Playboy set to launch Made-for-Mobile Series

MobilizedTV.com reports:

Jon, Ashley and Charlie are real interns at Playboy in New York City. They’re also the “stars” of Playboy’s first made-for-mobile series, “Interns,” which has a lot more in common with “Real World” than the steamy fare you might expect from the Hefner empire. (Well, there is that scene in a tanning salon with an intern and a Playboy bunny, but indecent body parts are covered by the Playboy logo. Oh, and there’s that bit about recruiting the next Playboy Cyber Girl.)

The original episodes were 4 minutes in length but will be cut to 90 seconds for the mobile market.

Nice little technical comments as well:

Swanhaus said the focus for mobile was to keep the content light and entertaining. “From a technical standpoint, you don’t want to do a lot of pans, not too much cutting, because sometimes the delivery system is slower,” he said. Each episode is self-contained, which means you can jump around the episodes nonlinearly without losing the story thread.

The Guild has new SWAG

SWAG annoucement from last years #1 webseries of SxSW (and others).

The Guild is very excited to announce that Jinx Tees is now the provider of the official Guild Tee! The quality of the shirt will be much better than provided before, and they will be providing DVD fulfillment to us as well, saving Felicia and Kim from packaging DVDs on the floor of the kitchen as they have been the last few months!

They will be adding new designs as the season is launched on November 25th.

And if you purchase a Tee, they would like you to submit a picture of yourself in it to make the Jinx store look fancy!

Recast Digital

Recast Digital just launched a brand new HD video service for content owners and advertisers, which offers one-touch, full-screen, interactive high-definition video without the need for additional plugins. They’ve established various quality levels within their interactive showcase.

The link is www.thisisvideo.tv

The HD selection is true HD 720p. If your computer isnt up to supporting HD due to processor or bandwidth restrictions then it will downgrade you to SD at 480p, or to WD at 360p.

We played with the different video settings and even the WD 360p is great quality in full screen mode and didn’t miss a beat.

Check it out.
