as glue, found a solvent that was water-based and dog-friendly, and then — to my surprise  — put Rory up on the counter and removed the glue himself.

Alex handled my dog with such care — I’m pretty sure the solvent never touched Rory’s skin — and he even gave Rory a cookie before we left. I returned the next day with a small thank you gift for the guys, but I would have liked to have done more…and maybe I still can.

Beacon Hardware happens to be one of three finalists in the “Shine a Light” promotion co-sponsored by NBC Universal and American Express. “Shine a Light” recognizes the achievements of small businesses across the country.  The winner receives $100,000 in grants and marketing support.

Beacon Hardware has my vote.  I hope it has yours!

Thanks to everyone who voted.  Over 500 people visited our profile as a Shine a Light nominee, but (too bad!) we weren’t selected as one of the final three businesses.  The finalists all look worthy and I encourage you to make your vote known.  You can see their profiles here:  http://shinealight.ivillage.com/

Thought for the day:

A good friend is like a warm quilt wrapped around the heart.

This is the Hamner Barber Theater nomination profile submitted to the NBC Universal and American Express SHINE A LIGHT competition to promote small business across America. While we didn’t make the final 3, we did received more than enough endorsements to be considered for the judging out of approximately 4,000 nominees, making us the only Branson, Missouri business to receive enough endorsements. Thanks to Laura Parramore from Image Works, Inc. for writing the nomination and to everyone who voted their support!

Branson Entertainers Inspire Their Community

At the heart and soul of Branson, Missouri are entertainers like Jim Barber and Dave Hamner, who captivate audiences every night with their humor, magic, music and more. They also captivate their community with their deep sense of commitment to the place where they live, work and raise their families.

Ventriloquist Jim Barber and illusionist Dave Hamner have been creating magical memories for Branson visitors since 2004. Their popular Hamner Barber Variety Show features one-of-a-kind magic effects, hilarious, original comedy and ends with an emotional, multimedia tribute to American Veterans that is being described by many as the most powerful tribute ever produced in Branson.

Not only are these dynamic entertainers tops in their field, they have also proven their business savvy by managing to grow a successful theater business during very tough economic times in the “Live Music Show Capital of the World.” In fact, when they purchased their theater venue, they kept every single employee from the previous owner, nearly all of whom are still happily working with them today.

Their talent has earned them guest appearances on network television programs such as NBC’s “World’s Greatest Magic” and CBS’s “Late Show with David Letterman.” Beyond the stage, both gentlemen share their time, talents and passion with the local community. Dave Hamner and his wife Denise minister to hundreds of tourists away from their Church homes each week with their Branson Gospel Sunday Service held at the theater. Jim Barber has served many years on the Board of Directors for Mountain Country Homes of Hope, a non-profit organization providing affordable and decent housing for deserving families in the Branson area. He also serves on the Board of Directors for the Branson/Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce, the Branson League of Theatre Owners, and he and his family are active members of their local church, donating much of their time to educate youth through Vacation Bible Schools and other events.

The performers also launched, and host, at their own expense, BransonWebcast.com, where they interview and feature other Branson businesses in order to promote the entire city of Branson, helping to ensure the collective success of the shows and attractions that make Branson such a popular family destination. The entrepreneurial spirit of these amazing performers, along with their genuine sense of community, is at the core of their well-earned success.

I had quite a few ideas going through my head when I got today’s phrase for my Creative Something of the Day … I’m pretty happy with what I ended up with in the end:

"You know, there are some places you just shouldn't shine a light."

All I want to do is to get back TO YOU.
