Dailymotion creative contributors
get opportunity to receive Pop-Up
Video treatment by the original
creator of VH1's popular program
New York,
NY - June 27, 2008 - Dailymotion,
the world's largest independent
video sharing site, in conjunction
with Tad Low, creator of VH1's
popular Pop-Up Video program, today
announced the launch of "The Truth
About Dailymotion Videostars." An
innovative opportunity for the
site's Motionmakers contributors,
the new program will enable original
content producers to submit videos
for consideration to receive pop-up
video treatment as in the classic
music video show.
By joining
Dailymotion's Truth About
Dailymotion Videostars group,
accessible at
http://www.dailymotion.com/group/TheTruthAbout,
Motionmaker creative content
contributors can elect to have their
videos included among the
"popped-up" selections. As with the
original VH1 videos, bubbles called
"info nuggets" will appear
approximately every 5-10 seconds
throughout each selected video.
Written by original series' creator
Tad Low, the pop-ups will contain
the same kinds of trivia, witticisms
and random information that enabled
the VH1 program to become a
veritable cultural phenomenon.
"We at
Dailymotion are awestruck and
inspired every day by the superior
quality and high entertainment value
of the videos uploaded to our site
by the creative community through
our Motionmaker program," stated Joy
Marcus, Dailymotion's general
manager, US. "We're delighted to
team up with another creative
genius, Tad Low, for this project,
and we
look
forward to the amazing and hilarious
videos that are sure to result."
“Dalymotion’s online videos are just
as fertile ground for popping as any
Mariah Carey music video,” added
Pop-Up Video Creator Tad Low. “We
can’t wait to aim our well-honed
bubbles on Dailymotion’s crop of
creative Motionmakers.”
