MicroFilm wins Flash Lite Developer Challenge Grand Prize



MicroFilm has been outed. We (Paul Wilson and myself) are really happy and honoured that MicroFilm has been given some great public recognition by being awarded the Grand Prize in the Flash Lite Developer Challenge. Many thanks to all those involved.

Now that MicroFilm is out in the public arena I'll try and share some of the thinking and plans behind it over the coming weeks.

Our main goal, from MicroFilm's inception 2 years ago, has always been to get a great mobile video application out into the consumer's hands. That remains the case.

As always with mobile nothing is a s simple as it seems. We do however, have some innovative business models that we’re exploring to support its distribution.

We’re progressing to the next stage of our user testing of MicroFilm and opening it up to a wider audience so send an email to microfilm@ this website if you are interested in helping out!

MicroFilm nominated in the Flash Lite Developer Challenge

Pleased to announce that MicroFilm has been nominated in the category of infotainment for the Flash Lite Developer Challenge

MicroFilm is something that Paul Wilson and myself have actually been working on for sometime. I think the idea was originally forged back in 2007 just after Flash Lite 3.0 was released. Since then we have been slowly modelling and building our take on a dream application for mobile. Imagine you have a nice phone, an unlimited data plan and you love movies - MicroFilm is for you!

Here's a video of the application in action. BTW. This is a real app, not a hacked together prototype, its fed via Adobe Media Server and a fully functional backend providing all the social networking stuff.
