Rise of the Independent Creators
I recently listened to an interesting presentation by one of the creators of Jib Jab — a company that has pioneered its way into animation through the use of the Internet. What is particularly fascinating is the fact that this company is an independent started by two brothers (and understanding wives). Marketing and distribution have been made possible by clever business sense, quality productions and the Internet.
This will happen a lot more.
KIWI is a great example of this.
As soon as people can easily transfer media from the Internet onto their TV sets, this will really take off.
