    People want aggregation, it will come back in some form. The new streaming landscape is much too fragmented...kind of like the Airline industry.

    Google does too. I'm talking about discovery - most people don't know what they want to watch when they sit down in front of the TV. I've found myself scrolling for 20-30min someti…

    justwatch and reelgood do this well but need more applications.

    I'm fascinated by this problem: How would consumers navigate a third-party aggregation application? It seems to me there needs to be a free "Kayak"-like service for film & tv disco…

    If anyone wants to read the pilot: http://www.fileswap.com/dl/wQwDwVML9f/ Honestly wasn't a fan at all. Felt very contrived and inorganic. Would have been a bigger fan of a more se…

    You make it sound like this is the only opportunity for disruption yet fail to bring a point to the table to back up this claim. Piracy is a violation of copyrighted content plain …

    This is exactly what I am talking about haha. Nabster was the precursor to iTunes. iTunes disrupted everything legally.

    Actually they have every intention of doing just that. Look at the decline in movie ticket sales year by year over the last 4. Emerging distribution platforms like Netflix and Hulu…

    The cost of making a film is getting lower as are P&A expenses required to release them. This disruption is imminent but we shouldn't go around studios -- we need to work with them…

    All for disrupting Hollywood, but pirating (or file-sharing however you want to phrase it) is NOT how we are going to accomplish this. The ripest piece of disruption is distributio…

    Fantastic idea in our constant dialogue about the convergence of tech and entertainment in LA. Will be very interesting to follow as this develops through the semesters or however …

    We talk exhaustively about what this convergence looks like - what the future of filmed entertainment and consumption infused with the cutting edge of tech will look like. Perhaps …

    Because of the "fish-eye" effect of the lens, it is hard to use stabilization plugins for editing purposes. In After Effects CS6 by Adobe they have a plugin called "Warp Stabilizer…

    I would call "windsurfing" and "skiing" extreme cases of POV usage. The normal application of POV cams could easily be filled by a more practical mobile device such as a cell phone…

    I bring up Redbull because there you have a company that was able to profit more-so from it's brand than their product. Their brand created more value in the company than the produ…

    So we agree that there is opportunity for some growth in the POV camera marketplace but disagree in how much there really is. You mention "every urban biker in the western world" b…

    It is clearly a nitch in the market place but is it large enough to sustain and grow in a publicly traded company? That is the question. Mobile phones are only going to start takin…
