Ideas

hmm im trying to see the tech point out of this. quite hard wont it be? other then that . cool idea

Rizal...your hyping would help than your poor score given =(

but anyway, its the great odds that if hurdled will make the success much sweeter right?

sorry i tend to give low scores . though i like the idea. i see the difficulties in executing it. it will be hard to create such a product on no cost at all..

and there will take lots of designers/developers/programmers to create such a plattform.

its like making a movie. they usually have this stunts...

How do you get all the content plus yourself in the 3d world?

I work in 3d and I kind of see where you are going.
You idea is a very complicated one to create.

Can you give us some more details?

Dude...youre a Dream builder!

Turn this into business ASAP...i got some friends that can collaborate with you in technical aspects.

Go Tiger!

I think that you could sell some of these videos. You might be able to do quite well in the short term. I also think that like many things, this would fade quickly.
If I were a VC, I wouldn't be convinced.

I love the idea, I think it's great if we can cooperate with larger directories of movies, songs and clips from all around the world.

moogy:

good you mentioned your expertise, as i've said am not a technical person..but some people told me the realm is much easier that we Merchant thought...i just though 3D is a jumpstart or anime/cartoon while the main dish is being prepared (the actual film footage to vanity spoof or iPeg). Most videos can be 'recreated" with copyright being the legal impediments.

Entrprenew:

even if this is become a fad (which i dont see why in 4 billion "market" it will -years maybe)..i believe the name will stay and retention is a good investment as technology improves...Most VC are traditonalist and framed themselves in four corners of their experience but this is the Internet and Software technology even PACMAN and or MARIO brother returns and reinvented while Instant Photo Booth still present in morethan 80 countries.

Iskandar:

thats the path really..to go there and capture a good segment of that inventory to lure and make people stay since some culture and location will have their own favorite video to IPEG.

...guys, just a souvenir video for occasion like Wedding theme video is a exciting market to produce backyard SMEs (small medium enterprise) ... LOTR, Titanic is being themed in wedding, while music videos computer generated recreation (LOTR again) is being done with gusto... i dont want to go to details on the business model (though obviously the Gold is glittering even Mercury is present) =)

Wow...hope i can have the Ipeg video by December as a gift to my Grandparents!

How did you coined the word iPeg i search it and saw a lot of acronym for it but trying to figure the name for the project does make sense really.

Neat and cool!

thanks thunderbear...bear with me as ams stil on developmet stage but yes our target dates is on last quarter soft launch and a BIG ONE in Decemeber(since most are in vacations)!

re the name: ipEg is not a trademark so i never hesitated to used it.
2ndly, it was coined from the word PEG which means: pin marking something and (as transitive verb) is to secure, to fasten or "peg" something ..of course the prefix "i" is jargon now for internet ideas orginally means MY..(and redundanly used as suffix for Improved) thus iPEG or my PEG (videos/cartoons/filmclips) is now born!

Lastly: in commerce its used as to fix something or of value to some level..since you are iPEgging a video for whatever worth it is to you more now. iPEG is just perfect!

hm great idea

I wouldnt want one.

I like your imagination! hmmmmm....

I give you five Saigon! No need to overhype this one, the idea in itself has a lot of merits. Ideas like this could be Google's missing ingredients in turning YouTube a profit center. Go for it!

And this is cute: i dream.. i built.. ipeg

Dear Saigon,
Is it for real that iPeg or my PEG will be launch in December? I would like to be your beta tester..:)

Thanks for the motivation guys specially to Rovtar, Joyce...

Cycko: thanks for the push... i havent been so excited for a long time dealing with a project that will rock the world. I will keep you posted and will be needing your corporate saviness in the days to come.

Rawkin: am stil about to meet my technical team next week, i think the beta tester with you wil be for free to drum beat this to your territory with you as superman kissing her lady love! =)

..gee getting excited really...even previous remark Menu was over looked...

Alex UK: you wouldnt want one for now, but wait until you see the BETA and see how does it feels good you hopping in the Moon with Neil Armstrong hehehe

saigon...just keep your focus...and work for my 1 cambro's given for all its worth!

go to work and hit the world on this storm coming! =)

but..either you sell it now or get the risk of being copied and eaten alive!

Someone mention google and you know how scouts do their wicked homework...In the cold war lioves are being shed too...

Anyway Godspeed it is a great Idea!

Be well,

How about doing it all in virtual lego?

Users can construct famous or original scenes in virtual lego and star themselves in any user-made scene templates. The lego avatars should allow flexible customization in order to be identifiable.

I'm wondering if it's technically easier than trying to realize iPEG real and natural.

I have to check what my team have to say...visiting the site re Virtual Lego if am not mistaken ..it is an applicaiton for a starter via LDraw? Then ray tracing etc.... again am not a technical person but more of a visionary. Are the 3d arcades games in Lego avatar? if it is then what i imagine as the early stage to give to clients

My warm thanks really for this comment, just what i mentioned in my early IDEA synopsis the 3d thing or avatar could be a start...at the onset i thought this video editing technology is been around since some video scandals are either rebunked as fakes and just some digital magic... now were trying to put it in a user friendly site.

This is a really cool idea! Who hasn't fantasized about being a rock star without the hassle of learning or being able to sing or play the piano, like Billy Joel (ok I am dating myself here). This Crowsourcing is a great idea too, but (there it is that damn "but") what is stopping a more technically inclined person from simply taking your idea and making it his or hers? I really don't like it when people try to discourage me and look I am doing it now right here. I guess what I have learned over the years of daydreaming is that: the ideas that you will realize will be the ones you lead. If you're not a technical person as you have said, than maybe you will have difficulty since you cannot really lead this. I hope that despite what I am saying here, you WILL succeed. The greatest resource that anyone can have, aside from their mind, is friends, and this is what this site is all about. Good fortune to you my friend. :-)

So this would take an existing video, replace one person's face with a blue screen, and superimpose your image on the blue screen? I have a software program that does that with JPEGs. Makes some interesting spoofs.

Colonelron:
Lets get it on...i already put this on the business email me and discuss the matter...
Moreover, it is the spoof thing that will really get away from copyrigh hassle aka parody and criticism =)

DoctorO:
thanks for the constructive comment...lets remember even LIoan tamer doesnt need teeth and flex but just his whip =) i been managing peole for the last 9 years...i know how to skin a cat a thousand ways.
rest assured friends are considered gems on this path called digital life.

Let me get this, you can use any jpeg picture and make a video?Hell you could unite,The Beatles,Zep,The DEAD.......its end less....great idea!!!cudos

...gee, i can be Britney's Spear in no time at all in video while belting myself in my own sala... a vanity soup that is good for soul!

cynthia:
thanks! uniting them might be have some confusing issue and would not much served your own iPeg build dream video but you joining in one of their concert video is a probability in either of the methods were now developing... jpeg is a source,,you will have choices like how yahoo avatar inventory of selection does=)

Abbys_of _thought:

yeah youre right! isnt this better than you tube?

this iPEG is HOT!!!!!!!

have you met your team? can you sure deliver your concept?

gotta move fast!

..this is cool Dude!

Hope you win all the way to the monthly tournament!

Godspeed saigon!

hhmm sounds interesting. What would be the difference between iPeg & http://www.themoviesgame.com ?

thanks: ides-of-june/james_decides...

Biggles: i did check the site you mention.

hope am wrong in my quick browse- TMO is more into action simulated stunt done is good 3d technology with recent feature like extensive AMM & PP Extensions, and "Free Cam" or "Camera Control" which are all very good.
but(again).... they missed something though you can make your own scene there.. with a number of variations possible 4,205,165 quarter million(hats off)! its still a raw good 3d thingy and this is where iPEgged is heading...you can change the character's feature as your own replica. into eventual dream video...starting of course in some apllicitions like TMO have mention. iPeGGED will have incredible jaw dropping likeliness in reality video and film clips.
How would you like to have a video as crocodile dundee mate with yourself as the star?
bloody awesome huh!? =)

I hope i gave you more than interest.

I like your passion for the idea! And there is no doubt that mini videos are increasing in interest across the web. Especially, as the move from traditional TV technology to systems such as http://www.Joost.com, the mini videos will come into their own.

I don't need any 3d technology for the croc video, just a standard video cam :)

I think you underestimate the technical difficulty in do this. This is common when non-technical people have aspirations beyond their knowledge. If you only use a small number of views if the person's face, you will have a terrible "cut and paste" look. What you need to do id build a 3d model of the person's face and use that in a rendered scene. BTW, any stock footage or personalities you include in the video MUST be licensed, and this is very tightly controlled. I think the project would be a too- high risk for any VC.

TheGuru:

Pax!

Comment appreciated. I answered some of your concern on previous post just the same iI know the tastk ahead. we are driven by passion, positive thought, trust to technology, money and of course the fun of it.
The 3D thing is here and near perfect in most appplications (check TMO), my Tawainese friend gave me enough assurance (after presentation) of the reality jpeg appearance( like Mortal combat arcade thing)... this are the initial and birth feature as we develop the final cut of the video/film footage into a user friendly or online downloadble conveniecence( where the bucks will come in).
On matter re licensing are up to my legal team wich practically is/are small cobwebs due to (again) copy right's own aggreable term or its tight achilles heel (in this case is the use of product as parody). Licensing thingy is another issue if one brand is being flagrantly use without permission (i.e. Products Logo).

By and large, these are all workable and VC would simply give me a tempting offer before i supposed to agree. Youtube was not cheap remember?

Lastly, why would i sell my goose that will lay goldeb eggs?

Can you really launch this as per your time table...i noticed a lot are interested.
Better save all your cambros amigo and refined everything there is to do. Time is the essence my dear.

You got my vote i split with the sweet lil kid name Thunderbear. =)

Love it...you must be a Genie ready to make our wish come true in video!

This is a blast really!

I am concern on some future problems the way fake scandal video humiliate people...it wil be a form of abused to spite people.
How do you intend to control that?

Looks cool to me.. but is the 3d much viable if you intend to have below 20sec movie/video clip for MObile fon than the much tedious and somewhat technically difficult Film footage thingy?

You can count on me on this. We need to show the world the next Youtube millionaire will come from our tribe!

Hope my vote counts.

Yo Saigon,

Ya got a bit of a buzz going. Keep up the energy.

Take a look at spotrunner.com and see what technolgy they are using. I don't think it's the same thing but you could take some ideas from it. They have a huge library of TV commercials that any company can use and customize for their local TV audience. It's TV advertising for the little guy.

Take Action!

ok... but how is it going? are you on schedule?

Dateline:Philippines
0400hrs MLA Time

Boxcar:

thanks for mentioning the site i will check it out as soon as my time permits me. yes i need a good library of videos et al.

Everyone:

Thanks for keeping me at toe, even for the momentarily snap from the sanity of this CH fever that got me. Maybe you've heard i was out of contention for almost a day on the final canto of this wacky weekly tournament.(Ka ERic it was you who lead me to this)..honestly my energy was drained for a while and i still have a long weekdaysa ahead on my Scholarship grant -order to enroll- and some domestic matters... of course not to mentioned the commitment on major IDEAS that brought my whole adrenaline running upto the wee hours of the morning.

-sorry for the personal tone of this comment from the author, even Superman crawl at the sight of Kyrptonite, right Cycko?-

Sorry to bust your bubble.... but you are going to have a hard time with you idea...
Physics are in your way.

Heat or the lack of it is determined by the movement of molecules.
The more the molecules move the hotter it gets. A microwave sends out energy, the excited molecules move more, making things hotter.

When molecule slow down thing get cold.
At -273 Celsius roughly molecules don't move any more.

So if you were to send an energy wave to cool things down... it would be counter productive.

Suggestions

Make a liquid nitrogen cooling system or an air pressure system...
This could be much simpler.

]V[oogy

uh Moogy thanks,

r u sure the comment is for me? ( i was lost for a while..due to the rsult of the tournament)

i admire your wide array of expertise including your passion in 3D.

if you mean interactive 3d technology with physics issue, we are aware of some problem ref:Game Physics (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Interactive 3d Technology) by David H. Eberly

the issue is more on collaboration on existing wonderful feauture iPEeged is needed, a lot of possible software is being increasingly used in other sites, but the cost of proprietary software is too high thus my team would like to develop.

However, Open collaboration continues to remain foreign to the large majority of computer users. In order to accommodate these users, some issues must be seriously addressed and actively resolved. Due to the increases interest buzz circling around this difficulties should be resovled as soon as possible.

Some of the issues’ resolvement would simply require a change of mindset, and some of them entail more work, but in the end what we can possibly produce is what should always be the primary goal anyway: high quality donwlodable product-video or MMS under iPegged solutions.

please email me if you have more wisdom to share, i got some cambros for you waiting =)

Great Idea!

Keep going!

thanks...

please take note that am not wearing Fear colored lense and focus to meet the objective rather than the problem to hurdle.

On the reality bites, the"team" is still needs competent persons to handle specific task. Please check bazaar notes on JOb posting. If Angleic crowd will turn into reality am intend to lobby to get the assistance it bady needs to start.

Keep your comments coming.

This sounds a lot like"The Movies" from EA Games, Maxis Arts.

Kevin,

I replied already on Biggle's similar comment above: in essence we seems related (on 3d)but we are very different in form eventually.
TMO is more into action simulated stunt done is good 3d technology with recent feature like extensive AMM & PP Extensions, and "Free Cam" or "Camera Control" which are all very good.
However,"iPeggeD" will spin off from this(eventually or into spearate application if possible) and envisioning to have a realistic video on demand to spoof or make a parodied copy starring oneself.
