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 sometimes just looking through Netflix, then Prime,

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 discovery. Show me only what I can watch for f

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 serious take on the subject

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 and simple. It is illegal. We will find another way.

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 get lots of attention from production companies because t

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 to develop an alternative to theatrical releases.

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 distribution platforms and working with studios to find a safe way to r

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 they are organizing the accelerator.

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 we need look no further than what Big Spaceship and Ken Bur

I think it is a law in the US as well? Pretty hard to corner the market though with a bike light...

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" that is pretty good but again it&#x27

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 product they were making. GoPro has a similar mission as Re

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" but unless GoPro figures out someway to make it nec

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 taking bigger bites out of the market. And sure we may not moun

Although this is sarcastic you do bring up a good point. GoPro is a maker of a single product - the GoPro POV camera - just as RedBull is the maker of a single product - the wing-inducing energy drink. How much longer will GoPro be able t

...and spending a few million on an advertising campaign is probably a waste to you too then huh..

I don't think anyone will ever refer to this app as simply "Paper"..that already exists with 53's app. My guess is that people will refer to it as "Facebook Paper" as they have with "Facebook Messenger&qu

Facebook will always need a home page if for no other reason than to manage who you friend and what you are reading. They are interested in creating more stand alone apps ala Messenger. Paper is just another stand alone facebook app - and

I disagree. A startup's goal is to share their mission and product in a way that is shareable. A pitch video that is pure product features is nothing more than boring advertising.

Speaking as a filmmaker and entrepreneur here. Oculus is NOT the future of anything. It isn't going to replace movies or gaming or take the place of any already existing models of entertainment that we have in place. The opportunity
