    Good News for Video Content Creators and Distributors

    For decades and up until recently, content creation was only within the reach of big studios, famous directors, and a handful of entrepreneurs who were able to get their content noticed. But luckily times change, and how video is consumed and produced has also changed. Look around you—young adults and teens are watching less TV and spending more time on mobile devices. They are still consuming lots of video but it is video produced by a wide range of providers, not just the traditional TV outlets. The new reality is that video production and consumption is more organic and decentralized. If you have a smart phone, camcorder, or tablet, you’re a potential video producer or consumer.

    Now that video production is within almost anyone’s grasp, the question becomes how to monetize and protect original creations. YouTube and other platforms give you a place to have a presence—a channel—but not necessarily a way to monetize your creation. And, drum roll, here comes the good news—Junkinmedia.com. If you have not heard about this company you soon will. Just a few years old, Jukin Media, is the creation of Jonathan Skogmo. His company is bringing modern video creators and distribution platforms closer together. If you are creating content, documenting current events, or just have something to say, you can now monetize it and protect it thanks to Jonathan and his talented team at Jukin Media.[blockquote width=’30’]

    Jonathan has made an important contribution in terms of innovating how to distribute and monetize video. He has found a way to reward you for your hard work. And he has done so in a simple way.

    If you are a distributor you will also love working with this company. Just visit their website and learn all about licensing content that is current, topical and trending. You can contact Jukin Media at (323) 932-0960 or at info@jukinmedia.com for more information.

    Jonathan will be at the Digital Hollywood spring conference this week, if you want to meet him in person.

  • Vision Recognition Technology

    Vision Recognition Technology

    Vision recognition is a relatively new technology for consumer products. If you have a PlayStation Eye or an Xbox Kinect you have probably experienced this kind of technology at least a little bit. When your game console recognizes you when you enter the living room, you’ve got a whole new way of playing, exercising, and dancing with your friends! Really cool stuff. But what if I told you that this same technology is also available at an affordable cost, with the web camera you already own, or the video camera that is included in your mobile device? Wouldn’t that be great? Well it is available – at EyeCue Video Technologies www.eyecue-tech.com

    Vision recognition technology makes it possible for toys, games and websites to be truly interactive. Recognition of objects, images, shapes, faces and movements leads to extraordinary user experiences.

    EyeCue is a small company based in Israel. Their CEO is Ronen Horovitz. I have had the pleasure of working with him in years past, and it has been a wonderful experience. Here’s an excerpt from their home page:

    “Vision recognition technology makes it possible for toys, games and websites to be truly interactive. Recognition of objects, images, shapes, faces and movements leads to extraordinary user experiences, and EyeCue’s state-of-the-art solutions makes it easy. The company’s software-based solutions are ideal for consumer applications; supercharging toys, educational products, mobile devices, and online destinations.”

    One of the many reasons to be excited about this technology is that it is software based, which means you don’t have to invest in expensive hardware. Lego is already putting out toys in the market with this technology.

    Whether you are a toy manufacturer, you’re developing the new coolest mobile game, or you’ve built a social application, this may just be the tool for you.

    EyeCue provides great customer service, complete API and Toolkits, and if you need it they even offer onsite customer support integration. Check out their website or give Ronen a call at 1-818-518-1300, or drop them a line at info@eyecue-tech.com. You will not be disappointed.

    Next week I’ll tell you about more exciting new technologies and services. Many of these services will be available to review at Digital Hollywood. I will be moderating a panel on Thursday May 8th. Come visit my session and meet a great panel with really interesting services that can help make your next product or service extremely successful.
