PRESS RELEASE:
The Half Million Dollars Web2.0 Video
Imagine breaking apart a video into the smallest parts possible: frames. Now put each frame to sale for a very low price and a couple of minutes video becomes a half million dollars virtual property asset.
Where have we seen this before? The Million Dollar Homepage was selling the smallest possible pieces of space: pixels. This project, called Our TV Ad is selling the smallest possible pieces of time: frames.
Using the power of a crowd of frame buyers the project aims to raise enough money to broadcast the video on television and still help a start-up charity project.
For $39, the price of one frame, everyone can have their 15 minutes of fame. Well, it’s not really 15 minutes, but only 1/25 of a second. But still, YOU can be on TV.
Of course the risk no one will notice it when buying only one frame is substantial, since video will be made of thousands of different frames rapidly flickering. However, one frame can still make a difference when putting imagination to work…
To avoid extensive viewer’s eye fatigue, blocks of 15 and 30 consecutive seconds have been reserved. Due to the high price they reach, only big investors will be able to buy those blocks to run their commercials. Being side by side with homebrew frames will certain be very appellative to corporations after a young audience who is shifting TV for YouTube.
Frame buyers will also have a unique page showing their frame along with a complete description of the product they are promoting. Also, when showing online, clicking on the video will link to each buyer’s website.
