Germany’s toughest film critics

Today’s media landscape already offers an unmanageable amount of content – and this will only get worse in the future. How can one find really exceptional films, interesting documentaries and knee-slapping comedies?

The creamBOTS solution is an evaluation tool where users are asked to rate not just films, documentaries and individual episodes of a series but also certain details such as actors, music and content. While watching the film, viewers can press an “action button” and rate the film in the related pop-up. At the end of the show, the pop-up opens automatically – viewers can award up to five stars or jot down detailed commentary. The stars are added to the general rating of the program and can be seen by everyone. You can even recommend really good shows and movies to friends, acquaintances or family members. After all, who knows our individual tastes better than those that know us best?

Waiting 90 minutes at the edge of consciousness to be moved or excited by a film – that’s just consuming, not living. It’s different with creamBOTS: it’s always prime time and every film or show is a blockbuster. What’s on top and what flops is decided by the viewers: Germany’s toughest film critics.

FamilyFun: Watching TV to come closer

There are moments in life that we want to share with everyone that’s close to use. It’s difficult enough with events that have been planned for months but nearly impossible for all the unforeseen moments that appear without notice, and disappear just as quickly.

The concept from 3-frogs bridges distances and connect us with people who are near to our hearts but far away using the Internet, mobile television and IPTV. “FamilyFun” is a cross-media platform to share photos, videos and stories as well as calendars and address books with friends and family.

Touching moments from afar – the proud father puts the first photos of his child and a video of his wife on the platform moments after the birth, writes a quick introduction and sends a note to everyone. Grandparents can take part in the first moments of their new grandchild without living nearby. Since communication is also part of the platform, grandma and grandpa can send a greeting card with personal wishes directly to their daughter’s mobile phone.

Share pictures and the stories behind them and let other people see the world through your eyes!

PIN: What you see, is what you get...

A typical night in front of the tube: a marriage proposal in “Sex and the City” – Carrie’s wearing the latest Manolo Blahnik. Tim Mälzer’s serving lamb and the “Desperate Housewives” are making sure their outfits match their kitchen utensils. James Bond drives an Aston Martin and Audrey Hepburn is having “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”. The TV is full of things and information you have to have as well as places you must be – and Trenfield/Regner know the time to strike is when desire is hot.

Unobtrusive pop-ups are used to offer relevant content at the edge of the screen, which can be called up using the remote control. Viewers get links to related websites, a shopping list for a recipe, find out where Carrie shops and just how expensive breakfast can be. The push of a button calls up the wanted information in the form of a URL or sends a text note to a pre-selected medium – mobile phone or PC – that can be called up and used later.

PIN offers information spontaneously and instantaneously. Films don’t have to be paused and viewers aren’t torn away from their programs, like with traditional advertising. Viewers themselves decide if they want the information and activate PIN when they decide.
