FilmTiki’s online week in review – part 17

Who is The Audience For This Movie?
The founder of production company filmutopia, Clive Davies-Frayne, is contemplating the ways to go about finding and building audiences for a movie. Very nice read!

Video-on-demand now 27% of Internet traffic: Study
Videobusiness posted new figures on the state of Video-on-demand: referring to a report by Sandvine 27% of the Internet traffic comes from VOD now!

Take the Survey: 50 States, 50 Filmmakers
Paul Harrill of Self-Reliant Film is calling for the survey 50 States, 50 Filmmakers to find filmmakers around the USA.

Steal my idea
Ronni Thomas has an idea for a movie and wants you to steal it! By the way, screenwriters, check out Greenwriter – the simple way for writers to share their screenplays with industry professionals.

Is Social Media the New Cigarette?
Social Media has some really interesting usage habit figures, according to a study from Retrevo, about the usage of Social Media, for example:

It found that their sample used social media in the car (over 35 – 9%, under 35 – 40%), at work (over 35 – 29%, under 35 - 64%), on vacation (over 35 – 41%, under 35 – 65%), on a date (over 35- 9%, under 35 – 34%), and after sex (over 35 – 8%, under 35 – 36%).

Why People use Twitter – in one word
Another nice post i found on Social Media Today was about the motives why people use Twitter, described in one word.
Guess what the most popular reasons are: People and Information. Surprising :-)

Net pirates to be ‘disconnected’
I first read about this in German on ORF futurezone, then switched to the English version on BBC News and it seems to be true: The UK plans to introduce tough measures against illegal file-sharers using a ‘Three Strikes Out’-model to punish them. What’s wrong with this picture?

Webseries in Germany
Finally, I came across a German website dedicated to webseries, called 3min.de. Definitly worth visiting!
