Subject: Hot News Alert: MetaTV on the big screen at the Movies
OPENING CREDITS
Many thanks to Michelle Breman for coming up with the idea and concept!
Thanks to Pete Coleman for co-ordinating with McArthur designs for the Ad itself. And thank you to everyone who gave input to the design and layout of the Ad:
LONG AGO IN THE ITV GALAXY FAR FAR AWAY …
“Tired of dot commuting? Take your commute and career in a new direction”
<Picture of traffic jam on one side of the freeway with a shiny red corvette with plain sailing heading in the other direction.>
“Positions open in exciting field of interactive television”
“MetaTV – based in Sausalito. Pre-IPO.”
(we’ll post the jpg of the ad in the marketing folder)
NOW PLAYING
I went to the movies tonight to check it out and it looks great! My friend wasn’t too thrilled going to the movies 1 hour before the actual show we were going to see. Also going from screen to screen so that I could see it running in the different size screens and sitting there and timing the number of seconds it stayed on the screen (8 secs) and how long before it came back around again (4 min 43 secs) might be considered straight jacket material. But hey, MetaTV’s name is up in lights! I’m excited!
Tell your family and friends and go check it out for yourselves at the following locations:
San Francisco – AMC Kabuki (1881 Post St) running on all screens
AMC Van Ness (1000 Van Ness) running on all screens
Marin – Northgate Mall (San Rafael) running on screens 1 through 9
COMING ATTRACTIONS:
Stay tuned, I’ll be sending out some info about the upcoming TV shoot scheduled for Tuesday Aug 22nd.
