MIPCube Looking For Startups Disrupting The Video Market
from the go-disrupt dept
For a few years now, we've been attending and/or partnering with Midem, the big music industry conference. The same folks are now also doing MIPCube, a similar conference focusing on TV and video. We're partnering with them on their MIPCube Labs event, similar to the equivalent program at Midem, where a bunch of startups get to present their disruptive ideas, and the ones voted the best by a panel of judges will win some awards. If you're involved in an innovative or disruptive startup that is changing the face of video, TV or film, you should apply to take part -- and hurry up since you have to apply by February 29th (I know that link says the 20th, but it's been extended!):MIPCube Lab is the only start-up competition to be tightly integrated into the TV industry and its future. It provides a global platform for start-ups to get feedback from the most powerful and innovative decision makers in the TV business and obtain funding from the finance community.Having seen the Midem Labs competition evolve and grow over the years, and seen lots of great companies present through there (including folks like Kickstarter and SoundCloud), these events can be really worthwhile for startups, so check it out.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Something to keep an eye on
If there's an part of the entertainment biz that needs so shaking up, some new ideas and ways of doing things it's the video, movie and tv part. They all seem mired in repeating or self copying stories, styles and ways of shooting shows.
I wish then all luck and I'm anxious to see who wins this competition,

Can I give youone to pass on..?
Instead of RENTING those DVDS...
SELL them at $5 each...NO RETURN.
Do the same with MUSIC...BURN IT AND GIVE IT, $5.
But also add....
That install them in compressed mode, On larger format HD or Blue ray..in the 100000's...on each machine.
NOT the current/wild/less then EVERYTHING format.
Then ask the customer WHAT form they want..
DVD, MP4, FLV, AAC, MP3, OOG,....
and what device..iphone, DVD, computer, Android...
It takes the data, transcribes it to the format and device...BURNS it, and GIVES it to the person for $5.
