New models for movies
Henry H. Perritt, Jr.
Faster processors Increased storage capacity Expanding network bandwidth
Recorded music Same wake-up calls Reduced capital costs Marginal cost, and therefore, price
approaching zero Studios’ heads in the sand
Movies Same wake-up calls Much higher capital costs for human capital Large sunk costs still likely Innovative efforts to explore new channels:
Hulu, Netflix
Digital exhibition in movie theaters Internet browsers—fixed and mobile-- as
a TV sets Videogames as platforms for narrative
movies
New opportunities Legal issues
Collaboration through crowd-sourcing and Open Source code
Who owns what?
Serialization to reduce the capital costs
Copyright and trademark protection for characters and long-phase story lines
Getting the money to the table Mitigating transaction costs of offering investment opportunities
Too much on Narrative principles? Stages of production? “Facts” in consumption section
Enough on New possibilities? New opportunities for revenue?
IP discussion at the end, as now, or as part of serialization section?
