<div dir="ltr"><div style><b>context</b></div><div>google produces <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTjHCCU2E4c" target="_blank">these</a> commercials at a high cost. they then spend at least a magnitude more on distribution of the commercials.</div>
<div><br></div><div>if you can automate the creation process, that would reduce costs significantly enough to warrant $5M. this is the product they would buy: an automated "google chrome" commercial creation app.</div>
<div><br></div><div>further, releasing an app to the public would be a great marketing campaign for google on top of the original campaign. the highest bar to reach for here is creating a general storytelling tool that teaches users to simplify their communication down to be more effective and accessible (sorta like the powerpoint best practices that you can learn).</div>
<div><br></div><div style><b>product thoughts</b></div><div>the input for the storyline comes from a user. </div><div>the storyline can be constrained to only have actions using specific google tools. <br></div><div>the canned media or screencapture personalization system needs to be mapped to google tools.</div>
<div>provide an interface to pick the google tools to tell the story with and input text for the specific tool.</div><div>create scene by scene, order, and bundle into video.</div>
<div><br></div><div>can potentially use <a href="http://embed.ly" target="_blank">embed.ly</a> to reduce the visual media component of a commercial to just a link pointing to a piece of content. this might be the way to generalize the storytelling system to go beyond being google centered - more complications though.<br>
</div><div><br></div><div style><b>status</b></div><div>i dont, personally, have time to build this - more than happy to have sudoroom or a sudoroom subgroup or friends at <a href="http://embed.ly" target="_blank">embed.ly</a> get the check. id prefer everyone at sudoroom to not have jobs and be in charge of their own time at all times.</div>
<div><br></div><div>that being said, im talking to art gibson from <a href="http://embed.ly/" target="_blank">embed.ly</a> tomorrow afternoon to run this by their team - they like to build simple products to show use cases for <a href="http://embed.ly/" target="_blank">embed.ly</a>, so they might want to build their own version. sudoroom is hearing this first, obviously...</div>
