Owners of personal video devices such as video iPod and PSP now have an online
source for free professional high quality video preformatted for their device
with no digital rights management.
Walkie-Lookie.com (www.walkie-lookie.com) premieres Sunday, May 28th, with an initial offering of comedy, political humor, two original series and relaxing nature videos. In June, the site will add gamer features, car features, a new age series, sports, and children's programming. Later this summer, the site will premiere a daily episodic dramatic series.
A "Lookie" is a 3 to 5 minute feature, often produced
as part of a series of similar Lookies, designed to be viewed on the small
screen; it is offered free to personal video device users, is supported by an
opening 15-second commercial. Lookies are not copy protected; in fact users are
encouraged to copy them, as long as they leave them intact.
The Walkie-Lookie web interface enables personal video
device users to select their device (from a list of every device on the market)
and download the proper file for their player. These files can then be
synchronized with their portable players through a variety of media players and
helper apps.
Flying Pig Ranch in Palm Beach County, Florida produced
the initial site content. Other production companies will join Walkie-Lookie to
provide international content.
Flying Pig Ranch and Walkie-Lookie, Inc. are both
divisions of Touch-Map Systems, a privately held company based in North Palm
Beach, Florida.
