Coming to a small screen near you: new films that bypass the cinema


Independent producers are putting their movies straight on the internet

Movie Pol enables Movies to Premiere Online
Her MoviePol site, which launches at the end of the summer, is a direct response to frustration at trying to battle past the blockbusters to get her films shown in US cinemas. [via The Guardian]

"Run "virtually" between Los Angeles, London, Toronto and her office in the south of France, MoviePol hopes to be every film fan's local art house cinema when it launches. Its first films were selected by critics as deserving of a wider showing than they got.

... The spread of broadband and the advent of piracy-protected video playing systems is encouraging growing numbers of stymied producers and distributors to bypass cinemas and, as they put it, "democratise" the system.

... Most of those involved admit it is early days for the online release model and that if the experiments take off they will establish an additional medium to cinema, not a replacement.

Still, watching films online should no longer be seen as the preserve of tech-savvy enthusiasts, says Andrew Wilding at Vividas, the video streaming specialist powering MoviePol: "People now are very comfortable with the digital world," he says. "It's not just the nerds who are watching it."

The news of the new deal for encoders to launch an online TV channel is certainly welcome:

"the Group is already operating through a Philippine reseller,
Magneato, which has just signed an annual licence to take Vividas live encoders
in order to launch an online TV channel"

VIVIDAS GROUP PLC

Board Change

Vividas, the video streaming technology company, announces that it has accepted
the resignation of David Charles Winter as a Director of the Board of Vividas
with immediate effect. He remains an employee and has assumed additional
executive responsibilities.

Dave, who is based in Melbourne, Australia, has been Chief Technology Officer of
Vividas since its flotation on AIM in March 2005 as well as CEO of the Group's
Australian operations and a member of the Group Operating Board. Dave will now
have the additional responsibility for the larger region of Asia Pacific as the
Group looks to expand its operations into the Asian markets.

The Asia Pacific region is expected to become a major contributor to the Group
and Dave's experience in both sales and technology, coupled with having lived in
Hong Kong during his formative years, makes him the ideal candidate to develop
the Group's presence in this territory. The commitment required to perform the
dual roles of Group CTO and CEO Asia Pacific would be too much for any one
individual. Dave and Vividas are very excited at the opportunity of generating
growth in the Asia Pacific region where, in addition to the Australian
operation, the Group is already operating through a Philippine reseller,
Magneato, which has just signed an annual licence to take Vividas live encoders
in order to launch an online TV channel. The Group is actively looking into JV
opportunities in the other Asian markets.

Vividas is also pleased to announce the appointment of Jeff Paine as VP Global
Product Development, based in London. Jeff, who joins the Operating Board, will
have responsibility for the development of the Group's product portfolio as well
as ensuring the Group has a full understanding of the market segment and
customer requirements. Jeff was previously VP Strategic Marketing for UT
Starcom, California, where he was responsible for developing and implementing
market, product and business strategies for the $4B China-based technology
company to adapt the company's newest products and solutions to the needs of
service provider customers in Europe, the US and Latin America. Jeff was one of
Cisco's first 100 employees, working for it from 1989 to 2005, becoming Director
of Corporate Marketing. Prior to this, he was Marketing Programs Manager for
Intel Corporation.

Paul Neville, Chief Executive, said, " We thank Dave for his enormous
contribution and commitment to the plc Board since listing but now is the time
to move quickly into the Asian market and Dave is the person who has the skill
set and experience in that market to bring success for Vividas. As CEO Asia
Pacific, Dave will remain a key contributor to the Operating Board. The
appointment of Jeff as VP Global Product Development is a key appointment for
Vividas and a role that the Company has needed for some time. The experience
that Jeff brings with him will be invaluable to our success."

speculative buys ahead of positive news?

[philjeans] 02/7/2007 13:39

Looks like we've broken the down trend - the only way is up!

[the_pimp] 28/6/2007 18:52

Looks like a new small contract.

Would be nice to see some more long term contracts with big names like the Sony one which is now up and running. We then might be able to think about £1.50-£2 by Christmas. Market Cap is still nice and small so plenty of upside.

[philjeans] 28/6/2007 16:22

Good spot; is this a new contract?

[the analyst] 28/6/2007 15:32

Vividas go paranormal:

[scrutable] 28/6/2007 00:18

great examples yesterday and today - demonstrating that the share price can move easily 10-15p on the day - up or down. Though one imnvestor reported enormous difficulty buying 5-10k today

The upward channel remains intact. The fundamentals can only get better. I see 130p come quickly with two or three good contract announcements which I am sure will now come.

[nmf777] 27/6/2007 16:02

may do bachman, got more cash on the sidelines and am casting around for a nice home for it ....

[bachman] 27/6/2007 15:21

the bounce was a great call scrutable, can't wait for a real drive for the sp, which should come in the guise of a major deal.

[bachman] 27/6/2007 15:14

nmf777 - 27 Jun'07 - 15:12 - 692 of 692

go back and try again.

[nmf777] 27/6/2007 15:12

bought 10k a little while ago and it seemed to produce that last tick up, now sadly reversed!

[james 2] 27/6/2007 13:17

I just kicked the dog thinking it was him !
