Michael Eisner recently announced the formation of Vuguru
Studios. Outside the entertainment industry, such an announcement might
not be considered shattering news. Mr. Eisner is no stranger to the
entertainment industry and his resume as former Disney CEO proves it.
What is exceptional about the new studio is the medium that Vuguru will
be exploiting. Mr. Eisner is taking the mainline Entertainment
Establishment onto the Internet. His new studio will market an original
movie in daily 90 second installments. The distribution will be on
various Internet sites. At Zycon, we are always impressed with
creativity and innovation, and the Internet has been the home of a
great deal of innovation such as
YouTube and
MySpace.
The Internet is constantly changing with use. Now as it becomes a
medium for mainline businesses, the changes made will be interesting
and unpredictable. I have taken an informal poll of Zycon staff and the
general consensus is that any movie that is doled out in 90 second
installments would be too difficult to follow. It will be interesting
to see if this new entertainment venue is universally accepted.
Your comments are welcome.
